Peter,

Thanks for correcting me, I thought W&W was Peter Gabriel's last album.


ROTF

I will let you know what I think when I get the albums.


As for Duke its difficult to pronounce a proper judgement because of the terrible recording other than I enjoyed it. Though the longer proggier tracks (I made up a word ) are the better ones, though I can see the ballads grating with some listeners. I only payed £4.50 for it so I might search out a better sounding copy. It will be interesting to contrast this album with the earlier ones to see where Genesis have come from creatively.


Now Yes' Close To The Edge is a fantastic Album and now that I have three of their albums and they are all good I wonder where the vehement criticism that I have heard over the years has come from.

Not from me, as I said if you admit to liking Yes then Yours Is No Disgrace.

My goodness Geoff but that's alot of vinyl to be sticking in your car boot from a single visitation! I wouldn't know where to begin listening to that mountain - actually not quite true - what do you make of the Holly Cole album? I've noticed it in Grahams a few times but shied away from purchasing it through lack of knowledge.

Peter...Her albums are always excellent recordings with strongly defined backing. I don't know if you are familiar with her other LP's, she normally sings a mix of original and less used standards against a jazz oriented piano and bass. This album ( Black cover with a clever photo of madam cole's legs on the cover) has several songs with a larger jazz group including brass and sax players with quite a bit of improvisational soloing. I like her way of singing and all in all very skillfull music making . This one is pretty good (as are all the others I have anyway).

Geoff

Thank goodness I ran out of time loitering at the record shop booth at the Rocky Mountain Fest.

The only reason I did the less *damage* is that I was late to meet up with a friend!

Geoff, You dont mess about do you.
You have got some good vinyl there.
I have been looking for those two Yello albums for the last few weeks.
They will sound fantastic on your system with the volume up a bit.

Oh yes Munch...they do

As always, many thanks for the thorough reply Geoff!

Peter

ROTF, as a folkie you're going to love this one!!!!

Just found "Andy Irvine and Paul Brady" the classic deleted LP (unavailable on CD too) on the Mulligan label in my local charity shop for £3. What's more...its signed by both artistes (!!). Why would anyone take that down the local Oxfam I ask you?

Probably worth a bob or two as well, not that I'll be getting rid of it in a hurry.

Can't wait to get that baby home.

Hi Jonathan

That's some find - I saw Paul Brady and Andy Irvine playing together in an incarnation of Planxty at Southampton in the mid-70s: absolutely wonderful (Dónal Lunny and Liam O'Flynn were there too) - as concerts go, it ranks as one of the all time best I've attended.

Faultless musicians and superb entertainers - you have rescued a gem. Enjoy it.

ATB Rotf

New Japanese re-issue. Superb.

'Bryter Layter' and 'Pink Moon' are available too.

John.

John (J.N.)

Snap - stumbled across all three Nick Drake albums in HMV Oxford Street, much to my surprise - their vinyl section has really grown in the last few months. A friend was telling me about his e-bay efforts to secure these records recently - I took a punt on this one yesterday purely based on cover and song titles!

Peter

Lyndon

That Zep collection of yours is getting bigger and bigger - hope you don't mind me asking but where are you getting these titles from and what is the quality like?

Peter

Oh, almost forgot - I also picked up Springsprong's latest Magic along with the Nick Drake album.

Peter

Nick Drake's Fruit Tree is out. Its a four LP OR CD box set 108 page book and a dvd for £38.00 at hmv.

Volume one of the Ornette Coleman Trio's 'At the Golden Circle', original 1965, US pressing. Bought yesterday for as little as 15 euro. Made my day as I paid 40 euro for part two some months ago.

hi northpole
yep the lad zep collection is getting bigger, but still mudslide and blueberry hill are evading me.
the quality, as with all bootlegs is variable some of the best i've found are ACDC, some of these are of studio quality, the bbc recordings are normally reliable, there is alot of info available on the internet.

lyndon

ACDC - from the vaults

early stuff including tracks with their original vocalist (dave evans)
