Ginger in Classic Rock

[hiprlb]

Just received new issue and Ginger is covered in this months Buyers Guide.
Pretty extensive as Supershit , SG5 and Clam Abuse all get covered.
They even tag Grevious Acoustic Behaviour in the playlist column.
It bigs the man up quite nicely altho they'll be some discussion on shuffling the choices round a bit I'm sure.
Anyway, it's better than Kerrangs effort.

Any chance of a scan if anyone dont mind ?

Are you sure it was 'Classic Rock' you bought? According to the last issue the new one wasn't supposed to be out until today (April 4)

the perk of being a subscriber i'm afraid.

Read it in Tesco yesterday!

Great publicity, but did anyone else get the impression that the reviewer had never heard Fishing For Luckies, in any of its incarnations? There was no mention of it, or any of its tracks, anywhere.

A major omission, methinks.

I AM a subscriber....although I do live in America so that might have something to do with it

[hiprlb]

you make a fair point sir,
british post may be crap but delivery to newcastle is probably a touch quicker than to your shores.

And as if by magic...


Wouldn't pay too much attention to the actual words though, 'cos there're one or two teensy balls-ups.

Like the bit where the reviewer says Ginger trashed the KERRANG! computer over a bad review....eh Ean?

Well done Jones. I wondered who'd be the first to spot that.

I think I'm on pretty safe ground. The guy's journalistic accuracy having been somewhat compromised by the other three or four easily verifiable facts he got wrong - not least the several years in the middle of their recording career that he seems blissfully unaware of...

Shame, this is the same fella who used to make sure that Ginger was on the Phill Jupitus show on a regular basis and that there was a fair sprinkling of rock on the show.
Just a pity that he doesn't know the minutiae of wildhearts history and discography, like some people on here.

Perhaps you should write to Classic Rock and tell them that the journalist who managed to get a TWO PAGE spread on the Wildhearts, does not have every single fact about the band at his disposal.
