Good morning from Toonside - hope u is all well and enjoying a great weekend.
Here is the last weeks listening
Deep Purple - Live at Inglewood - fascinationg Mk1 Purps recording courtesy of Fitter Stoke
Pink Floyd - Momentary Lapse of Reason - Floyd - updated for the 80's with grotesque 80's production values and vile plinkety plink 80's synths to the fore - it lacks Waters vitriolic bile but all the usual trademarks are in place - Waters called it a "fair facsimile" - and it has some enjoyable moments for all that.
Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide - what can I say 8-)
Free - Live - cracking live LP from Sunderland and Croydon circa 1970/71 buy it buy it now!
Love - Forever Changes - top stuff indeed
Bad Company - Bad Company - good debut but fails to live up to Rogers and Kirkes previous incarnation as Free
The Darkness - Permission To Land
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Greatest Hits- cracking intro to the funk rockers
Julian Cope - Discover Odin 1st Nite Disc 1 - cracking audience recording - was it really 3 years ago?
Julian Cope -Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day - probably make myself unpopular here - but although it has some great moments I still don't think that this hangs together that well as an entity in its own right or Rite ;-). Tracks included in the Audience with the Cope and Floored Genius 3 CD's - ie Born To Breed might have been better served with the strongest material of this album. But thats just my opinion anyway - starts running
fast!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimi Hendrix - Disc 1 of a lavishly packaged box set (the name of which escapes me) of out takes/alternate versions and live tracks from Olympia circa1967.
Mojo Magazine - The Roots of Led Zeppelin - interesting stuff - particularly Blackwater Side and Nobody's Fault But Mine - What ever happened to Rosie and the Orginals? I ask you!
Fink thats it
Over to You Lot
