AMEN CORNER "the world of amen corner" 1969, vinyl....from my mum's collection.
borrowed this one last weekend, just got round to play it now, i used to like this when i was a child....another of the "Mod" material i used to listen to, so my mum's probably responsible for my love of Paul Weller and all things Mod....and yes, i used to ride a Lambretta with mirrors,a foxtail on the back arial,ray bans, fichtail parka, ben sherman shirts, loafers etc....those were the good old days, now i just use this music to remember those days of wasted youth(girls, dope,drink and partying)!
as i said, i used to like this, i should have left it alone in hindsight now im older and wiser about music,
there are several good ones on this, but most of it is crap with crappy cover versions of Impressions,Bunny Sigler,Miracles and an Elvis cover version.
Amen Corner were a bit R&B, bit psychadelic, bit bubblegum pop in places....its really not my cup of tea now, hasnt stood the test of time at all IMO, even the big UK hit "bend me shape me" doesnt seem as good as it once did, although "high in the sky" still sounds pretty cool.
that said it did bring back a few pleasant memories of bongs,vodka and Wendy...oh how good she was!...but she's another story for another day!
