Erykah Badu: 'World Wide Underground'

I have a CD of hers, bought because it looked interesting. Having played the once, I still have to make up my mind if I like it or not.

As a person Erykah Badu has some 'interesting' views on identity.

I like it, so will likely buy the CD , as £35 + p&p, for the vinyl, is a bit steep.

I agree the price s a bit steep even though its a double album

Cream - 'Disraeli Gears'

I love the Malapropism of the title.

strange band, I think their studio albums are really patchy but they were killer live.

[Barry]

I'm inclined to agree, they are patchy so one has to be selective. On this double LP the live performance is better than the studio recording: the oddities are those of Ginger Baker.

Cream - 'Wheels of Fire'

[Barry]

My favourite Cream LP is their debut album:

Cream - 'Fresh Cream'

[Barry]

Back to Erykah Badu, just played this:

Erykah Badu - 'Erykah Badu Live'

but only find it 'so so'. Fortunately it only cost £1 from a charity shop. I'll hang on to it, as it might grow on me.

Cream - 'Wheels of Fire'

I have this one, but it is just the studio one. It's ok, but not played it in years. Take your point about Ginger Baker: my mate used to say that it often sounded like he was drumming to a different song to the one the band was playing.
