Most of them look in very decent nick too. NB - one of them is for the wife, honest guv. I own two of them, and I love them both. Prefab Sprout and Slade obviously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own the Prefab Sprout and would definitely buy the Slade one. I'd consider buying the Dire Straights one to prevent other people being subjected to it. Grease - meh, Christopher Cross, I suspect I'd hate and I have no idea what the other one is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 My dad was in to Dire Straits back at a time I really didn’t like my dad. It’s like some ptsd flashback, I see that and I stare blankly at the middle distance mouthing the words ‘Vietnam man, Vietnam’ over and over. See also: Queen.

But certainly in the 80s I struggle to think of any band more bland, more geared towards accountants, less punk than Dire Straits. I hated them. I can stomach them now, not shit like Money for nothing, that has the added effluance of Sting on it, but I can listen and not get angry to a lot of their stuff. I would never seek it out. Romeo and Juliet aside. Edited July 20, 2023 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Six Blade Knife. Once Upon A Time In The West Live off Alchemy. Telegraph Road and Private Investigations are getting an unwarranted kicking. As with many bands there's a lot of dross for sure, and when it's bad it's bad, but there's a fair bit of magic in there. Anyway, carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, random chance the record I’d budgeted for this week is ‘late’ or rather, only now being issued digitally, with the actual record coming some time in August, which pushed it the other side of pay day and they had one lonesome new copy of this in the racks, so no need to go crate digging and flicking thru the usual used record places. I’ll have to check my notes but I think this is the first record I’ve bought in 2023 that gets a tick against U.S. artiste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a large promo poster of the LP, autographed and given to KMEL Radio in LA back in the day (when they were not a rap/hip hop station). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
