Got me on my feet. Said he felt he was doing his best to cheer up everybody. His new album: Jolly Holiday. Bravo. :)
Hi Steve, I was fortunate enough to see them at Olympia London 3rd January 1976, at the 'Great British Music Festival', On the bill was Charlie, Be Bop Deluxe, Pretty Things, Slim Chance, Nazareth and headlining was Bad Company. All were pretty good, although Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance did not go down that well, a bit too laid back. I seem to remember my hearing suffered for several days after, happy memories. :)
Brain Salad Surgery at is release was not well received by several critics, even so it reached 2 on the UK charts and 11 in USA, and was Gold(100K) in UK and USA(500K). It is probably the most varied of all of ELPs albums, with a mix of heavy rock, flowing jazz and pop songs. Some of the org rock tracks are quite dark and intense taking several listens to get. IMO a bit of a classic for album.
In 2005, Q Classic and Mojo magazines placed Brain Salad Surgery at number 5 on their "40 Cosmic Rock Albums", which was published in the special edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock.[38] In 2015, it was ranked the 12th greatest progressive rock album of all time by Rolling Stone, whose reviewer Will Hermes characterised the record as "prescient and pretty damn rocking"

I've been looking to buy this on vinyl, as I only have it on CD. Love that sleeve art! But the re-issues sold through Amazon have some terrible reviews re. sound quality. Will have to seek out a NM used copy, but they ain't cheap :(Quote:

Picked this one up today in Sidmouth Charity shop. Its rather interesting mainly Funk/Soul with some tongue in check lyrics, an interesting version of Superstition(Stevie W.), Melvin Van Peebles is a multi talented chap, but primarily a film creator, 'Watermelon Man' probably been this most well known film.

Another i came across in the charity shop today, and its NM+/NM+. I know very little about Country Music, turns out Charlie Daniels is famous for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", he was a multi-instrumentalist and played the violin on it. He is obviously a big CW star as Wiki quotes "He was inducted into the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame in 2002, the Grand Ole Opry in 2008, the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009, and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016" His musical associations included Beau Weevils • Marshall Tucker Band • Lynyrd Skynyrd • Bob Dylan • The Youngbloods • Leonard Cohen, so obviously a great musician.
I am always open to listen to listening to something new to me and I have to say that this is rather good, superb musicianship, punchy and crisp, the recording sounds like they just laid it down in the studio and that was it, I would describe it as Country Rock, with the occasional track having a more traditional C/W feel.

He won quite a number of awards from Country Music Association (CMA) and others, he is recognised as having a huge influence on C&W music and popularising it. This record is a mix of him performing popular songs and doing so rather well, he only put 38 album and quite a few singles, many of both made the charts.

Cracking thread this. I think I have owned 90% of the aged Rock discs you guys are picking up.
If you ever go to London, have a pint in the Salisbury Pub in St. Martin's Lane before you catch the Train home. An homage.

The Stones used to drink there. Picture of Marianne Faithfull on the wall, looking wasted but lovely.
I surprised myself today. Picked up "My Fair Lady" the musical for a pound.
Kiri Te Kanawa and, of all people, Jeremy Irons. Oh Lor, Julie Andrews meets Brideshead Revisited. Can't wait! :lol:
My dear old mum's favourite record was "I could have danced all night". So I expect I'll be blubbing by the end.
How did "My Fair Lady" (A London Musical) on Decca turn out?
Bloody Rubbish, IMO. :lol:
Kiri Te, who is a good singer was severely miscast as the Cockney Flower-seller, she failed to convince me she was born within a mile of Bow Bells.
Jeremy Irons hardly attempted to sing. Surprise star of the Show was Warren Mitchell. A proper Cockney.
John Gielgud got a fairly minor and unconvincing Role.
The LSO turned in a decent performance.
Give me Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews any day.
