Remembering it from my yoof, I drove a 70 mile round trip to pick up a nice copy, them put it on the shelf and pretty much forgot about it, until now :)
I got my CD secondhand at a market for £2.00 :thumbsup: so cant moan; I still have my original vinyl copy from back in the day and, yes, I agree, it's amazing how some albums get marked etc no matter how well you take care of them !!! Weird isn't it ? :scratch:Quote:

Oh well, this will do, some great stuff on this :) Interesting cover art - I wonder if it was her idea to have all that stuff flying out of her ladyparts?

It's an interesting album - certainly idiosyncratic. It is one of my favourite LPs.Quote:

I thought Alien was crazy when you see the chest buster but, to be honest, I'd never noticed the fact that all those things were coming out of Kate's body - at least she wasn't being destroyed like in Alien !! :lol: All of Kate's albums are interesting, she's unique in every way - I've always liked her from the moment I heard Wuthering Heights and, thank goodness for Dave Gilmour's faith in her !!!Quote:

Just cleaned all my Wishbone has albums, only 13, or 15 records, been modifying my cleaning process and getting some very good results, a 4 step process that takes a while.....

Yeah I'm not too keen on her slightly simian looks. Like she could eat a banana sideways. Couple of points in her favour on "No Secrets" cover though :)Quote:

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS - CORE. GREAT ALBUM FROM EARLY 90's GRUNGE ERA !!!
Yes - without doubt a stunning debut album. :)Quote:

Not sure about the "simian looks", but rest of your post did remind me of the cover of Linda Ronstadt's 'Silk Purse'.Quote:

Got a copy of that somewhere. Only bought it for the one track: 'Bittersweet Symphony', which was used a lot by the BBC at the time.
The video for Bittersweet Symphony mimicked Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" where vocalist Shara Nelson followed the camera on a waik through Los Angeles. A great song and a great video.Quote:

I remember both videos well. Didn't Massive Attack change their name to just Massive for that single as a result of the Gulf war? Never got why they had to.Quote:

They also changed their name, the "The" was added later.

According to Wikipedia, "the band temporarily shortened their name to "Massive" on the advice of [Cameron] McVey [their first manager] to avoid controversy during the Gulf war".Quote:

I agree, I've a fair few of her earlier ones. This is nice, once you get past the first couple of tracks which have a decidedly 80's feel about them...Quote:

I bought this album last year, and I like it a lot - mine is the CD version with the bonus disc, which for once isn't a waste of money :) Bet it sounds even better on vinyl though.Quote:

ULTRAVOX - VIENNA. An absolute firm favourite of mine...................... along with countless others !! :thumbsup:
IMO, it's about the only reaĺly decent album they made.
One of my top 5 albums of all time. It sums up the new romantic movement of the time better than any other album. A perfect album from start to finish.Quote:
