I cannot see an existing thread so I will take the plunge and start!

Quite a tough solve with two rhyming pairs and a connection between two of the other long clues - one down an the other across. Initials clue but no spoonerism.

Is it just me or should (LOI) 15a contain a homophone indicator in the clue?

10a was fun, I cannot help wondering if Everyman was thinking of another album by a different artist?

Thanks to Everyman, stay warm everyone.

i was a bit surprised by my answer at 15a, but, if i is right, it doesn;t need a homophone indicator.

I have nothing, surprisingly.

Are there any anagrams?

Quite a tricky one I thought. Didn’t have a problem with 15, other than blatant product placement.
Curious that the two components of 6d appear as components of other solutions…

Druh, yes, 1d and 14d should get you started…

There are also two “hiddens” and the “primarily” clue

11a is an anagram and 9a is pretty straightforward if you are familiar with his decimal system. Sort of mid range difficulty I thought. Nice solve. Happy Sunday.

Good fun I thought…and I agree that the cloven footed 15 is usually spelled slightly differently in English JustSolve - the brand uses the Africaans spelling. I must say I was impressed by the length of one of the hiddens.

I didn't realise there was an alternative spelling until I saw your post - brainwashed by the brand! I see what JustSolve meant now.
