I always felt Bow Wow Wow were another band of the time that used the tribal beat influence but never reached the dizzy heights of fame like Adam & The Antz did with the same formula.Quote:

Well done - especially as you provided the correct answer without resorting to 'shouting'.Quote:

Several of my fellow music lovers rate this LP highly. So just me then - and yes, I do have copy! :scratch:

Ha - not heard that in years, I do regularly look around for a decent copy (which I would want to include all the gubbins that it was sold with), but no luck so far.Quote:

I don't think I have to shout about this one, you only have to play it and it just speaks for itself !! :)Quote:

You could be right Adrian, I'll stick it on my RCM, (if I ever get round to buying one :doh:) Though I do suspect it's my failing hearing that's mostly to blame. You will of course be aware of all the low-level HF detail in those grooves, details I remember well but no longer hear. They were an important part of the sound :(Quote:

That looks interesting. I take it that the artists cited are performing various works by Gershwin, but I didn't know Gershwin had written songs.Quote:

Edit: Wow, what a recording! Hard to believe there's only 24 months between this and Love It To Death...
Pink Floyd - 'Wish You Were Here'
Here's a bit of a mystery: I was playing Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Babies" earlier, and when the track "Elected" began, there was a one-second very noticeable change of pitch. Reminiscent of the kind of 'wow' you might have got sometimes in the olden days of record autochangers when the playing record might slide over the one underneath.
If it had been vinyl I was playing I would be worried about my t/t, but this is a CD - how is this possible? I tried a stream of the track to make double sure, and the anomaly isn't there.
Adrian, if you're reading this, I know you are well familiar with this album, and I will try to record this issue tomorrow and WhatsApp it to you, see what you think.

worst name for a band ever but I think this LP has stood the test of time.
Boz Scaggs... this was one of my vinyl copies.. its pretty good and imo the equal of the vinyl and cds. i didnt do too much work on it either... probably could have polished it a bit more.

A very different sounding album by Kylie; not my usual thing by any means of the imagination as a lot of you will know but, I was quite surprised by it and found it easy listening.
I do love the four seasons, one of my fave tracks is 'The Night'.Quote:
