Richard
Hello! My name is Richard Morton Jack, and I live in London. This blog is a companion to my GALACTIC RAMBLE and ENDLESS TRIP books, and to the magazine I edit, FLASHBACK, all of which cover the 60s and 70s UK and US music scenes in detail. I started the Sunbeam label in 2005 and the Flashback label in 2015. Both specialise in meticulous reissues of lost classics.
