Good album, I was playing this last week. But my favourite is Billion Dollar Babies (I know I've said it before). Those two albums were released only about 18 months or so apart, using the same producer (Bob Ezrin), but huge improvement in SQ - I'll be buying the 50th Anniversary CD set shortly, and you can have my old copy.Quote:

I have to admit, I love the album cover, it kinda sets the tone for what's inside on the recording :) As for the album, No, I checked his website and couldn't see anything but, apparently he's done a film documentary about being on the road going across america; its on Amazon prime I think and it's called American Mileage - i'd be interested to watch that but I ain't got Amazon Prime (for me, there are toooooo many streaming channels now - it gets a bit rediculous).Quote:

If you like the blues and can accept it being fused with a little bit of other things then I think you'll like this. As I've already said, considering he's a busker and plays all the instruments at the same time, he kicks out a seriously great vibe!!!!!!
So do I! He sounds like an interesting guy.Quote:

A great bit of 60's Prog Rock !!!!
I think the 70's was a totally brilliant decade....................... especially for music.................. in fact one of the best. :) I don't know whether I'd class it as misunderstood, I'd class it as bold, brash and in ya face!!! :lol: I don't know about that record you've listed as I've never heard it :thumbsup:Quote:

Always been a fan of David Hepworth’s writing have a couple of his books. I have attached the back cover for the track listings, he has also included his personal comments on each song, many of which I have in my collection.

There are some great tracks there. Fortunately I have many of them on other LPs and CDs.Quote:

Lots of good tracks, the CD version is actually 71 songs. most of my music is from the 70’s and 80’s, the 50’s before I was interested only started buying records in the 60’s.Quote:

A very hard question to answer; I'd probably agree with what you've said. The 40's didn't interest me, (well before my time) the 50's (again, before my time) were really the start of rock n roll and some of the music is listenable but, come the 60's (the era of my birth) things started developing big style and the 70's, well, they were supersonic for "music" and the 80's were pretty much the same. The 90's had some great music and music movements and as it came towards the end of that decade, things were starting to go downhill; the only thing that really caught my attention and, I did really like as we moved into the noughties was the Nu-Metal movement and the Desert Rock/Stoner Rock movement - some great music and bands there!! As the noughties moved on, we had fkn sh1t things like "pop "talent" shows and then the absolute DROSS of the procession of sickly teeny pop "stars" and music made by accountants for corporate giants :steam::steam:Quote:

I wouldn't pay it for the Stones, I didn't do it for Black Sabbath's last gig so I wont do it for Oasis. :nono: :nono: Fk THE PROMOTERS GREED!!!!
I think there are 'gems' from every era of music, but 1968 to 1978 certainly ticks a lot of my boxes.

Blur - 1997 - Blur. I'm not a big fan of Blur but, in the late 90's they did 2 albums where they changed their style and were more experimental - A LOT, LOT BETTER!!! :thumbsup: This is a really good album by Blur :thumbsup:
Somebody recently mentioned Graham Coxon (probably Macca), so thought I would give this a go. Bought a couple of years ago then ignored until now. Not bad so far...

Another band talked about recently. Not a big fan of Britpop, but this one is proper.
