brought in a stack of vinyl from the shed
we'll see what happens

Rolling Stones - Some Girls - 1978

one of only three or four albums of theirs I actually like, "some girls" happens to be my favourite album of theirs..
my favourite from the album

Alice Cooper - Special Forces - 1981




from the vinyl shed
has to be the worst AC I own
at the peak of his coke years
as this live clip shows
Alice claims to have no memory of this album

Rockpile - Seconds Of Pleasure - 1980




from the vinyl shed
only album from the band that gave us Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds
reached #27 on Billboard
with this single reaching #51
I love it, single and album

AEROSMITH "pump"  cd,  1989:

a brilliant band that I own little by (toys in the attic, and a compilation, plus this one!)....
band's tenth and comes a day after I posted Tyler's solo album....
raunchy rock and roll on here, some blues rock also plus a couple of rock ballads...
only country this reached #1 in was Australia and only country it spawned a #1 hit was in,
you guessed it, Australia, with Janie's Got A Gun....
album did sell 7 million copies in their homeland though and did have six singles make the charts...
this is kick ass bad-boy rock and roll, Mick and Keith would have been proud to have released this
under their name for sure...
a classy rock album by one of the most consistent bands in the industry!

^Always good to see your reviews CH. 

I'm listening to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells II. Love it - one of my favourite albums ever - a fantastic piece of work that is engaging, soulful and interesting and which above all makes me feel happy - music that fills me up.  

A live version of the opening track - "Sentinel" ... 

[CRAZY-HORSE]

do you prefer it over the original Tubular Bells Ruby???

the reason I ask is I prefer Thick As A Brick II over the original.

[Ruby]

^Yes I do CH. To my ears, it's more accessible and cohesive. Could just be my short attention span  . But seriously - he'd come some way since TB. I quite like III as well - just this is the one, y'know?

Another one - pretty pics too ... 

[Ruby]

^^Tubular Bells - the original. Realised I hadn't actually listened to it for more years than I care to remember. It was so different in its time and the appeal is still there, but it's definitely TB II for me.
