I used to be big fan of The Nice, and have all of their LPs. Not sure why; probably due to Keith Emerson's fascination with combining classical music with rock music, despite Lee Jackson having a feebly weak singing voice.
I followed on with the Emerson's new group: Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Although a much stronger line, up I never really got past their first LP.
The Great Society With Grace Slick - 'Conspicuous Only In Its Absence'

and
GRACE SLICK and The Great Society - 'VOL 2'

Predominantly for the epic Sister Ray
Looks a bit different today. Also it's no longer 'Ocean Boulevard', been renamed to the 'Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway.'Quote:

Well nowt stays the same - When Crosby Stills & Nash recorded their debut album they came across a knackered-looking house with a battered old sofa outside, and thought it would be a great setting for their album cover, so their mate took some photos.
A few days later they decided on their name but realised they were seated in the wrong order on the sofa. So back they went, only to find the house had been demolished. So they were stuck with it. These days the plot is just a car park.
The might have considered just reversing the image, but then Stephen Stills would become a left handed guitarist, and their hair partings would be all wrong.

Every day a school day, never knew that road had been renamed, I have several Jimmy Buffett albums, always enjoyed his music, very clever business man, music, beer and restaurants never came to the UK as far as I know.Quote:

''Give Out But Don’t Give Up ... was met with absolute incredulity. For every powder-fuelled trendy who reckoned they could see what Primal Scream were getting at with this loose, louche trawl through stereotypical rock'n'roll and dodgy Confederacy chic, several more were absolutely heartbroken. I can remember the reactions to "Rocks" among my friends, from mild disappointment through outright mockery to an aghast sense of betrayal. Primal Scream, after all, were the band who had shown the way, who’d seen the error of their indie rock ways and taken plenty of us along with them. Nobody in 1994 much listened to Screamadelica any more, but we all of us owned it. "Bitches keep bitchin'/ Clap keeps an-itchin'" – how could they do this to us?''
I went to the warm up for the tour for this album, hardly anyone there just me and some poxy students who were expecting Screamadelica 2 and didn't get it.
The first of the new arrivals from Rhino.

Never really thought that deeply about this album, but has made me want to play it next and see if I can understand what they were talking about! I also loved "Vanishing Point" and "Echo Dek" so let's see how the evening goes, once I've finished this...Quote:

Their 2nd album, and in a way perhaps similar expectations on it after the hugely successful "Meloday A.M."
Yeah I have those two, and Melody am was always going to be a hard act to follow imo. Not bad tho.Quote:

As for 'Give out but...', I like it enough to play it every now and then, but Screamadelica is much more my thing.
I managed "Give Out" and Vanishing Point, but I'm all screamed out now - will try Echo Dek tomorrow - I can't really recall it. Checking my server I also bought 2008's Beautiful Future, but that I don't remember at all! Will give that a go as well, as I need something a little more mellow to end the day...Quote:

I can't believe this is nearly 30 years old! Seems like only yesterday I bought it!
Sons of Koop - they passed me by, though I do remember Lieutenant Pigeon. And the Dove from Above.
That's a few brain cells wasted then! :doh:Quote:
