(Coincidentally, both the Bill Withers and Ike & Tina Turner albums feature a cover of "Let it Be" by The Beatles.)
1971 really was a great year for music!
Couple of gems there :thumbsup:Quote:

Just noticed your signature, Mike - I think some Eels might be getting played later - and that's their best track ever, IMHO!
I'd like to put a :thumbs-up emoji to that Alex but the forum won't let me.Quote:

Goodness knows why RLJ chose to release a 10" EP. Maybe it was for contractual reasons, but it is a bugger to find as it it gets pushed to the back, between her 12" LPs, so the spine cannot be easily read. :doh:
I have to say, I have her Greatest Hits album and some of the singles on it are absolutely fabulous - they've got a rock vibe to them and I love em!! :thumbsup: "Leave A Light On For Me" just rocks!!! :thumbsup: Also "We Want The Same Thing" is an awesome tune!!! I could go on but I wont - suffice to say, she's done some great songs and has a great voice!! :thumbsup:Quote:

It wasn't a single, but "Nobody Owns Me" on Heaven On Earth absolutely rocks! Probably my favourite track of hers. :)Quote:

50% of Yazoo, or about 70% by volume. She's shed a few pounds since then, but I don't know what she sounds like these days. Great voice though.

I saw them at UEA Norwich in the early 90's - they were amazing, but I couldn't hear a thing for about a week afterwards!Quote:
