Our 10th anniversary sessions continue at Glossop Labour Club on Thursday 12th October, when we’ll be playing Meat Loaf’s million seller Bat Out Of Hell, on vinyl and in full!
We’ve had requests to play this album since day one of record club, and finally, that day is here! Released in 1977, the album is renowned for its grandiose, theatrical rock sound and powerful vocal performances. Produced by Todd Rundgren, featuring members of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band among the musicians and, of course, written by Jim Steinman, the album’s themes revolve around youthful rebellion, romance, and a sense of freedom. It’s a larger than life sonic experience!
But what are your memories of the album? Come along, listen and discuss.

We’re back after our summer break on Thursday 14th September – ten years to the day since our very fist session – and going back 50 years to 1973 to play one of the biggest selling albums of all time (it’s now sold over 45 million copies worldwide) – Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon – on vinyl and in full.
How we’ve made it to 10 years and not played this album before we’re not quite sure, but we’re finally putting that right. We’ll also be playing a smattering of other Floyd tunes and music from 1973 along the way.
Doors 8pm, music starts at 8.30. See you there.

We’re back at Glossop Labour Club on Thursday 13th July when we’ll mark the 50th anniversary of David Bowie’s last performance of Ziggy Stardust by playing the live album of that very show.
Recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon (now Apollo), London on 3 July 1973, Bowie’s on-stage retirement took the audience and his band by surprise, and set the pattern for a career in which Bowie would always keep ch-ch-ch-changing. With Mick Ronson’s guitar to the fore and Bowie’s penchant for drama at the max, it’s an incendiary and enthralling performance from the first note to the last.
We’ll be playing the 2003 version of the album, remixed by Tony Visconti and released to mark the show’s 30th anniversary. An expanded 50th anniversary release is imminent, but sadly won’t be out in time for us to play. Maybe we’ll do that for the 60th anniversary!
Doors 8pm, music starts at 8.30. See you there.
