Hi all, it's a cornucopia (ooh !) of information for you this time round. Where to start, where to start ? It's all about AZ Shows, Schedules, Audioboos...
Ok, let's begin with the Audioboo. It's new to me, and something I was asked to do recently, by oft-radio-colleague Eric Wiltsher. Ah, but hang on...it's a talky thing ! Well, I'm not used to that, but soon got into the swing of it, and before I knew it, my allotted 30 minutes were done, and, as they say, dusted. I ramble on about Music and Vinyl (no surprises there eh ?) and will do more of the same, and touch on many other subjects too, no doubt, in the future. By all means give it a listen - particularly if you're a fan of the 'Lost Art' of Album Covers, and musical history in general. Where to find it ? Easy ! Here's the direct link, and then just press 'Play'...
On to The Album Zone now, and a quick update on Programme Schedules for you. As some may know (but I'll remind you anyway), we are on globally via Replay Radio (http://www.replayradio.net) and Bondi (http://www.bonditunes.com) too, from good ol' sunny, surfy, Bondi Beach, in Australia. As ever, we can also be heard on WCRV 97.7, in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania (Fridays and Sundays), and also Hesser College Radio in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA (Saturdays).
Here's the latest AZ Schedules - all times listed are UK time :

More to follow !
I want to mention 2 people/companies, who are essential to us here at The Album Zone, and keep us going with their wonderful support, towards our massive gigabytes of broadband bills (transferring programmes all over the world can be a time consuming and costly process !) and do please check them out at some point - oh, and you can grab yourself a damn good bargain at the same time !
Firstly, our regular supporters at Thatstore, many thanks to Fawn and the gang for their constant and fabulous support. Check them out !, at http://www.amazon.com/shops/thatstore. Absolute bargains books, and fast, efficient service too. Go for it !
New to the land of AZ, and showing his support too, is Norm from Golden Jewelers, do pay him a visit - you can find his excellent online storefront, at http://stores.ebay.com/goldenjewelers. Buy something shiny !
Want to say Hi ? You can do so, by contacting us at studio@albumzone.co.uk.
There are things vying for your ears attention tonight. For starters, there's Five Feet Of Lovin', a visit from Mr Bassman, a touch of Les Annees Erotique, and A Really Good Time. All this, with Tea and Aero, via www.replayradio.net. Midnight ! (Uk time)
Hi all, has it been a while ? I think it has. Many changes afoot in recent weeks, and we felt the time was right to make them.
Here we are now, on Replay Radio, a total of 7 (yes, seven !) times per week - which consists of 3 brand new Album Zone shows for each 7 day period, with a few repeats thrown in to make it easier for others around the world to still catch us, in differing timezones.
The details ? Well, http://www.replayradio.net is the place to be, for our main AZ outlet. The shows go like this (UK timezone quoted here) :
Saturdays at Midnight (repeated Mons at 20.00 and Weds at 08.00) Sundays at 19.00 (repeated Thurs at 02.00) Tuesdays at 21.00 (repeated Fris at 02.00)
With those AZ Show Times listed above, this means we are now heard around the world on the Net, 7 days a week.
Don't forget ! - our good friends at WCRV (97.7 in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania) air us locally too, on Fridays and Sundays at 18.00 EST. If you're in the area, say hi !
There are some other Programme relays to tell you about, which we'll do in the next Bulletin.
Meanwhile, below, is the current AZ Programme Schedule, via Replay Radio. All AZ Shows are 2 hours duration. Drop in and say Hi anytime ! Our email address is : studio@albumzone.co.uk.
