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.

Doors 8pm, music starts at 8.30. See you there!

Our 10th anniversary sessions continue at Glossop Labour Club on Thursday 8th June when we’ll be playing one of the most controversial albums ever released. On vinyl and in full.

Released in October 1977, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols has probably been written and talked about more than any other album. Possibly more than it’s actually been played or heard! It’s reputation precedes it, and that it can still shock over 45 years since it was originally released is proof of the albums power and the continuing cultural significance of the Pistols. But what does it sound like after all this time? Let’s find out!
