Rugeley Villa Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 With Tommy Bolin . Sounds like this is the gig where Bolin nodded off the night before in an heroin stupor and fell asleep on his arm leaving him with no feeling for days.

I have his current album (Milk City Sweethearts) on my long list after hearing a track called The Toffee Tickler He's very late '70s / early '80s Stiff Records. If he'd been around then, he'd have been on Stiff without a doubt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right up my musical street at the moment, really good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 2, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2021 Marc RIley regularly calls this the greatest debut album ever. I'm not sure if that is true or not. It is however an alltime classic and I never tire of hearing the interplay between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's guitars If you've never heard this album, you really should give it a go, it's influenced so much of the music following in it's wake 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard about it, and it looks pretty cool. Was tempted to try and win it, I mean that’s one of the fun things regarding LPs, that you take risk and buy albums you aren’t sure about or never heard of. I will probably end up buying a copy .

It's a great album but really not confident it's your sort of thing in all fairness. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I don’t know how much that would be on eBay with postage, but I’d expect an average record shop to have a new reissue stocked for less than £20. Mine was less than £15. I do tend to play the album just in anticipation of the one track, but it is a doozy. Just the correct side of noodling self indulgence.

An older copy would probably be more than £20, there's three copies of my version for sale on discogs in the UK, the cheapest is £19 plus £4.10 postage the others are hitting £30 with the postage Mine isn't even a first press, its a German repress from an unknown year, released in the 80s as a Nice Price i.e. cheap album that I paid £4.49 for new. It is nowhere near the top of the collectable pile, though it is in very good condition, it's even still in the original shrink wrap I definitely think a modern repress would be cheaper and better, you'd probably get a more heavyweight vinyl than the earlier presses for starters There seems to be plenty of the 2012 repress on black 180g on discogs for a marginally lower price. The later versions are all coloured vinyl, double albums ???? (it does not warrant a double album) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I personally prefer Richard Hell's Blank Generation, but that's not to say Marquee Moon isn't great, I think from a pop angle Blank Generation appeals to that side of my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
