Albums - old and new

Harvest

Jesus, I’m older than Joe Strummer ever was.

Harvest Read earlier this evening that Scorsese was 47 when he made Goodfellas. Put me in a similar mood.

CharlieG

Harvest I’m ten years older than my Dad ever was.

Reggie_Perrin

fulmine Harold Wilson, 49 when he became Prime Minister.

John Thaw, first Sweeney series, a mere 32 😮
I think that trumps them all.

Got my hair cut yesterday , the barber is a friend of mine loves his music and football so we always have a natter whilst he’s clipping , he says “tell you what album i’ve been listening to whilst in lockdown , Never Mind The Bollocks , i’ve played it loads “ it came as shock to him that i’d never owned a copy and never heard the album , they always seemed like a 1970s take that to me a bit manufactured

HJ - there’s a Classic Albums series on Sky, have a look at that.

There’s a bit where the producer of the album is paring back the guitarists work and he is very good.

Here it is on YT:

Harvest

I think it’s a great album, still listen to it regularly.

Jon

I don’t own a copy but it’s a great album. Tons of energy.

Never Mind the Bollocks is one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time. Steve Jones’s guitar sound is just brilliant.

Rudi

Never realised this featured Belinda Carlisle.

Rudi
It’s a hell of an album and seems much forgotten. Meanwhile I’m currently listening to Costello’s Armed Forces and thinking of digging out B52s Whammy to cheer myself up

Harvest

For your fill of folky/country/indie vibes try Saint Cloud by Waxahatchee. Lovely album and she has a great voice.

Jon

I am completely taken by the Furnaces by Ed Harcourt. It’s not new but it’s new to me. I’d only heard two songs by him previously. The closest I can get to a comparison is Jeff Buckley fronting peak Elbow.

Harvest

Jon I’ve heard the track, Furnaces, on a compilation but never checked him out.

Flaneur

New to me is a great descriptor of music. So much great stuff out there that we haven’t heard yet.

Hey lads, give Waterpistol by Shack a listen, these lads have potential.

What I meant to say is this thread inspired me to try something I’m not that familiar with. I gave this LP a try years ago and thought it was okay. Tried it tonight and realised just how good it is.

Now I just need to research early Shack folklore and I will be able to pass missen off as a life long devotee.

Joking apart, it’s time to give this some stick so it really seeps in.

Under-the-ground

Foxy_Dread you are lucky to just discover that. Water pistol is like magic. That first song & the drum sound . Lovely. I was lucky to catch them live on a good night. John Head is a great great player. I remember black & white flew.

Jon

I’ve started playing the first five or so songs of any new (to me) album. It’s easier to digest. Like it was when everything was on vinyl.

Waterpistol, I don’t really have an all time favourite album but it’s a contender, for sure.

Working Men’s Club debut LP is out today. Just giving it a whirl on Spotify.
