His first: 'Truth' (with Rod Stewart on vocals), followed by his second 'Beckola'.Quote:

the jon spencer Blues Explosion - Orange
A great recording :)
I have played the album many times in the past 45 years since it was released (gulp!) but not watched the film for a very long time, will have to see if I can stream it or if I have to dig through the DVDs in the loft!

Just been googling as you do, on who played the sax on this album - awesome on several tracks but especially "Will You?" - it was a chap called Wesley Magoogan (great name!) Seems he played with some other greats, but it ended badly...
"Cruelly, after he later played with the Beat and Joan Armatrading, Magoogan’s magic fingers were injured in an accident with a circular saw, a harsh fate for someone whose most famous moment moved people around the world to tears." Apparently, chopped off all the fingers on one hand! :eek:
...And of course Hazel herself is still recovering from a brain hemorrhage in 2022...
Wow, nightmare !Quote:

I went to the June 1996 Quadrophenia live in Hyde Park concert. One of the best gigs I have ever been to. From Wikipedia, I don't remember half of this! "The performance also included Gary Glitter as the Godfather, Phil Daniels as the Narrator and Jimmy, Trevor MacDonald as the newsreader, Adrian Edmondson as the Bell Boy and Stephen Fry as the hotel manager. The musical lineup included Townshend's brother Simon, Zak Starkey on drums (his first appearance with the Who), guitarists David Gilmour (who played the bus driver) and Geoff Whitehorn, keyboardists John "Rabbit" Bundrick and Jon Carin, percussionist Jody Linscott, Billy Nicholls leading a two-man/two-woman backing vocal section, and five brass players. During rehearsals, Daltrey was struck in the face by Glitter's microphone stand, and performed the concert wearing an eyepatch."

Ramones are definitely a better Live than Studio band.
One of my favourite LPs! Seen the film a couple of times, but the album alone stands up well.Quote:

I didn't know Hazel O'Connor had suffered a brain haemorrhage. Really sad to have learned that.
Well yes, fortunately I tend to post when I get in to my office in the morning, what I listened to the night before...Quote:

Every time “Don’t Marry Her” starts on the radio I really hope they accidentally play the album version but they never do!
Think I have that CD, despite the awfully 'twee' cover. ;)Quote:
