Roger Dean
William Roger Dean (born 31 August 1944), known as Roger Dean, is an English artist, designer, and publisher. He is best known for his work on posters and album covers for musicians, which he began painting in the late 1960s. The artists for whom he did the most art are English rock bands Yes and Asia.
The covers often feature exotic fantasy landscapes. His work has sold more than 150 million copies worldwide.
Views, 1975 [jpeg 1920 x 1920 @ 600dpi]
https://www.imagenetz.de/kE6uc
"Views" surveys the first seven years of Roger's professional career: it includes innovative furniture designs, paintings, architectural projects, typography, stage sets, and, of course, the iconic Yes album covers such as "Tales from Topographic Oceans".
------------------------------------------------
When I was many years younger and selecting which LP to buy next, a Roger Dean cover was a definite plus. The move from LP to CD, and the subsequent miniaturisation of cover art, has taken away the joy of sitting and losing oneself in the beauty of the album cover while being taken on transports of delight by the music.
Doctor Who
The Missing Stories
Series 3 Story 018 - Galaxy 4 [William Hartnell]
https://www.imagenetz.de/hXYEr
Galaxy 4 (alternatively spelled Galaxy Four) is the mostly missing first serial of the third season in the British science-fiction television series Doctor Who. It was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 11 September to 2 October 1965.
In this serial, the Doctor (William Hartnell) and his travelling companions Steven (Peter Purves) and Vicki (Maureen O'Brien) arrive on an arid planet within the titular Galaxy 4, where they encounter the beautiful but dangerous Drahvins and the hideous but friendly Rills, two crash landed species in conflict with one another. Both species wish to escape as the planet is set to explode in two dawns, but the Drahvin leader Maaga (Stephanie Bidmead) only wants for her people to make it out alive.
Only the third episode ("Air Lock"), as well as a six-minute reel of the first episode ("Four Hundred Dawns") are held in the BBC Archives. The rest of the serial remains missing.
There is a reconstruction from stills of "Galaxy 4" on the DVD of Series 1 Story 006 - The Aztecs.
Thanks for the ban, RYP. It's been a real pleasure being part of the community, guys, but it appears I've overstayed my welcome. Take care.

JWDen my friend,
I think you have completely misunderstood something: You are always welcome here, but Metallica and the like are certainly not! ; )
Ah...the band broke up...musical differences.
I appreciate that, RYP, but it's a slippery slope. You ban Metallica "and the like," so who's next? AC/DC? Dead Kennedys? Anyone else who garners negative complaints from other posters? It's your blog, and you are free to make the rules, but I'm not comfortable with any artist being banned. Again, I've enjoyed posting and will miss the community, but maybe this isn't the place for me. Thanks again.
that's my planned motorhead post out the window then.
(Joking)
Bob
To be clear: it is fundamental to maintain diversity here! But the TwilightZone has nothing to do with crap-cheeked music for machos, homophobes or misogynists or as s32x said...
"Metallica? I hate to see an indie/underground site polluted with corporate crap. You might want to read this article about these corporate scumballs.
https://www.shreddingradio.com/metallica.html
Corporate rock is the enemy of everything Twilight Zone stands for. Get a clue."
Bob, Lemmy is Punk, Punk, Punk!
Incidentally, I would definitely not allow NAZI or other inhuman music, otherwise I don't know any limits!
Hi All , I'm hoping someone can help me with Jellybread - The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions (1969-70 ).Any other titles by this band are welcome as well...…. Thanks in advance !!!

'As a side-thought – I weeded out several hundred CDs I didn’t really listen to a couple of months ago and I thought I’d donate them to a charity. I couldn’t be bothered to list each one on ebay and I thought a charity might be able to make a bit of money from them. But I couldn’t find anyone who wanted them. Couldn’t even give ‘em away ! I might end up taking them to a charity shop (they’re up in the loft now) but even they have trouble shifting them I think. All my local charity shops are drowning in them.'
I don't know either how long CD's last for - except longer than Cassettes.
But, yes, Charity shops are full of them right now, but I have never bought one that didn't play.

"I've used recovery services in the past and, yes, they cost a bundle. They do, however, send you a new hard drive with the data on it.
However (and this is why I'm writing this) more often than not, it's the controller that's gone bad-and that's in the case.
Before you commit to spending a fortune, I advise opening the case and taking the drive itself out, getting a new case (Places like Other World Computing sell them for cheap) and set it in. It can very often resurrect a 'dead' drive.
Not always, but it's worth trying.
Thank you, that's a valuable tip.
Never a dull moment on TZ.
I've never seen a post banned outright before.
I can clearly see why, and don't have a problem with that particular decision.
Hope its the first and last tho.
I can also see JWDen's point of view.
So just to say, JWD, that if you don't come back, you will be sorely missed.
You have posted some great stuff, and always a surprising wide range.
I've learned a lot from you.
Go well, brother.
Who is this mysterious S32X... Not a poster I recognize as generally a contributor to this site.
Is S32X now the arbiter of content for this site.
Exclusion is a difficult concept... you are now firmly establishing a line... and that line will dominate every decision you make from now on. You have admitted that the argument is no longer about the quality of the music but quality of the person producing it. Good luck sorting out the "machos, homophobes or misogynists" from the super nice guys.

Indeed. I agree. I will always dislike Metallica and all they stand for, but you have put some stuff up I've really enjoyed. Stay with us dude.
Bob.
PLease gentlemen - reconsider. Losing JWDen's wit and humanity would be a huge loss to us all, and for what...? Banning things seems very extreme (only to be used in the most extreme of circumstance, I would've thought) and if things go the way they're headed, it would be some sort of Pyrrhic victory. JW - you're somebpdy I've never met and almost certainly never will - but I'd be very upset to see you leave (i'm only just getting over Scott Marks' departure...). Please...lads!!!!!...sort it out
Ant
I said it and say it again: JWDen, you are always welcome here! I can't do more! However, if you want to withdraw into the corner offended because of Metallica and the like, I can't stop you. But is it worth it?
Granger88,
are the Adverts, Buzzcocks, Clash, Johnny Thunders, Ramones, 999, A-Bones, Miracle Workers etc for you so-called "super nice guys"? Stay or be factual!
I'm loving this heated debate.

@ RYP I've actually met a lot of the adverts, the buzzcocks and and the clash, In fact worked with some of them, and they really are super nice guys. Sorry I just love a good row and poking bears with a big stick
Now getting back to my Skrewdriver post...
I have the distinct feeling that much of the commotion around RYP's ban of Metallica and JW's response is a problem of language. RYP certainly would phrase certain aspects quite differently (and a little more carefully) if he was a native speaker.
Good Morning RYP,
My first post here after lurking for about a year back in 2011/12 was a Thank You for all the surf music, even though a big Floyd and Zep fan. Now back in these days, there were maybe 2-6 posts additional to the main page (And No Zippy). There were many many times that RYP asked politely: Please I would like to not post Rock/Heavy/Metal music and just Surf/R&B/Soul etc.
He was always told, What do you mean no Rock and Roll it's a music blog isn't it? So he has been asking for a very long time to keep his music site a certain way and was always overruled.
Yesterday, cabledogg2 posted his vinyl wav rip of a Japanese Stones LP from 1983.
Here is my non-vinyl MP3 version:
THE ROLLING STONES – Chicago Chess Sessions (Japan compilation) –Reconstructed from CD sources.
Folder 1 (all mono), mostly taken from the 2016 ‘in mono’ box set.
Imagenetz: https://www.imagenetz.de/bkZDn
Krakenfiles: https://krakenfiles.com/view/W90EpfyDkL/file.html
Folder 2– Stereo versions plus… -- taken from official remasters and one track from a bootleg. This folder is mostly stereo but some tracks are still available in mono only.
Imagenetz: https://www.imagenetz.de/oFJh7
Krakenfiles: https://krakenfiles.com/view/yAKYKx842e/file.html
I added a couple notes to each folder, as two of the Japan compilation tracks were not recorded at Chess but at Regent Sound, London UK. The 1983 LP was a random pick of material, by people not caring much for research. After all, the Stones also laid down quite a bit more at Chess during ’64-’65. Plenty potential for a double LP. These days there’s at least one great comprehensive bootleg CD which also includes outtakes never officially released: “2120 South Michigan Avenue” [DISCOGS: https://www.discogs.com/The-Rolling-Stones-2120-South-Michigan-Avenue/release/1532334 ].
As bootlegs go, some recording location mistakes on that one too, with at least four tracks not from Chicago. I won’t bore you with further details.
Hope you appreciate this reconstruction. Thank you cabledogg2 for inspiration.

Hey jack bond,
Coooool goings, with all that essential reggae greatness you've been posting lately. You sure know how to pick classics. 'Well dread' so to speak. Glad you like The Beach Boys too (and Hi, Chairman!).
Cheers,
--HP
I gotta say I am down with RYP on this one. A blog is a privately operated entity, it is public insofar that it is on the internet. It ain't no democracy. His site, his rules. Don't like it, there are zillions out there. And not to mention RYP hosts one of the most generous blogs. Just saying....
"Free JWDen!"
Okay, before the TwilightZone crashes on this discussion, carry on with this Metallic Hevy Metal Hard Rock Macho posturing! I hate it, but I won't stop it in the future! I'm surrounded by such stuff in reality too and I can take it!
I should think it's obvious from everything Napster & after that allowing Metallica posts of their music for free is the best thing you can do if you DON'T like them. Lars is the poster child for hating file sharing.
Lyrically the band has been certainly anti-war and a number of other ills, one of their better known songs, "One" is based in Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun. Who's a nicer guy, Mike Love..?
@ RYP hey we love you guys. Even my lady loves you but that's mainly cos it gets me out of her hair for 10 minutes every few hours. Then she has to suffer with me playing some great tunes I found later on and boring her to tears.
Bob.

Okay, so here's the deal. I have nothing but the highest respect for RYP and how he runs this blog (and yes, I understand there's somewhat of a language barrier). I also run a blog of queer book reviews, so I can understand just how much work and judgement that entails. And I stand by what I originally said. If you set up criteria for excluding bands on the basis of misogyny, homophobia, corporatization or whatever, you're not going to have much to post after a while--generally, one or two criteria leads to a lot. Misogyny, manifested by serial domestic abuse, can be found from Bob Dylan to Spade Cooley to Ike Turner. And speaking of homophobia, let me also give props to RYP for calling out any and all homophobic remarks directed at me personally (yep, that's happened). He indeed walks it like he talks it.
But there's another factor in my decision to leave that has nothing to do with the blog or Metallica or any criteria RYP or popular opinion might impose.
Yawning Angel sez...
Love you all, regardless of your political affiliations or music tastes. RYP, you built a truly wonderful community here. Brotherly nudges to all your congratal-regions!

Recently, I've seen a lot of epubs posted, and I found myself quite pissed off about it. Why? I'm a writer, and epubs cut into my royalties and diminish my means to make a living (such as it is). I didn't bitch about it or post negative things because I'm loathe to be "that guy". However, it did get me thinking about why I thought there's a difference between music files and epub files. I mean, I'm a gay man writing gay books, so it's not like y'all are my target audience and I personally lost nothing. But the principle is still the same, no matter how you dress up either side. So, until I sort out how I feel about the whole issue, I think I should step aside and just not post for a while.
No malice, no ill will. I have indeed enjoyed my time here and will probably continue to lurk. RYP does an incredible job, and this is an incredibly diverse forum.
Peace out.
I like heavy metal and I can't name a single Metallica song. Their stuff has never caught my attention other than as a reason to switch dial in a different radio station for a while. That is not grounds for excluding Metallica records from a music sharing venue. But the fact that Metallica has actively waged war against their own fans in the real world is.
Allowing people to share Metallica's "intellectual property" on a blog owned by a U.S. corporation invites Metallica to TERMINATE the blog. That's a matter of fact, not speculation: Metallica has been the standard bearer for the corporate war against file sharing for over 20 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica_v._Napster,_Inc.
"sorting out the machos, homophobes or misogynists" is easy, just look and listen. Identifying potential threats to the existence of a file sharing community is harder: You need to understand those threats, and some of them are not obvious until pointed out.

