I loved Walter Becker's contribution to Steely Dan with his ironic lyrics and vocal style. This is a great album IMO and very well used.

I heard a BBC radio 2 interview with this chap yesterday, he came across as a lovely un-assuming sincere man. If you don't know who he is then you probably should, several Billboard Top Ten hits, including his #1 multi‑platinum smash “Escape” aka “The Pina Colada Song”. This is insignificant to his other achievements in music, writing, theatre, film and TV. he certainly knows how to pen a song, lyrically and musically.
Have a read of his bloghttps://www.rupertholmes.com/about/,

I recently posted I had this LP and liked it (or thought I did). I hadn't played it in ages, so I though I ought to listen to it again.
Hmmm - sounds very dated now; a typical effort by a rocker who wants to gain kudos by dabbling with classical idioms. In this case some of them are not original, and in no way sum up the character of each of the six wives. 5/10 from me (with a possible charity shop donation in mind).
After seeing this I streamed it to see what it's like - the result being that I now have it on order (vinyl) with the last of my vouchers.Quote:

:lol: Dated and pretentious yes. It actually wasn't as bad as I'd remembered. I might have to rev myself up a bit before giving 'Journey to the centre of the earth' another go though....Quote:

Ruddy hell is that how much they charge now? My local charity shop has a load of Mantovani and Hundred Best Tunes for 99p each. I'm sure I saw some Mrs Mills and Beatles Go Bossa in there too. Must check the Discogs values, it could be a potential goldmine.Quote:

First day back and rather than stream Spotify I chucked this CD on in the jalopy on the way to work.
This is my original CD before the reissue with extra tracks and like a few other similar doubles it lives in the motor.
Possibly my most listened to Hawkwind album and I think the only one that I didn't buy on vinyl back in the 1980's when I first got into HW - must look to change that someday ;)

Bibio - Phantom Brickworks
https://img.discogs.com/QGs9DeZkwFLR...-4101.jpeg.jpg
so remember listening to that when it was released.. my mates dad had an early "Hi-Fi" as opposed to a stereogram. Japanese Nikko? I think.. sounded the dogs bollocks when they were out and we could wind it up.. :DQuote:

Do people really play "Green Fluorescent" vinyl? I'm sure all of my cartridges would just refuse to track such anomalies. :D
Apparently they have higher compliance cartridges than yours.! [emoji12]Quote:

[emoji23][emoji23] That could be very frustrating when you really want to play certain coloured vinyl LPs.!Quote:
