a lot of comparable stories online about how us comic books ended up in uk, Liverpool, Manchester, London clip of one below, google takes ya to more A short history of ballast comics https://g1rm.wordpress.com/2020/04/18/a-short-history-of-ballast-comics/ So to explain what actually happened with this unofficial supply of comics. Ships would load on ballast with comics as back in the day you’d have print runs of hundreds of thousands, so when newsstands returned unsold copies in the US, they’d be used by ships because they were so disposable plus with US comics distribution essentially in the hands of the Mob it was an easy way to kill excess printruns without too many questions. These copies would get to the UK and if not flushed into the Atlantic, they’d be kept onboard or dumped portside and this is where for us it gets interesting. If you lived in a big port city (which I did having grown up in Glasgow) you’d find piles of comics, sometimes slightly water damaged, in markets or newsstands. I remember one stall in the old Barras market, plus one in St. Enoch’s Square where I’d go down and pick up imports such as Amazing Spider-Man #129. shrug

so whats this all about Simon?

could the 'ballast' remarks have come about if ships were faced with sailing across the Atlantic with not much cargo, and then rather than then having to use water ballast, they instead loaded up with not very valuable cargo eg vinyl records, us comic books, and so on in the cargo holds, that normally wouldn't be worth transporting across?

The Chicago Readers 'Secret History of Chicago Music' series of articles by Steve Krakow takes a look at Barbara Livsey Barbara Livsey was born May 27, 1946, in Atlanta, Georgia, and around 1958 her family moved to Chicago, where she attended Parker Academy on the south side. In high school Livsey (also known as Barbara Bates) took music classes and formed her first group, the Du-Ettes, with her cousin....

Word just in about a new Ebook version of 'The Heeey Baby Days Of Beach Music', details follow below Greg Haynes’ massive 13 pound book—THE HEEEY BABY DAYS OF BEACH MUSIC-- chronicling stories of the bands, venues and times that were the late 1960s is now available as an eBook! It is available through Ebay see belwo for the link First published in hardback in 2006, the coffee-table sized book has been out of print since 2009. The thumb drive version contains a new Epilogue that lists the later released CDs 15-17 as bonus content. The eBook contains 557 pages and over 800 photographs. In late 2001, after spending over 30 years reminiscing about those few years he had as a band promoter in the late 1960s, Greg Haynes realized that if someone didn't make a permanent record of the unforgettable music, times, and events of those days in the Southeast, the memories would be lost forever. What started as a book to highlight the most popular bands ended up including groups that made the Beach Music genre a significant music form. By the time Greg wrapped up The Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music, every state in the Southeast that had a shoreline was in the book. Greg's retrospective, he says, "is not be a complete anthology of the party bands of the South in the '60s; but I believe we have achieved a fantastic overview of the most significant acts of the era and many of the lesser-known acts as well." The complete eBook on a handy USB thumb drive via First Class U.S. Mail for $29.95 +$3.19 postage and handling. You can now re-live the memories and see all the valuable (and now, many long-lost) images of the era on your laptop, computer, or tablet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284837266428 -

Just out, details follow... Acid House As It Happened by Dave Swindells. Blurb 'A brilliant title for what is already the definitive unofficial visual history of 1988. Swindells photographed the first Acid nights at Future and Shoom in March ‘88, then Spectrum, Trip, Mutoid Waste Company, events organised (or otherwise) in car parks and bus depots, all throughout that year of seismic change, ending in November with the appropriately named Adrenalin. Dave documented and wrote about it all back then as the nightlife editor of Time Out, and is now re-visiting and re-telling the history of Acid House, as it happened, in his own words, and of course photographs. It’s a fast ride.' Introduction by Sheryl Garrett. Further texts by Dave Swindells. Hardcover. 30 x 23.5cm. 192 pages. First edition of 2000.

Bobby Oroza - Get On The Otherside - New Album View full article
Bobby Oroza. His sophomore album, Get On The Otherside, is out worldwide today. Get On The Otherside updates the soulful musical formula that Bobby introduced on his first record, This Love, alongside the production of frequent collaborators Cold Diamond & Mink. Lyrically though, the album steps further into unflinching reflections on himself than he ever has before, after being drawn back into construction work during the pandemic to provide for his family. Confronted with a lack of studio time or tours to play to channel his thoughts into creative output, Bobby turned inward and crafted a record that works through personal truths, disassembles any notions of past ego and presents a refreshed perspective with the same soulful musical backdrop he's always held as part of his identity.
