I think most likely Barry doesn't like a woman with a weapon in her lap. But I had never noticed how grubby she is before you pointed it out! Or the possibility of an extra leg! But glad you enjoyed the music!Quote:

Edit: I thought I'd give it a play, but the bloody thing's vanished :( Trouble with alphabetical filing, if it goes in the wrong place you're screwed.
So this one next:

That isn't dirt, they are tattoos - thought it might be the design on her tights but you can see it carries on to her knee, past where her tights end.Quote:

You did put me onto that Caroline Lavelle album before, I think - I said I had never heard of her then realised she sings on some tracks by Sleepthief - an artist I love!Quote:

The image is not clear enough for me to see one way or the other. Anyway aren't tights designed to cover the feet, go up the legs and end at the waist? Are there tights which have a pattern on the lower legs only and stopping at the knees?
Being a bit of an obsessive, I 'Googled' it, and all reviews of 'Boys for Pele' state that it is dirt on her legs on the cover photograph. The image is supposed to show Tori Amos as a 'dust bowl' period farmer; however to be accurate it should be a shotgun on her lap and not a rifle with a telescopic sight.
I agree it's dirt - if you look at the Amazon listing it zooms in - I think she is wearing tights covered in mud. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boys-Pele-D.../dp/B01LYV9CQP
You're right, muddy tights.Quote:

I don't know of that one. Is it one of Beefheart later recordings?Quote:

Danish band, and difficult to describe - a bit nuts!
Last one of the space theme.

Funny that my daughter is going to see him live, she found it amazing that I had this album from when she was only 2! I think she was surprised I even knew who he was!
It is. I think it was his 10th or 11th Album, c.1980.Quote:

An awesome Album. I much prefer this to the 'final' version.
Big Audio Dynamite - Megatop Phoenix (1989)

I bought this originally on vinyl, but I can't remember the last time I played it - just found on Tidal and had forgotten that for it's day, it was actually quite groundbreaking.
Great Album.Quote:

I think this is their best but their first 4 are excellent and the rest are pretty decent, too.Quote:

'70s French copy of The Stooges 'Fun House'.
Although a lot of punk is known for being lo-fi, some of its earlier examples were very well produced. The sound on Fun House is vividly alive.

Sleeping Through The War
This is quality. One of the best albums I've bought in recent years.

All Them Witches - Nothing As The Ideal
Yep, you guessed it -
https://audioabattoir.s3.dualstack.e...171bce014.jpeg
All Them Witches - Live on the Internet
I got into All Them Witches with Nothing As The Ideal. Blown away. I reckon that if we were back in the '70s they'd be huge. I guess it's a sign of how rock music is no longer so significant that they struggle to reach the fringes of the album charts here or in the US.
