Folks, I'm really sorry this is getting to you so late ... I was away on business Thursday and Friday, not getting home until late Friday night and then all day Saturday, out with family at a graduation party and didn't get home from that until late, so ... It's all put me further behind on everything ...
Anyway, here we go with some news items that have actually been in my Inbox since Wednesday that I'm sure my PR contacts aren't best pleased about the delay in getting this info to you.
Apologies to all of those folks.
On a positive note, I will soon be offering a 'new' release, from an artist who has just released his first new music in 12 years.
Not, it's not hard rock, it's a little more laid back, but this guy has had some seriously big hits and those good folks at Universal have provided a signed copy of this guys latest release and there's also another copy, not signed, but hey, it's something for nothing, well, not completely nothing as there WILL be a question. Now that's got you thinking, hasn't it?!
So, onto the news! Cheers, Al

Robert Plant's Blue Note on DVD August 23
In-depth documentary detailing Plant's musical journey,
featuring live performances and rare footage.
Robert Plant's journey through the territories that have most acutely informed and inspired his music is perhaps one of the most multi-faceted of any artist from his generation. In a remarkable career that has spanned five decades, Plant has travelled from gold-maned god of hard rock to balladeering country troubadour, a process of reinvention guided by an ever-expanding musical palette and tireless searches through global song. His fantastic voyage has essayed the plantations of Mississippi, the deserts and townships of Africa and the settlements of the Appalachians. This film follows Robert's incredible and on-going tour of musical styles and acts as travelogue in its unique approach to documenting and reviewing a career that has been built on endless fascination, consistent experimentation and a unique talent that makes the incorporation of his discoveries into a popular contemporary form seem almost effortless. Featuring rare footage, performance archive, recorded interviews, contributions from his closest collaborators, expert critique from the finest music writers, plus location film, news reports seldom seen photographs and a host of other features. For more info on this release, go to: Official Robert Plant website: Voices of Extreme to release 'Break the Silence' in August  VOICES OF EXTREME is a New York-based metal/hard rock act that burst onto the scene in 2006.
