Skeletons in the cupboard
Since I mentioned that I had been thinking about starting this thread, it falls to me to actually kick it off.
What I have in mind is those records in your collection which have low or zero ‘street creditability’; the sort of thing that you bought to remind you of a time and place in your life and/or that you simply enjoy listening to, although you may be in a minority of one.
I’ll start things off, in no particular order (since they were pulled from different parts of my collection) we have:
Canned Heat, ‘Boogie with Canned Heat’
Marc Brierley, ‘Hello’,
Kraftwerk, ‘Autobahn’,
It’s A Beautiful Day, ‘It’s A Beautiful Day’,
The Incredible String Band, ‘5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion’ and ‘Changing Horses’,
Ron Geesin, ‘A Raise of Eyebrows’,
Lalo Schifrin, ‘Marquis de Sade’,
The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, ‘Peanut Butter Conspiracy’,
Planxty, ‘The Well Below the Valley',
Phil Collins, ‘Face Value’,
The Hollies, ‘Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress’,
Manfred Mann, ‘For Sale’,
Robert Plant, ‘The Principle of Moments’,
Andy Roberts, ‘Home Grown’,
Leon Russell, ‘Leon Russell and The Shelter People’,
Pete Skellern, ‘Astaire’,
And finally:
Sainkho, ‘Out of Tuva', an odd mixture of Tuvan ‘throat singing’ and Mongolian electro-pop.
So there you go – any followers? Come on, don't be shy, let’s hear what’s “in your closet”.
Regards
