What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

 

Anyway, links:

CC,

Cheers for the info.

The black marker pen over pro-mo copy not to be re-sold was a give away on my copy.

Got the two from zover stockes for very little money.

I wish she had a crush on me?

She would have to fight Kate Walsh off though.

Spooky or what?

Richard,

And without drummer boy - got some nice songs about Serpents on it IIRC. 

Not as good as their next and best, Trespass, in my humble opinion, but a very pleasant listen


I'm assuming it is this album with a posh cover

Guy, yes, that's the one, although the cover is different - couldn't find it online so chose the flowery pic instead - just because I like it.

 

Not a bad album really, but hard to believe that you're hearing the seeds of what would soon develop into such fabulous songs like The Knife.  Now, if only Mr Hoffman could have a go with Trespass.  My German pressed LP is not too bad - better than a late '70s UK press - but they all seem a bit bleached and wiry compared to The Knife on a Japanese double compilation.  Still, doesn't really matter I guess - just a great album, and like you, I reckon it's my favourite.

 

Stu, now that is a bit spooky...

Tony,

It was never put out on vinyl.

Its worth getting the double CD though.

Shed loads of people who loved his music paying tribute by singing his songs that they loved.

Their are some gems in there.

Thanks, Stu.

Heard a track on Paradise this afternoon and loved it. I think it was Stormbringer  with Beck.

Will order a copy on CD

Thanks, again.

Cheers.
