Heartbreak and harmonies

From the Birmingham blues scene to Hamburg’s Star-Club, communal living and the world’s arenas, CHRISTINE McVIE brought elegance and propriety – as well as considerable songwriting expertise – to FLEETWOOD MAC. But will a new compilation showcasing her solo work provide a suitably graceful cap to her storied career? “This may be my swansong,” she confides to Michael Bonner

Forget “Everywhere”. Here’s a trove of other great McVie songs

HARDCORE UPROAR

Having spent the past 20 years boldly exploring the extremities of garage rock, psychedelic sludge and free-jazz meltdowns, OSEES have returned with a thrillingly intense new album, A Foul Form. Sam Richards discovers how the band's new “scum-punk” direction is providing catharsis at a troubled time. “I would never consider the Osees to be the conscience of humankind,” says their fearless leader JOHN DWYER, “but at the same time it’s never bad to hold a mirror up…”

“NOBODY SOUNDS LIKE THEM”

How the Osees’ new album was inspired by “extra-weird” Hertfordshire punks Rudimentary Peni

FREE YOUR MIND!

As GEORGE CLINTON’s latest ‘farewell’ tour rolls into town, Uncut hitches a ride aboard the Mothership. There, veteran Funkateers and new recruits bear testimony to the joyous legacy of Parliament-Funkadelic. But where next for the collective’s visionary patriarch? “This particular cherub,” hears Nick Hasted, “may be here forever.”

The boy from Brazil

From São Paulo to New York, via a remote island off the southeast coast of Brazil, SESSA has taken his dreamy, strippeddown brand of Tropicália with him. But how does he contend with the movement’s history and tradition as well as Brazil’s turbulent political landscape? “I’m a musician, that’s where my heart is,” he tells Allison Hussey

ISLAND LIFE

A gambler by nature, Island Records visionary CHRIS BLACKWELL has backed many winners in a long and colourful career, from Free, Bob Marley and King Crimson to Roxy Music, Grace Jones and Tom Waits. Peter Tosh called him “Whiteworst!”, Lee Perry branded him an “energy pirate”, but the label supremo has been hugely respected, if not loved, by his artists. “I knew I wanted to spend my life close to music,” he tells Graeme Thomson

‘‘Not a bad 12 months, was it?’’

Welcome to 1962: the first annus mirabilis of many in the extraordinary life of THE BEATLES. Over the next 12 pages we relive the key events in this fast-moving, transformative year – from disaster in Decca’s Studio 2 to triumph on the stage of the Empire Theatre. Familiar faces appear here for the first time, old friends depart, the tempo is set for the rest of their career – and by the end of the year, John, Paul, George and Ringo are poised to release their first No 1 single. The future, Peter Watts discovers, is born here
