I didn't know about this hoax album, didn't even know this sort of thing happened in this day and age..

.. and this seller, who are selling lots of albums by the group "Sunderland"

what do you mean, before you get too excited - is that 2022 video fake?

Um, no.

Before you get excited about a new Portishead album in the link.

Wow, that fake Portishead/Mandalay album was doing the rounds years back, no idea why it's still listed on Discogs as it's long debunked

It explains it in the notes, but still listed as it is an object that exists.

Um, no.

only a half hour show? were there more bands playing? it feels like such a tiny set after so many years inactive. Beth Gibbons sounds a bit out of breath in some segments (particularly on the higher notes for 'wandering star' and 'roads')

They sound great in general though.

Idles headlining. Wrong way round, obvs.

She's aged well though!

amazing show, love it
