Another classic band from the 70's - 10cc !! I feel the same about these as I do about The Police, they're more of a singles band as I never found the interest in their album tracks as I did with the singles. :thumbsup:
Another classic and essential part of a record collection! :)Quote:

Information concerning the cover artwork is printed on the back of the cover.Quote:

1973, just before the Buckingham/Nicks period. I've had this for ages, but yet to pick up 'Penguin' and 'Heroes are hard to find' that come before and after.Quote:

Another new arrival

Sparks meets Giorgio Moroder!! Just BRILLIANT !!!!
I see on Amazon there are two versions of this - a 1 disc album, and an "Amazon exclusive" half speed master 2 LP set, same number of tracks. Described as "180g black bio vinyl". Not sure what bio vinyl is, maybe it's plant-based. Like Quorn sausages.Quote:

No I don't think it's exclusive to Amazon either. On Ebay it is available from several other sellers. So what do you think Mike? Is it a good 'un?

A cracking debut Album
Based on first play, I think it will grow into a very good Album Steve, maybe not a Cure classic but still well worth owning. This half speed master really has superb SQ / mastering too. I can't vouch for other versionsQuote:

The Fall's music at the time was described as "Mancabilly", and by Smith himself as "Country 'n' Northern".
The cover certainly gives off a Mancabilly vibe. I will have to give it a spin.

''Factory founder Tony Wilson visited the band, fearing they would have spent the entirety of recording partying instead of working. Upon hearing a version of "Bob's Yer Uncle", he exclaimed that the band's next release would be "one of the great British albums of the age". ''
Thanks Barry...
