This Morning, always had a soft spot for Status Quo, first band I saw live at Southampton Top Rank when I was 14 (1972), they were promoting the just released 'Piledriver" album. This album is an OK I'd say most track are 6/10, with the a couple 7.5/10, it was a difficult time then with the punk scene

It is a long time since I have listened to a Rod Stewart album and I was rather surprised just how good this one is, quite rocky, obviously he had a good band at the time on it.

This one reached #1 in the UK album charts in 1973, Gilbert has been massively successful over the years:-
from Discogs "Gilbert has 21 albums and 68 compilations accredited to him. There are also some 124 singles/EPs accredited to him. Of these Gilbert has achieved UK music chart success so far in his career. In total, 11 LPs have charted (Top 100) with four achieving 'Top 10' placings and the album 'Back To Front' hitting the coveted No.1 spot in the UK in January 1973. In all, his LP chart success has gained him over 200 weeks in the UK music charts to date."
For me he always seemed to be the pop star that never quite made it big like Elton John, one thing about Gilbert O'Sulivan he is a very good singer/songwriter in his own right.

Some of you may noticed I am not listening to my normal fare of Rock, Prog and Electronic today, that's because I have been given a small collection of LP's from the 60's & 70's and nearly everyone is in mint condition, very lucky. This particular album is a must if you like Funk/Soul, the Stylistics were a very classy act that produced some beautiful songs and were always well produced, this album has all there classics and hit #1 in the UK in 1975, not surprising really.

On your recommendation I bid on eBay for it, took a chance on a not inspected copy from a 1000+ collection someone was selling. When it turned up it looked very dirty and dusty, so gave it a very good clean, turned out to be nam[emoji2]Quote:

Saw The Ensemble Modern perform this Zappa work in London in the late '90s.

That cover reminds me of Herbie Hancock's 'Fat Albert Rotunda':

Phew! - I'm pleased (and humbled) you took note of my recommendation, but would have been mortified if you had been disappointed. Glad it turned out OK. :)Quote:
