What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[westhuller]

Present from the wife Elbow ... The Seldom Seen Kid 2 X 45rpm 180grm vinyl, sonically one of the best pressings I've ever heard.

[Futtocks]

Richard Hawley's a name I keep hearing, but never got round to checking out 'til now. This is a slow, relaxing song of lasting love. I quite like it.

Excellent choice TWIG.

 

Sad to see they're all no longer with us except for Woody Woodmansey.

[Futtocks]

Memory's an odd thing. My sister bought this single in 1983, with that same orange and black cover, and I hadn't thought of the band's name since then.

 

It's actually a rather enjoyable, bouncy Afropop-inspired song whose Top 20 UK chart success was ahead of its time. But then, they were managed by seasoned trendspotter Malcolm McLaren (surprise surprise). Paul Simon's 'Graceland' came out three years later.

Jailbreak

[Futtocks]

Jailbreak

Thin Lizzy? "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak/somewhere in this town".

 

Somewhere in this town... just possibly at the jail.

 

But I'm just making a wild guess.

A great live show.... The first gig I took the memsahib to in 1978 on the black rose tour.

Steve Earle and The Dukes ..... Shut Up and Die Like An Aviator

[westhuller]

Wilson Pickett .... Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You

[Robin Evans]

Transformer and rock n roll animal

[westhuller]

Steve Earle, F the CC, I met him after a show at the York Opera House, I was totally awe struck he'd been a musical hero since my teens, he was a true gent, humble and funny. The show was a stormer no warm up act three hours I will never forget.

Just treat myself to a new Avid Pellar phono stage so to virtually everything again in my collection, it's not run in yet but wow the level of detail from records I've listened too for 30 years is beyond anything I've heard before

Nothing quite like this bunch, especially on the 'Stop Making Sense' film.

Great minds ..........  I was listening to Fear of Music and Remain in Light about 2 days ago.

Whilst I respect simon kirke as a drummer and value his impact on the music of my youth, I found Buffin to be the better drummer and anyone who has seen MTH & BC will acknowledge that Buffin never tried to hog the limelight like kirk did. He just got on with the job of keeping perfect time with Pete Watts.

I would have much preferred to have seen Buffin in Bad Company.
