Coming soon, the long-overdue Spin
on-line database and ordering service. We will continue to run the
news side of the web site in the normal way, devoted to forthcoming
and new releases, but we will back this up with a massive database of
stock which we are just in the process of compiling. Secure
on-line ordering will compliment our existing Telephone and
'Customer Number' ordering facilities.
Expect everything to be
up and running by the end of January 2004.

Tim
Rose - 'Snowed In' " 'Snowed In' was a hard, if not near impossible album to make. Producing Tim Rose in his final year was tough – like trying to tame a lion with a rubber chair. Recording days were troubled and long, vocal takes thrown away, chairs smashed, banjo strings snapped and egos squashed into the lyric sheets – but worth every minute when you hear Tim’s vocals, caught like a snapshot from an old brownie camera….painting an honest picture through music and song is the hardest thing to achieve. Even through his illness Tim did this….every take filled with truth, theatre and pain.” Colin Winston-Fletcher – Tim Roses producer for 'Snowed In' "
