Man I picked up 'The Creeps' on vinyl.This thing should come with a health warning, "May intensely annoy neighbours of surrounding villages"Suffice to say its great, really dirty bass.

Anybody have any idea where I can get hold of the wonderful Pal Judy on CD? I have it on vinyl but missed out on the CD reissue circa 1990. Anyone got any clues?After my recent trials with Steinberg Clean I am disinclined to try and burn to CD from...

Hi dave I just needed your attention could you please either reply via the slide/ bottle neck thread or email me on arthur.bird@tesco.net THANKS, oldie.

I picked up the album 'It still moves' on vinyl this weekend and this is really getting a lot of air time.It sounds like 'after the goldrush' period Young mixed up with a bit of Mercury Rev/flaming lips. Although it is more mainstream and less avant...

December 22, 1972 was a pretty good night, at least in Vienna. On that evening, Karl Bohm conducted Salome, with Leonie Rysanek in the title role. Someone saw fit to record the show. Bless them.I picked up Opera d’Oro’s affordable reissue...

HiThere always seems to be one track which puts hairs on the back of your neck, mine is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin especially the last three minutes. Does anybody else have tracks which do the same to them.Colin

This looks real tasty http://www.amazon.com/exec/obi...lance&s=dvd&n=507846 "Be my lover, don't cause me pain, just play me John Coltrane"

Does anyone have True Love Waits - Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead? Any good? I was thinkingof picking it up tonight. Being a later Radiohead fan, am I likely to find it annoying?cheers,Dan

Hi allCan I call on your undoubted skills and knowledge?I have to try and name several (early) Miles Davis tracks from a CD. I have them as .mp3s on my server. If you can/want to help, please contact me at chaosstudios@hotmail.com and I can let you...

I've just discovered this wonderfully named band via the Bob Harris Show.They're out of Boulder, Colorado and appear to have put out loads of live albums from individually recorded shows.Bob played a track from 'Untying The Not'(sic) which I'm...

Anybody else catch 'em?Magnificent concert, totally enjoyable, bought the CD.I first heard about them on this forum, though from whom I don't recall - fulsome thanks anyway, whoever you are. Who else should I be listening to?Jim

The last few months I've been taking doses of compilations from Chess Records. For those unfamiliar, Chicago-based Chess Records was the home of electric blues from the mid-'40's to mid-'60's. Brothers Leonard and Phil Chess recorded Howlin' Wolf,...

I bought the Texas Album White on Blond last week. Got to say this is one of the most bland and boring albums I have bought for a long time. This is, I believe their best selling album, I can only hope some of those that have bought it have also tried...

This is from USA Today, and actually has some cool surprises:Top 40 1954-2003Davie

Some of you will recall on an earlier thread that I mentioned the supposed 'leg up' received by the above artist through a well connected relative. The relative in question was none other than Dave Arnold (a second cousin apparently) and he lent Mr...

Last night 14/12/03 we went to another fantastic SawDoctors concert, Sheperds Bush (Carling Apollo). Wonderful atmosphere great music and an extremely good time.Not the greatest sound system 'spose you can't have every thing. This morning still can't...

Just watched a documentary on classical violin, and they suggested that pretty much all modern violinists were "descendents" (stylistically) of Paganini. Not sure how true that is, but the guy seems to have been waaaaay out there as far as technique...

..are really rather good. I have about 5 albums and keep finding more obscurities / imports in the better music shops. Any other fans haunting the forum?

I have just recently discovered Leo kottke, I know he has been around for years ,but I'm a slow learner .His voice is not exactly appealing ,but his playing is something else,especially when he plays "bottle neck" so far I have managed to buy :-...

........don't know about that but its certainly the most chaotic.Robs Record Mart is run by the legandary Rob Searle, Northern Soul God. Its in Nottingham just off Upper Parlament Street. Imagine Selectadisc had a back garden and there it is.I walked...

Often considered the bastard child, the re-mix album often turns up some great stuff.For me Fila Brazilla's Another Late Night got me into the sounds of Mr Scruff and The Beta Band.With this in mind I have been aware of re-mix albums out there and was...

Many times previously I've discussed the unique recordings of Janos Starker, produced by him personally and available only on the Star record label from Ars Nova. The last copies of these masterworks (all on glorious vinyl) are available on list 220...

I hate to admit this but I may as well be honest and say that I have spent my whole life avoiding Bob Dylan. OK, that's a lie : I bought "Slow train coming" when it came out (when I was 19) because it had MK on guitar and PW on drums on it, and at the...

Does anyone out there know the composer and proper title of the Ski Sunday Theme?I've only recently started listening to classical stuff. I find there's loads of it I like but I dont know who its by!Thanks in advance.Steve.
