Time for a bit of "Stupidity", as prescribed by Dr Feelgood
Well both did some good stuff but Johnny was always more bluesy, Edgar more rock based imo.Quote:

Yes, you could be right - I'm always more attracted to bluesy artists, so perhaps I'm being a bit unfair the Edgar Winter. But everytime I have seen him (on TV), he's come across as being not very good, just flash.Quote:

By the way this album (an early pressing this one) is excellently produced, with great separation and soundstage, a good test listening record IMO.

Quite a few of my older records have suffered to some degree from damp storage, due to where my ex-missus kept them boxed up before I got round to retrieving them. Most are quite easy to replace 80's albums, but I could never get rid. So one day I will get round to having them cleaned. We spoke about this a few months ago if you remember, with you kindly offering to help. But all kinds of stuff has happened since then :(Quote:

Cheers Adrian, I've seen this one before and wondered whether it would be any good, as I don't really trust online reviews. I will first see how I am for work post-lockdown, and then speak to you about alternative cleaning solutions and also replacement inner sleeves (the originals are less than perfect).Quote:

Yes the monkees got slated because of use of session musicians, especially in the beginning, what is not said was that they wanted to play and records themselves and were refused by the manager and record company. They go their own way eventually threatening to quit.Quote:

I've always got my copy of Cohen's 'Ten New Songs' handy. It's one of my favourite albums by anybody.Quote:

Just having a read through hifi news well we can all dream i guess. That gear deff makes mine look very humble indeed. Good thing with hifi news though is the album previews. Can find some right gems.