Metallica would love nothing more than to see a place like TZ die a horrible death, so thanks for posting the link to the article from Shredding Paper. I wrote a lot of reviews there, so if folks are into indie/punk from the late 90's - early 2000's, you will find a ton of solid reviews and discoveries there.
@Bob - have you heard of Jewdriver? A friend's band that turns the whole Skrewdriver thing on it's head.

Well said, Diana. We do skate on thin ice, even back in the day when you might flip a friend a tape copy of an album they liked via the sneakernet. I'm not, nor ever have been, a Metallica fan, but I have no fucks to give if someone wishes to listen to them. And yes, what to do about the "woke" thing; "sorting out the machos, homophobes or misogynists"? Lyrical content aside, in my experience horrible people can sometimes make music that touches us in a meaningful or beautiful way. Same deal with Art.

Hi guys,
I made this live Calexico comp a few years ago by going through a ton of live recordings. I just listened to again for the first time in a long time so thought I'd toss it out for you nice folks.

I just watched it. Ha good stuff but the bass player is the spitting image of me right down to the mannerisms (i also play bass) and which was very strange to watch.
By the way you know that the singer of Skrewdriver Ian Donaldson died in a car crash.
We did a gig in Germany with a crusty band called 'dog on a rope' and one of their songs was about him called skrewy driver.
Ha it still makes me laugh
Bob.
@BigGray
Thank you very much for Views!
BTW have I put up any Balham alligators yet? I can't find any record of actually doing it but as I was typing a 'introduction' I had a niggle in the back of my head that I'd already done it. I normally move stuff out of my 'would they like this' folder as I upload it but it's still there. If not I'll do it this week.

Healthy debate is always a good thing. I can see both sides and respect both parties involved, along with their individual decisions. Wishing them all the best whatever the outcome.

If we're banning musicians for being assholes, Mike Love would be right near the top of my list!
JWdenn, its a music site why do we have to now your gay. please stop - i dont need to tell you my sexually???
@djmcblues2 -- Thank you for the ninth/final "Alleyways" mix.
love the anonymous nitwit who posted "free JWDen!"--bravery, eh?
I too see both sides and appreciate both the generosity, breadth, and, indeed, warmth of this blog--despite the occasional sharp elbows (and hatred for northern madman...?)--how folx respond when people are hurting or in need is really kind of amazing. I admire you.
That said, given the time, effort, and energy RYP puts into this place, his making a call on stuff he reads/hears as ugly seems fair. But, I'll add, as someone who teaches some of the kind of music which seems most popular here in a class, the students are fairly astounded by the misogyny, racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, etc. If you wanna place to start cataloging, how about the Stones? As you ineluctably rock along (how can you not), it's kinda embarrassing trying to explain "Under My Thumb" or try "Hey Joe" or the myriad songs about killing women... nicht so gut, verdad? C'est vrai or la guerre or somesuch. To steal and repurpose a clever riff of Martin Mull's, parsing this stuff is like dancing about architecture.
appreciate all y'all for you sharing and many of you for your honesty and bravery in a time and place, this era of global authoritarian revanchism, when such are not always valued. Nice they are here.
this place is an effin' oasis, y'all,
eric
@Chocoreve Thank you so much for releasing the Kraken! Very kind of you. I really appreciate it.
Well, my 2 cents as a several year lurker. Its Ryps blog and totally his call. Banning one kind of music doesnt mean a firestorm is on the way and nothing whatsoever will be allowed. He is doing an amazing job here and has been for a good number of years.
Ha Guys - I'm hating Ryp but still come here - get over it - the world is full of idiots anyway haha greetings from Steve B

