So first up is the 1977 follow up to the career changing album 2112. The band deciding for the first time to record outside of Toronto and Canada settling on Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire, Wales founded in 1963 (by brothers Kingsley and Charles Ward) although it wasn't until the seventies that it would host a roster of now famous groups and artists including Joan Armatrading, Black Sabbath, Dave Edmunds, Dr Feelgood, Judas Priest, Hawkwind, Mike Oldfield, Queen, Van der Graph Generator et al. The album took 3 weeks to record and was to see the bands musicianship pushed to new heights, particularly Geddy Lee's bass playing, setting each of them on course to becoming some of the most influential and inspiring muscians of the 20th century. This version is the 40th Anniversary Reissue which is remastered and in a different league to the Mercury original CD release which is very hard and cold sounding by comparison.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a5aeea53c5.jpg

A complete change, so next up this awsome third album from this American singer, pianist and songwritter. Her limited success in the early 80's was to change in the late 80's following her contributions to Tears for Fears International chart topping album Seeds of Love. This 1991 album Produced by Roland Orzabal (Tears for Fears) and Dave Bascombe was to top the UK charts and the enduring single Circle of One and more laterly the album track Get Here have become firm radio favourites. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3542712904.jpg

Last we finish with vinyl and this original release pressing from 1981. Featuring the now iconic track Start Me Up which reached number 2 on the US Billboard chart. Produced by the Glimmer Twins (Jagger and Richards) and featuring a host of famous guest muscians including original Stones founding member Ian Stewart along with Billy Preston, Pete Townshend, Sonny Rollins, Michael Carabello, etc. We should also mention the who's who of technical collaboration, Glyn Johns, Andy Johns, Keith Harwood, Bob Clearmountain and Bob Ludwig et al.
The album sales only went Gold in the UK and most other territories except 2 x Platinum in Australia and 4 x Platinum in Canada and the US !

Yes, I have this one too - a very decent reissue of this, probably my favourite Zep album :)Quote:

Cheers Loz, the bands we saw last weekend re-ignited my interest in Rock, (though not to the exclusion of everything else). And it's the one genre me and Anita are both agreed on :)Quote:

So now I have one heading my way from Music Magpie, who may now be the only seller I bother with!
Yep it's Zep...

Got this for a couple of quid, and the vinyl is like new, so it would be rude not to... This is the only Tull album I own, and I'm quite liking it, but I'm betting it's nowhere near their best... any recommendations? I'm thinking maybe Thick as a Brick, Aqualung, or one I heard many years ago where one track ended iirc with someone apparently jumping off a tall building :scratch:
used to have a few jethro albums back in day... not that one tho..stormwatch i thinkQuote:

And yes, Led Zeppelin were one of the greatest rock bands to ever take to the stage; better musically than most others (even The Stones or The Beatles) !!!!!
Funny how the mind works when moving from one record to another. I'm sure there will be logic in there somewhere.

Sgt Bilko was hugely popular in its day - humour a bit too American for me, like that I Love Lucy thing.Quote:

Ultravox - Rage In Eden. I cannot express how good I think the first 4 Albums by Ultravox (with Midge Ure) are!!! SUBLIME!!!
Playing this album (ripped from my CD in FLAC) via the Pi-DAC Streamer through to my Pioneer AV amp - sounds great !!! :thumbsup:
Would definitely recommend 'Aqualung' and 'Thick as a Brick'.Quote:

Having said that, I quite like 'Songs from the Wood' (1977).
that was the 2 i had. felt they went a bit downhill after.Quote:

I always liked the look of the "Thick as a Brick" album sleeve (John & Yoko's "Some Time in New York City" similarly appealed, though I did resist it as I did eventually hear it and thought it was a bit cack).
"Thick as..." will go on my Christmas wish list, along with albums from King Crimson, Blind Faith, also Waka/Jawaka, all of which passed me by first time around.
Still my favourite Genesis live album and takes me back to the first time I saw them live in the late 70's. I knew the "old" songs (The Cage, I Know What I Like, Suppers Ready et al) with Collins vocals before I really knew the Gabriel versions.

So first up, this soundtrack album from 1980, with one of my all time favourite ballads and a singer who totally blew me away live. When touring the songs from the film her support act were some guys called Duran Duran not sure if they ever amounted to much ! [emoji16] Great saxophone solo on Will You by Wesley Magoogan, the album stayed in the chart for 38 weeks with the singles Will You and Eighth Day both making the top 10.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b681ebccb8.jpg

You know, I'd always assumed the saxophone was done by Roxy Music's Andy Mackay, I've no idea where I got that from :doh: Great song though, I remember it well - reminds me of good times spent in the far north of Scotland at the time of its release :)Quote:
