:lol: I know! These are Anita's albums, she has always been a big fan since her teens. I put these on for her, just to see her little face light up :) We both slept through most of the second one...Quote:

At the time I was in Britannia Music Club, and each month they had a "Record of the Month". Which they sent to you unless you asked them not to. Well I always missed the deadline, and was too bone idle to return them. I suspect that is how I got the Phil Collins ones, which I don't mind, apart from the fact they never get played.
There'll be a few more records on my shelf that came to me this way.
The opening track on Face Value is "In the Air Tonight" which I knew Anita would like (all women like a bit of Phil) but all she said was "I can't hear this without thinking about that gorilla" :doh:
Me too, I suspect 50% of my mid 80’s collection is because of my laziness... well that’s my excuse for the Brother Beyond album and I’m sticking to it! :lol:Quote:

:eek: I want to be sympathetic, but The Harder I Try, the further away from me it's slipping... because Brother, that's Beyond the pale. I'll get me coat :doh:Quote:

A band which has completely passed me by... how would you describe their music, and is this album a good place to start? That cover artwork is way ahead of its time - that duck's face is a look that young ladies aspire to these days, when posing for their selfies :)Quote:

Of the little that I have heard from Paul McCartney, 'Band on the Run' is the only one that might tempt me.
I do have "Venus and Mars" and used to quite like that. But I bet it's 30 years since I last played it. Also have a best of called "All the Best" which gets occasional play. I like that one. I think he's done some great tunes over the years, just a shame he seems to be widely regarded as a bit of a knob.

Fluke, "Risotto"
Christy Moore - 'Smoke and Strong Whiskey'
https://i.discogs.com/6Bk1Y6xzRkcFg7...4MC5qcGVn.jpeg
You should try pressed to play, I first heard it on a visit to Denmark, my sister-in-law had got it when it was first released in 1986, it got played a lot and I purchased a copy when we got home.Quote:

Label: Atlantic – 588 086
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo
Country: UK

I used to like this when it was first released, but that was 50 years ago! Now it seems a clumsy mess with unsubtle overuse of a screaming organ. :doh:
All of the tracks written by others outside of the group were better performed.
Thanks for the heads up Adrian, I'll be sure to check it out.
Just seen a tidy looking copy on the Bay, so I've put a bid on it. Got 48hrs to run.Quote:

Ebay sniper apps don't even need the bidder to be around to outbid you in the dying couple of seconds of an auction - don't use a sniper myself but certainly lost out to them many a time!Quote:

Groovy :smoking:Quote:

One of My Favourite Bands :guitar: :thumbsup:
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Warner Bros 7599-25727-2 CD
So what do you think of Porno For Pyros? I saw them at Glastonbury (apparently) about 30 years ago, I vaguely remember Perry Farrell telling us they make great pets :)Quote:

To be fair, I've only listened to a small amount of Porno For Pyros and all I can say is that they're not Jane's Addiction!!! The main element that made Jane's addiction what they were (in sound and style) was Dave Navarro and he isn't there in Porno For Pyros; Dave brought the metal, the rock and the funk! Porno For Pyros were a little more psychedelic and less powerful. Jane's Addiction were a breath of fresh as were Love/Hate (another vastly underrated band)!!! :)

I think the meaning of really proper depends on which side of the fence someone sits on in relation to the question of what is meant by really proper. It's subjective so, I guess its :scratch: .......down to the individual :DQuote:

Excellent - probably the most accessible of Zappa's output; no doubt helped by Captain Beefheart's contribution. :)Quote:
