He's good is old Hugh. Might look out for some more of his I've only got the one. Going record shopping tomorrow anyway as I've got a £60 HMV voucher.Quote:

"Hope" is a good one, a live recording from about 20 years ago. Was a favourite at hifi shows at the time, due to the top notch sq. Though they only ever played the 'Stimela' track. You've next to no "hope" of getting a copy cheap, so if you see it snap it up. I got mine on vinyl back in the days when I had money.Quote:

Lucky Dragons - Dark Falcon
My guilty secret Album.
21 tracks over 35 minutes... :scratch: I shall give that a go after I have finished this - an album I don't even remember buying...

OK, so it's very interesting, and playing on Tidal the sound quality and production is amazing. I will definitely listen to it again, although not sure why! Hypnotic, perhaps? But we need to know what the guilty secret is, Mike - was it you letting off the fireworks? :)Quote:

It doesn't happen very often but I did discover a new band I like this week thanks to Mr Idle's contributions.Quote:

That's great Macca, nice to hear that. Makes posting all the sh1t that I do worthwhile :lol:Quote:

Great choice. They played 'Movin' on up' on the radio Thursday morning, and I thought yeah, I should play Screamadelica when I get home, then forgot... going on now :)Quote:

Surprisingly good, it won't be another 2 years before it gets played again.

First time I've played it in years and years. I heard 'Movin on up' on the telly last week, think it was on a commercial, and that was what poked me to put it on.Quote:

Walker Texas Ranger? That's the thing with Chuck Norris isn't it? The log with a beard? I lump him in with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagall, no good at acting, but handy in a scrap...Quote:

Thanks Guys - I dug them out in response to Alex's interest in hearing something by Zappa (apart from Hot Rats, which I also played, but didn't list).
I have inherited a lot of Zappa from a good friend of mine who sadly died. All in all I have about 35 titles, some of which I have yet to hear.
Forty years old next month - 17th May to be exact. I was doing my 'O' Levels.
