Out Feb 12, a month from today, the reissued Man On The Run, the same month as the official Wings doc of the same name! New cover, new Afterword chapter (mainly involving the time when I popped out to Japan and a Beatle phoned our house and started chatting up my wife…)

Thinking about buying my upcoming Ringo book but also thinking, Nah, I'll wait until Waterstones have got a 25% pre-order deal using the code SUMMER25? Wait no more. Your time is now, doods…

Sad to report that I've cloned on X/Twitter/whatever you want to call it. Any requests for money in exchange for access/reviews from @tomdoyle21 are a SCAM. I've blown the whistle but for now avoid avoid avoid.

New @MOJOmagazine out today, in which I explore @KateBushMusic's early years, her tape experiments and tea-making skills. Includes great feature about Scott Walker's Climate Of Hunter–sounded completely out there when I bought it in '84 and sounds positively commercial now.

The next MOJO How To Buy is on @ThePretendersHQ. Tell @Tom_Doyle_ what your favourite albums from The Pretenders are and why, and we'll print your best citations in a forthcoming issue. #thepretenders #chrissiehynde
I was completely in awe of Hibbs when I first met him in the Smash Hits office in 1988. As I recall in this most excellent new compendium of his writing, he started calling me “my caber tossing chum”. He was peerless and this is the proof.
**Back! Back!! BACK!!**
For the very first time, a collection of his greatest writing from Smash Hits to Q and beyond. Includes brand new essays from those who knew him best
Ruddy hell….it’s Tom Hibbert!

Often writers moan about having to do interviews via Zoom, but this one I did with John Lydon @pilofficial felt very up-close and personal. Amazing really to have this kind of encounter with someone who thrilled and terrified me and blew my mind in '77 as a 10-year-old punk!
The new issue of MOJO is out next week! Featuring
@SiouxsieHQ, @PaulSimonMusic, @eltonofficial, @lydonofficial, @blurofficial, @suedeHQ, Mott The Hoople and @QueenWillRock and more. Plus, a CD of 15 connoisseur cuts of late-’70s punk rarities. Order here: rb.gy/gm7fn

New @MOJOmagazine out today, in which I time travel back to the A&M recording studio lot in LA in '73 for the making of @jonimitchell's mighty Court And Spark. Talked to multi-instrumentalist Tom Scott, pianist Roger Kellaway and even @CheechMarin. Entire issue is ace.
On the eve of Joni Jam, Joni Mitchell graces the cover of the new MOJO. Plus Love, The Teardrop Explodes, Mink DeVille, Zombies, Nick Drake, WITCH, Generation Sex, Paul Simon, Keith Jarrett, Gang Of Four, Alan Sparhawk, Sparks, Queen and more. Order here: greatmagazines.co.uk/mojo-ju…
So sad to wake up and find out Linda Lewis is gone. We'd been in touch again recently after I talked to her for MOJO about singing on Aladdin Sane. We had a right laugh doing this White Label track with her.
