One of my favourite albums of 2010.

Try the trax City Underwater or Medicine Man.

At times sounds like Robin Trower with James Dewar did live.

Ta mate! 

Though, actually, I was apologising for admitting that I was, (guilty secret), watching The One Show.

Something pleasant and gentle to start the evening with.

Not seen that cover artwork for No Frontiers before.

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

My kind of Art Rock. And the uptempo Editions of You is sublime.

^ I assume you have this cover Mike which seems to have been used when it was reissued, reprinted (or whatever?) in 1992 on both Vinyl and CD. As far as I can see on Discogs the album cover I have is the one it was originally issued with in the 80s. There again I could be totally wrong on that but have a look here at Discogs who are usually pretty accurate.

1973 - Original vinyl...

Hmmm, thought mine was early/original and its Polydor. Great record anyway!

 

Well spotted. That is the cover for the 77' Dutch pressing. Mine is a Polydor 2442118 A1/B1 pressing and below is the cover for the UK 1st pressing.

I've just dug out my original copy and gave it a spin. Good album, but I was always disappointed with Akermans playing, particularly on Sylvia.

 Strangely, or maybe not, the cat was sleeping soundly through the fireworks that where going off, but as soon as Thijs Van Leer’s vocals kicked in, it woke up jumped off its chair and stared worryingly at the speakers.

UFO, Too Hot To Handle, working from home and being constantly distracted by how good this band and this album is.  Saw them live last week and can't believe I haven't listened to them more over recent years

Do you mean "Lights Out", perhaps you where distracted by your work.

 Plus One. A great album

 The live album “Strangers in the night” is definitely worth a listen, as is Michael Schenkers first solo album after he left UFO.

Bryan Ferry - Boys and Girls

So tasteful. The sonic equivalent of handmade shoes. (I imagine).