and BTW if wanna spit shit put your name to it.
@djmcblues2 - Thanks for Alleyways 9!
@bob, you have definitely not put up any Balham Alligators yet. Perhaps your "memory" was thinking about what you intended to write when you did put them up and it's got twisted in your head.
@HenkP, thanks for the splendid Stones Chess mp3 stuff (and cabledogg2).
Re: Metallica etc. I can see JWDen's point, that if one band is banned, it's unfair. I can also see RYP's point. It's his blog and if he doesn't like metal, then he should be able to say so. I'm not a big fan of metal, country or gospel, though there are some examples of all of those genres that I don't mind. Anyway, RYP has since relented so no harm, no foul. That said, I have a long list of things that I'd rather not hear (Metallica, Judas Priest, Guns'n'Roses, Bon fucking Jovi, Bryan Adams, Céline Dion and Phil bloody Collins to name but 7), but I don't have to download and listen to them so if you want to pollute your ears with that crap, go for it.
I remember a couple of years back when RYP complained about Elton John being posted, describing him and others as "housewife comforters" (LOL, I've never forgotten that charming phrase). There was a great outcry from TZers that Elton was a rock icon.
As far as writing is concerned, I can see JWDen's point too. But I'm pretty much the same with the written word as I am with music. I take in a lot of free stuff and those things that I really like, I buy. I just bought the most recent short story collection by Haruki Murakami, for example. I could have downloaded it for free, but I like Murakami a lot, so I bought it. I have his last novel on my 'to be read' pile too.
The point is that TZ is a great blog that caters to all sorts of people, with all sorts of tastes, across the planet and usually we all get on well. I just skim past the things I'm not interested in and dig out the good stuff. Surely we all do the same (whatever we personally define as 'good')?
To the poster who described me as mysterious I've been participating in this site for over 10 years, sharing and thanking others for their posts. (last week I put up a bunch of John Peel shows) Everyone who goes here knows this is not a corporate rock blog. Most posters have been supportive, but a few have raised red herrings. Corporate rock is the enemy of what TZ stands for. I suspect there are sites where corporate rock is appropriate, but this isn't one of them. If you respect this site don't falsely allege censorship because there is none.
This is most unfortunate. The debate about Metallica is uniquely complex because of who they are and all of the roles they play as outlined by several commenters.
I won't miss Metallica but I hate to see JWDen go.
thanks djmcblues for the alleyways 9 share
Great work
hey RYP,
thanks for the wonderful Tati-clip. Allez les bleu!

I fucking hate Metallica and have never downloaded any of their aural swill, nor do I own any of their pedestrian clap twaddle. It doesn't bust my chops not having them on here. Their crap is everywhere, like a disease. I hate to see folks go but they don't have to get all Planet Manpurse about it and then you find it has nothing to do with the topic. Pass the Kleenex, sympathy is right between syphilis and shit in the dictionary.
Diana Brill said,
"I like heavy metal and I can't name a single Metallica song. Their stuff has never caught my attention other than as a reason to switch dial in a different radio station for a while. That is not grounds for excluding Metallica records from a music sharing venue. But the fact that Metallica has actively waged war against their own fans in the real world is.
Allowing people to share Metallica's "intellectual property" on a blog owned by a U.S. corporation invites Metallica to TERMINATE the blog. That's a matter of fact, not speculation: Metallica has been the standard bearer for the corporate war against file sharing for over 20 years."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica_v._Napster,_Inc.
Thank you, Diana. I wanted to post in support of RYP. Couldn't have said it better myself.
I can fully understand RYP's reaction, when Metallica's actions and attitude are in total contradiction to what he stands for, and has been doing with TZ. And, hell, potentially dangerous.
Yes, the fallout has been unfortunate, but that's life.
Also, The site doesn't censor artists and materials for the content of their lyrics - also doesn't neccessarily endorse them either, but the posts demonstrate the enthusiasm and knowledge of the various individuals in the community, and enriches us all.
Incidentally if you started banning the STONES for some of their lyrics, you would have to ban most RnB and Blues as well. Lets not start.
May happen soon enough anyway.
I see several Ike Turner posts here today. Nuff said? And I'm happy to have them.
Lovers of all things musical,
I'm seeking The Amazing Rhythm Aces discography, hoping someone can help me out
Regards

Los Lobos... apparently there is a new live album which btw was already available on archives.org.... Much more interesting is the availability of 2 recent shows Loma Vista Gardens, Big Sur 29-05-2021. Los Lobos has always been fans and do always covers, in these great recordings they cover Cinnamon Girl (they´ve done that before often) but also Sail On Sailor with Al Jardine. Surely a nice addition.

Well that went well, didn't it? We're losing one of the leading lights of the group and it was all so avoidable. JW - so sorry to see you leave. Good luck with all your endeavours - you're one of the main reasons why this place was such fun; you'll be a big miss.

Just caught up with the Metallica debate. Bottom line is always to respect the wishes of the blog owner. Only other comment is never go overboard about what anyone posts about you or your choices. Its just about sharing music nothing more.

Bob - I understand what you mean (Shaggs not sue-ing their own fans) but can't we listen to the music divorced from who made it? I mean, there are artists I loathe personally (Steve Winwood comes to mind - funnily enough he has the same unpleasant hobbies as J Hetfield of Metallica) but it doesn't affect my enjoyment of Traffic. Just one example.
Anyway, apart from anything else, wouldn't sharing Metallica for free be the most appropriate response to their Napster thing?
RYP said...
Bob, Lemmy is Punk, Punk, Punk!
But RYP - Lemmy was one of Metallica's greatest champions ! He helped and encouraged Lars Urich from way before Metallica even existed. Lemmy's attitude was that it's all rock n roll. He said several times in interviews that he didn't recognise labels like Heavy Metal or Punk - he said it was all just rock n roll.
And if you don't want anything from 'machos, homophobes or misogynists' that means many Rap/HipHop artists would stand a chance of getting blocked. Not to mention a number of reggae artists.
I suggest you don't examine Frank Zappa's lyrics too closely - you might find a lot of stuff that falls into those categories you don't like.
HenkP - thank you for your comments.
@ Jack bond. mate with the utmost respect, These c***s would take this site down in a heartbeat. And go to bed feeling they did a good job. As I have said I don't care about Metallica. I should love 'em, I love this sort of music, Motorhead, discharge, GBH, disorder and a lot of the reggae you have put up, thank you by the way. But all these bands don't behave like kids who have cucked the dummy out of the pram cos' the millions they already have is not enough
for them. Just check out docs on you tube. It's f**king embarrassing.
still love the zappa and the reggae.
Ta
Bob.

Okay, before the TwilightZone crashes on this discussion, carry on with this Metallic Hevy Metal Hard Rock Macho posturing! I hate it, but I won't stop it in the future! I'm surrounded by such stuff in reality too and I can take it!
Thanks RYP back to normal. I hate bands like metallica but hate censoring more. cheers
1) this is RYP's site. He can do whatever he wants, we are just guests here. He can ban any type of music or artists he decides to. We do not get a vote. Enjoy what is shared here, and don't complain about what is not.
2) JWDen, I understand your dilemma as a writer, and how it applies to music. The way I deal with this is by buying product from those I wish to support. I will download things, that I would not normally buy, or from artists that do not need the revenue. As far as being gay, who cares, you are an excellent member of this community, and your voice here is important.
