Me too. That started with her "Deconstruction" period, when she was trying to be a bit more serious. I quite liked the song she did with Nick Cave too.Quote:

My latest Crimson acquisition, another minter off Ebay, I like these 80s EG editions.

My copy has the two "robot' hands shaking each other. Still one of my least favourite Pink Floyd albums.Quote:

To me, I think Kylie is one of those artists who is more of a "Great Singles Artist" than a "Great Album Artist," somewhat like The Police.Quote:

I agree. About The Police too. After streaming the whole of "Tension" earlier, I might not be wanting Kylie to hand-deliver it after all. But she's welcome to pop round anyway for a brew. I'll just need some notice so I can run round with the hoover and get some Jaffa Cakes in :)Quote:

As usual we finish with vinyl and continuing the 70's theme we have this 1979 album their fifth studio album and featuring their third lead singer ! Journey fans "me included" might recognise the drumming by the superb Aynsley Dunbar he had left Journey the previous year.
The most recognised track is undoubtedly, Jane, which was released as a single but has also featured in many films as well as the video game Grand Theft Auto.

The last proper INXS album, and done without original singer Michael Huchence after his untimely death; I have to say, I do like this album very much and, if it were done with Michael Huchence, it would have been even better. To be fair, the singer who replaced Michael Huchence for the one and only album was actually OK - it's a shame he turned into a bit of an idiot as time went on!!!!
I saw INXS with the new singer but, it just wasn't the same; it's such a shame for INXS that it had to end in such a sad way - they were an absolutely FANTASTIC band and their music was BRILLIANT!!!!

Ace Of Spades - The last real album from the classic Motorhead line-up.
Although Iron Fist was technically the last album, from what I gather, Eddie Clarke had helped to pen the new songs but, due to differences over the production of the album had since left and was replaced with Brian Robertson (ex Thin Lizzy) who finished off that project with the rest of the band so, Ace Of Spades was the last real full album done by the Classic line-up.
Stones - Exile on Main st. Was gonna sell this as 'I never play it', got the CD, but that sounded a bit shit, so played the whole LP, and remembered I loved it, for keeps.

Yes it's a good album - probably the last decent LP from the Stones.Quote:

What a gross cover, long haired, hairy chested men all standing close together, what on earth were they thinking?Quote:

Out of curiosity - I will give up in a minute or two. Thirty minutes is around as much as I can stand.

The same location, yesterday (well maybe not quite). Corner of 79th Street & 5th Avenue, Manhattan.

I guess it wasn't the band's idea of artistic direction because the album is absolutely SUPERB !!!!Quote:

My CD copy has the first cover, my vinyl has the second. Although a friend has vinyl with the first image as the cover - Which I think he got when it first came out.
So no idea which was the original.
Edit - the answer is
In 1974, the album was issued in Europe via Germany under the title Rock the Nation. This release duplicated the track listing of the U.S. album, but had a different front sleeve image, replacing the band's photo with that of a large-busted blonde girl sporting a pink see-through blouse.
IMO both covers are pretty uninspiring.
The important thing is whether you like the music contained therein. Must admit I hadn't heard of Montrose (the group obviously!).
