Not played this for a while. But whenever I do I end up thinking why don't I play it more? Superb really.

Just got this at Windermere record fair. never owned a Little Feat record, know nowt about them, but for 7 quid i thought I'd chance it. Don't know if this is a good/bad/ average example of their work, but I'm liking it.
On Ebay the cheapest copy is over £10 inc. postage, the dearest (VG+) £30. So I'm happy with my almost-as-new one :)
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/yF0AA...-l~/s-l400.jpg
Now this, my other purchase. Is actually Mud Slide Slim and Sweet Baby James put together to make a double. Only a fiver, so that's ok.

You got yourself a bit of bargain there Steve. :) What's the condition like?Quote:

If you or anyone else can recommend another of Little Feat, I'm interested to try some more of their output.

A CHANGE OF STYLE TONIGHT - NOT A MASSIVE FAN OF REGGAE BUT DONT MIND A BIT OF EDDY GRANT. GREATEST HITS ALBUM, WELL WORTH A LISTEN :):)
Only played some of this, not really a fan of their early stuff.
Bit of research shows it to be rare(ish) 3rd press, as the one in this pic. But mine is in much better shape. Mrs. P telling me I should sell it, but I just can't do it.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Fa4AA...oAy/s-l400.jpg
Now onto something I really want to hear. 2015 reissue 180g.

STILL STICKING WITH REGGAE(ISH) THEME BUT MORE ROCK CROSSED WITH REGGAE (AND BITS OF OTHER THINGS).
SUPERB GREATEST HITS ALBUM!!! I ALWAYS PREFERRED THE POLICE'S SINGLES TO THE OTHER STUFF ON THEIR ALBUMS!!
It's coming around again...
https://i.discogs.com/UyNYcwbuVoStHb...Y3LmpwZWc.jpeg
Mrs. P doesn't like many of my records, but this is one of them. Excellent production, and with Carly's voice :)
Used to listen to these guys all the time with my father on his system. Brings back good memories!
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/R7_guZnWxkk/maxresdefault.jpg
Agree - originally I couldn't stand reggae, but I've mellowed with age, so now I love the likes of Bob Marley and The Wailers.Quote:

Good grief Barry, my head hurts! I thought I'd done well pinning it down to being a third press. The info I know of on my copy I have highlighted, I'll have to look again to check the other details.Quote:

I would never have any interest in paying silly money for something just because someone had printed "Made in Clacton" on the label in 8pt. Helvetica instead of 9/10pt Univers or some similar nonsense :eek: but I suppose some people are, and they're out there.
Nothing, especially with her first album, where she makes a couple of very good points :)Quote:

Surely you mean 'No Secrets':Quote:

The cover of her first LP looks like this:

But to be honest, IMO Carly Simon looks sexy on all of the cover artwork.

My original copy was "Blackmore's Rainbow - Rainbow Rising" but I see that all the reissues have been shortened
Thought that I'd better chill a little after that tour de force, and turn the volume down a bit :)

Not familiar with that one, but I do like William Orbit. He knows how to fill your room with bass. Check out 'Spirit' by Caroline Lavelle, you'll see what I mean :)Quote:
