Cover of Melody Maker, 5th Jan 1974. Leo Sayer had already been voted most promising newcomer in December 1973, and now made the cover less than 1 month later. #LeoSayer #MelodyMaker

Melody Maker 31 Dec 1977, and a summing up of the year's movers and shakers on the cover. But who was Erroll Garner? #MelodyMaker #70srule

Por cierto, tras verlos en Coruña, en el Playa Club, año 89/90, me fije que Gregg Kostelich usaba un #bigmuff... y pille uno por correo a una tienda de Londres que se anunciaba en el MelodyMaker.
En 2004 volvieron a tocar en Coruña... y me autografiaron ese pedal

Looking at this old Melody Maker front cover....
Back in January 1985, I was selling this for IR£0.73!
Wasn't every day you saw In Tua Nua named on the cover of such an august musical bible....
And an Evertonian pictured on the cover!

Searched far and wide locally for almost a year, to no avail, in fact, I found a #MelodyMaker special (next guitar to be featured) before I found a LP Jr Doublecut!

But thankfully, I stumbled into 1, albeit a not the Special model with 2 P90s (I also always wanted to try a P90 pup)

Can anyone recall/ find the paper & date with the Elvis commemorative cover? My search skills are failing me.
#NewMusicalExpress, #NME, #Sounds, #MelodyMaker, #RecordMirror? #ElvisPresley!
Apparently, at the time of #ElvisPresley's death, one of the British "inky" music newspapers published a memorial cover with a slinky Elvis silhouetted on the cover and the caption: "Remember Him Like This."

Can anyone recall/ find the paper & date? Search is failing me.

Well it’s #FlashbackFriday so I’m zooming back to #1987 with a super crusty 1965 #GibsonMelodyMaker I bought in Florida when I was visiting a friend. I later had it overhauled by DeMarino Guitars back on Long Island to resemble #JoanJett’s white #MelodyMaker. 🖤

Throwback to December 1987, Melody Maker spotlighted The Cure's electrifying Wembley Arena performance. An unforgettable chapter of the Honeymoon Tour. Were you there to witness the magic? 🖤
