  • 7/29: Stuart Clayton announces THIRD BASS TRANSCRIPTION BOOK!
    I’m pleased to announce that my 3rd book of Mark King Transcriptions is now available. It is a larger volume than the previous two and contains 24 tracks in both standard notation and tablature:

    A Floating Life, A Pharaohs Dream (Of Endless Time), Clocks Go Forward, Coup D’Etat, Dance On Heavy Weather, Freedom Someday, Good Man In A Storm, Goodbye Ray Schmidt-Volk, Heaven In My Hands, Hours By The Window (Demo), I Sleep On My Heart, It’s Not The Same For Us, I Want Eyes, Leaving Me Now, My Hero, Seven Days, Take A Look, The Essential, The Sleepwalkers, To Be With You Again, Tracie, Why Are You Leaving?, World Machine, Bass Solo Live @ Wembley 1986

    The style and presentation of the book has been greatly improved from the previous volumes, and makes for a much clearer, easier read. Volume 3 is printed on slightly heavier paper to eliminate show-through, has a printed card cover, and is Wire bound, which is much better and stronger than the comb binding. Due to the larger size, the price has increased from the previous books.

    In UK: £18 + £2 Postage and Packaging = £20
    Outside UK: £18 + £5 Postage and Packaging = £23

    To order, please send a cheque payable to Stuart Clayton to:

  • 7/19: NEW YCB ALBUM "ULTRA-VIOLET" REVIEW!
    YCB's brand new CD "Ultraviolet" arrived in the mail yesterday, and let me tell you, it's been great fun driving around listening to Brit Funk (Play LOUD!)

    8 brand new songs ranging from Jazz Funk to Fusion, like the early instrumentals of Level 42. On every song you'll hear tight hi-hat work (and the occasional double bass pedal), smooth walking bass and fat slapping bass, keyboards ranging from synth to B3, rocking guitar and ol' funky "wacka-ja-wacka" wah pedal guitar, alt and tenor sax melodies (even harmonized) and to top it all off: Sean Freeman of Level 42 plays guest saxophone on "Slaptastic" and "YCB3"!

    2 live tracks are included from the show at Cafe De Luchpost in Holland, and if you haven't heard the full show, ORDER IT NOW! It was professionally recorded at Levelfest 2001 by Pascal Koolen and Richard de Jong.

    Visit Y-CHROMO-BOYZ.COM and order "Ultraviolet" or any of their other albums! Not convinced? Listen to "Panoramic Fantasy" in RealAudio!

    1) Panoramic Fantasy
    2) Forever Onwards
    3) 2 Minutes 2 Chill
    4) Slaptastic
    5) When the bell tolls
    6) YCB3
