Hey everybody,

Thought y'all would like to know Ive finally posted the Stereo Shoestring story on my blog.
I know, it took way too long but and I probably overthought it, but here it finally is...
May need a few revisions and corrections, but its at least presentable now.
Sound Clips coming soon, as if you guys hadn't heard those songs a million times already!

Thanks to everyone who helped me put it together!

Coming up is the Sounds Of Time story. They were the only other band on the English label. It turns out they had not just one, but TWO 45's on the label! And one of them came with an ultra rare picture sleeve.

Thanks for the Stereo Shoestring story - I've been wondering about them since the early '80s when i heard it on Flashbacks. Thanks also for making the photos high res so I could have a proper look at them.

Glad I could help shed some light on this classic 45! It was long overdue for someone to do it...

The grainy version of the live band photo that had been shared online before was a scan from the black & white pages of Not Fade Away, the magazine Hanners was involved with putting out back in the 80's.

I borrowed the original prints that had been used for that magazine from my friend Peter, who now owns the photos (the SS and the Clockwork Orange one). I figured it was important to finally have quality scans of those out there!
