Blimey...That's it folks. All 32 Alan's Album Archives E-books are now published and available from Amazon (and hopefully in some new places this coming year - we'll add the new links as we go!) Don't be too sad though - there will always be new albums to review, other things to write, I still plan to add a 'review of the year' here each year as long as I am able and there are still plenty of new Spice Girls jokes to crack. Plus it's not like we didn't leave enough for you to read - by my reckoning there's 17.500 odd pages here and surely you can't have read them all (I'm not even sure if I did and I wrote them!!!) However, that's it for now. To make it easier for you to find our books here they all are again. Thankyou so much for your custom and readership over the years!
All our books feature every band or artist's studio albums reviewed in-depth (7-10,000 words) with mini-reviews of live, solo, compilation, rarities and spin-off albums plus non-album recordings, plus an essay, biographies and 'thematic threads'. Each book also contains a 'B-Sides' section featuring the run-down on surviving TV clips, outtakes, key cover versions, landmark concerts, extracts from the Alan's Album Archives 'top ten' columns and plenty more besides.
