Two excellent choices there Dom :) I woke this morning with "The Boston Rag" going through my head, so I'll have to do something about that.Quote:

Mine is top notch, and for the price is a bargain, as it’s Amazon if no good just send back for refundQuote:

Otherwise the only Dan record I need is the last one with the late Walter Becker.

Of all the "Classic Line-Up" albums, I always felt this one was weak but, having now listened to this new 40th Anniversary remastered 2CD version, I have to say that it seems a lot better!! It'll never beat all the previous albums but suffice to say, I like it a lot more after listening to this. The quality of the live recording isn't very good but still listenable. I always loved Motorhead from the first time I ever heard em - shame the "Classic Line-Up" fractured :-( Great nostalgia trip!!!!
Hi Dom, not a band I have come across before, see it USA Blues-Rock, seems it is quite liked, can you recommend taking a punt on it, I see it has been re-release recently?Quote:

This the duo’s 1995 debut album includes some backing vocals by Pop Idol judge and former Linx member David Grant. The album spent 175 weeks on the UK album charts and went six times Platinum, there were five singles from the album with Lifted being the most played track on national radio in the first quarter of 1996 despite only reaching number 4 on the UK singles chart. I had tickets to see them at the MEN Arena which was cancelled when the duo split in 2003.

Last this morning we close with vinyl and this 1981 album from this British progressive rock band. A concept album, it is based on a true story of a Japanese soldier (Hiroo Onoda) marooned on an island during the Second World War who does not realise that the war is over. The title derives from his family name, 'Onoda'. The album mainly comprises instrumentals; only a few tracks contain lyrics. The lyrics were mainly written by Susan Hoover, except those for "Please Come Home", which were written by Andrew Latimer. It is the last Camel album to date to feature original drummer Andy Ward, and the last to feature more than one original member.

Even so, IMO neither are as good as 'Amused to Death' - itself considered to be "The Final Cut, Part 2".
Totally agree, I saw him in Orlando in 1993, by pure chance, he was doing a promotional gig for the album I Was Warned at the Plaza Live and the tickets were free ! I was in a record store in downtown Orlando, when I went to pay for the handful of cheap cd’s that I hadn’t seen at home, I was offered the tickets for the following night. I loved America when things just took you by surprise !Quote:

So this morning we kick off with an album that once past the rather grunge first track “Maybe Angels”, it just keeps drawing you in.
This is her second studio album released in 1996 and unlike its predecessor “Tuesday Night Music Club”, which was written by a casual collective formed by Crow and several other musicians, “Sheryl Crow” was entirely produced by Crow, who wrote most of the songs alone or with only one or two collaborators. Most of the album was recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans, Louisiana. The album covers topics of American life, relationship breakups, and moral and ethical issues, while encompassing a variety of music genres such as rock, blues, alternative rock, country, and folk.

Last up and as usual vinyl and this original release pressing of this 1983 album, their eleventh studio album.
Named for its Atco catalogue number, 90125, was a departure from what fans were used to. After Yes disbanded in 1981, following the Drama (1980) tour, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White and Trevor Rabin (guitarist, singer, songwriter) formed Cinema, and began recording an album with original Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye, who had been fired in 1971. They adopted a more commercial and pop-oriented musical direction as the result of their new material, much of which derived from Rabin's demos. During the mixing stage, former Yes singer Jon Anderson, who had left in 1980, accepted an invitation to return and record the co-lead vocals, and subsequently Cinema became the new lineup of Yes.
In December 1980, the Yes line-up of bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, singer Trevor Horn, and keyboardist Geoff Downes, completed their 1980 tour in support of the band's tenth album, Drama. While the North American leg was largely successful, the subsequent UK leg received a mixed reaction feedback from the fans, many of whom were unaccepting of Horn and Downes as they had replaced Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman respectively. The group disbanded in early 1981; Horn became a record producer, Howe and Downes co-formed the supergroup Asia, and Squire and White remained together and continued to write material, including their 1981 Christmas single "Run with the Fox". Later in 1981, the two entered sessions with Jimmy Page with the aim of forming a new band named XYZ, but the project was shelved over management differences and singer Robert Plant's disliking of the material. According to White, some ideas that the three had rehearsed ended up on 90125.
