Saw them live at Southampton Uni Student Union when I was 17 in Jan 1976. Stage was 2ft tall and I and my mates were about 6 foot away from Sonja, magic memory, a great band.Quote:

It's just the one I'm streaming off of Qobuz. That's the image they used. It is quite the quality live recording though.Quote:

Yes mine too, which I assume to be the original as I have had it forever. I don't know why they would feel the need to change what imo was a much better sleeve.Quote:

Much better! In fact it was 'After the Gold Rush' that caused me to have a complete volte face with Neil Young. Before, I couldn't stand what I regarded as his weak and weedy-sounding voice, but for some unexplained reason all that changed "after the gold rush". :scratch:
Still don't like his 'grunge' period.

not keen on a lot of his stuff but love a lot too.. a black and white affair with his music..Quote:

2002 ABKO SACD hybrid re-master.
Whoopee turned up yesterday, pre-ordered back in May.
Hallucinogen (Simon Posford)
This is a lovely re-release of 'Twisted' and 'The Lone Deranger' albums, on 180gm vinyl, in a lovely pack, I believe a limited run of 1800, I have 1425
Wiki "His(Simon Posford) first studio album, Twisted, released in 1995, is considered one of the most influential albums in the genre. In particular, the first track, "LSD", which remains the defining sound of Goa trance to this day."
Simon Posford went onto to be a founding member of Younger Brother and Shpongle, and has collaborated with many more.

Me too!... Bloody awsome stuff.
The sound is truly magnificent.
It really does include LSD. LOL

I am late to the table with this, Shpongle, Younger Brother, Ott and a few others but really enjoying it. If I was younger I think I would be off to the Shankar festival in Sri Lanka next year for some vibes. https://shankrafestival.org/sri-lanka maybe a AoS holiday trip? :eek::lol:Quote:

Some great songs on this !!!
First up we dive into the soul and R&B of the "naughties" with this debut album from 1991. Five singles Crazy, Future Love Paradise, The Beginning, Killer and Violet plus the sublime Whirlpool although not released as a single it is for me the standout track of the album showing just how great Seals voice is; reaching number 1 in the UK and selling double Platinum and Platinum in the US. Produced by the legendary Trevor Horn and on his famous ZTT label with string arrangements by the prolificly talented Anne Dudley (Art of Noise member and Oscar winner for the original score for the Full Monty. Other notable film scores: Buster, The Pope Must Die, Crying Game, Pushing Tin, Tristan & Isolade, Les Miserables plus many TV scores including Jeeves and Wooster, Kavanagh QC, Poldark, The Inspector Allen Mysteries etc,.)

Next up and the album that really put this British Prog Rock band firmly on the World stage. Thier tenth studio album and first to reach number one in the UK, giving us two UK singkes Turn it on Again and Duchess plus Misunderstanding in the US. More notably, however, is not the Platinum album sales in the UK and US but the fact this would be the last tour where dates were theatre venues as the next tour would not just be arena's but multiple dates at the same venue. Firmly establishing them as a major live band and of course starting the journey for Phil Collins to be one of only three artists to sell over 100 million albums as a band member and a solo artist along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...437f1352a9.jpg

Last up this classic album from 1968 by an artist whose interpretation of these songs makes them some of the great cover versions of all time. Whether it's his Grammy winning vocal on the Doors - Light My Fire or the sublime versions of the Gerry Marsden - Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying and the Beatles classic- Here There And Everywhere. Produced by Rick Jarrard and accompanied by some legendary musicians including Ray Brown, Milt Holland, Jim Horn and arranger George Tipton.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7d7d8edbea.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e8c29781c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...61f5c6bf2c.jpg

One of the best record covers ever. Elton's best album imo, with Yellow Brick Road coming a close second.
