Sgt Bilko was hugely popular in its day - humour a bit too American for me, like that I Love Lucy thing.Quote:

Ultravox - Rage In Eden. I cannot express how good I think the first 4 Albums by Ultravox (with Midge Ure) are!!! SUBLIME!!!
Playing this album (ripped from my CD in FLAC) via the Pi-DAC Streamer through to my Pioneer AV amp - sounds great !!! :thumbsup:
Would definitely recommend 'Aqualung' and 'Thick as a Brick'.Quote:

Having said that, I quite like 'Songs from the Wood' (1977).
that was the 2 i had. felt they went a bit downhill after.Quote:

I always liked the look of the "Thick as a Brick" album sleeve (John & Yoko's "Some Time in New York City" similarly appealed, though I did resist it as I did eventually hear it and thought it was a bit cack).
"Thick as..." will go on my Christmas wish list, along with albums from King Crimson, Blind Faith, also Waka/Jawaka, all of which passed me by first time around.
Still my favourite Genesis live album and takes me back to the first time I saw them live in the late 70's. I knew the "old" songs (The Cage, I Know What I Like, Suppers Ready et al) with Collins vocals before I really knew the Gabriel versions.

So first up, this soundtrack album from 1980, with one of my all time favourite ballads and a singer who totally blew me away live. When touring the songs from the film her support act were some guys called Duran Duran not sure if they ever amounted to much ! [emoji16] Great saxophone solo on Will You by Wesley Magoogan, the album stayed in the chart for 38 weeks with the singles Will You and Eighth Day both making the top 10.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b681ebccb8.jpg

You know, I'd always assumed the saxophone was done by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay, I've no idea where I got that from :doh: Great song though, I remember it well - reminds me of good times spent in the far north of Scotland at the time of its release :)Quote:
