You’d hope if they were going to leave that on your doorstep it would at least be in a plain brown wrapper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I continue to defend The Beatles against @bickster, I'm afraid I consider 95% of their subsequent solo recordings as poor and uninteresting. And most of that remaining 5% is All Things Must Pass. Seven years of magnificence followed by fifty years of mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, when there is a copy at a sensible price, I’ll acquire All Things Must Pass. There is a re release of an album by Splinter (The Place I Love) which appears to have Harrison as producer and lots of backing instruments, I nearly got that but put it back.

I like all of Lennon's bar 2 virgins, McCartney is OK for me up to Flaming Pie, Ringo is good for his debut and Harrison is OK for his debut. I tend to be more forgiving of Lennon and MCartney.

I have (but rarely play): Lennon - Plastic Ono Band, Imagine (plus an Imagine outtakes bootleg) and a Greatest Hits McCartney - debut album, Ram, Red Rose Speedway, Band on the Run, Run Devil Run Harrison - All Things Must Pass Starr - Ringo I could probably assemble an hour's playlist from that lot, and scrap the rest. I'm unfamiliar with most of their stuff after that, but what I have heard has left me cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I started on the solo material as I felt I had overplayed the Beatles albums. I had Lennon so started on McCartney, but I am under no illusions, as time went on, for me at least, he got shitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Just tried to play one of my albums to see what the problem is again. It’s nothing to do with the belt it’s the arm sitting down too heavy on the lp creating a fuzzy sound and a repetitive bumping noise throughout the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2023 Watching the match but listening to the recent Mick Head album (Dear Scott) because the missus wants it on after conversations about him last night. I’m now facing being chided about why I don’t have the previous album Adiós Señor Pussycat because that has the song Queen of All Saints on it. It’s about a school teacher from junior school and her and Mick were in the same class. Right now Mick doesn’t know that my missus went to school with him but I suspect he'll find out when she finds a photo of them in their Holy Communion outfits emerges from the photo box, she also reckons she’s got other photos of them on a school trip Anyway, I hope he’s enjoying his honeymoon in Llandudno with Saida, they got married yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
