Both great Albums
A couple of very good ones there Martin.
Disc 6
That's the woman whose mum you used to work with isn't it - what's it like?
Production is a bit ropey in places but the songs are strong and I do reckon she's possibly the best female rock vocalist ever.Quote:

I looked her up after you mentioned her in your speaker review - pretty good (though I couldn't find the "Acoustic" album you referenced.)

See what I did there? :lol: Two very different but very good albums.
Quite a bold statement, she'll come at the top of this list? I'll look forward to hearing the new album.Quote:

What's that like? Bit of a curiosity or worth having? Always liked his productions. He was a nut case - which in any other profession would have been a drawback.Quote:

Bryan Adams too. Think I still have the cassette release of 'Waking Up The Neighbours' somewhere.Quote:

Yes, I am the same, several albums I ended up with and never got round to sending back. At least that’s what I tell anyone who takes the piss out of my Five Star albums…Quote:

Shame really, as they would have a lot of interesting titles to choose from. They went out of business a couple of years later.
Five Star had at least one good tune, can't think what it was now though.Quote:

Which you could have picked up for a lot less money at any remaindered/discount book place which were everywhere back then.Quote:
