chrisp65 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Just now, tonyh29 said: New James album arrived this morning will be giving that a spin It’s actually just become their first ever number one album ( excluding the greatest hits one) , beating Beyoncé into the number 2 spot ….42 years in the making they also went down the record shop and live gig with a copy of the album route that Shed Seven did to achieve their first number one album …. It’s a great way to beat the system rigged for the major acts , hope it continues ( also means I get to see James playing at Pryzm in Kingston later this year ) And there’s a Big Country album (Why The Long Face) as part of Record Store Day schizz, and unbelievably it appears to be fairly sensibly priced.

It’s seen as one of their weaker albums (pipe down @bickster ) but I still give it a spin at work from time to time Funnily enough at the time I saw them promote this album in HMV on Oxford street as I happened to be working in the area that day and walked by and saw a stage area being setup so popped in for a look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 20 Moderator Share Posted April 20 Freshly back from picking up my RSD purchases. Right now it’s Goat and the soundtrack to The Gallows Pole previously only available as a download. Big disappointment as the Liminanas / Menke soundtrack got pulled at the last minute so Probe weren’t able to sell it to me as it’s an RSD release so they can’t say it got out into the wild before they were told. Totally frustrating as it’s in the shop! Goat fans may find this a little downbeat and new age survey, me I knew it was like this so I’m perfectly happy with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I shall leave my rummage until tomorrow and see what’s left. the queue for Spillers started 10pm yesterday, so I think that’s best given a swerve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 20 Moderator Share Posted April 20 Moving swiftly on to the second RSD purchase, an essential addition to my collection. A double album compilation of non PFI solo album tracks and collaborations mainly with Creation Rebel and Singers And Players (On-U house bands) Prince Far I - Cry Tuff Chants On U Also what If consider to be a proper RSD release PFI has been a long time gone but the Jamaican MC/singer is still sorely missed (even though Sherwood still finds “new” vocal cuts to release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 20 Moderator Share Posted April 20 So third RSD purchase was the Harmonia double album. First slab is the album, second slab is the remixes This was something of an impulse purchase as the Liminanas album was pulled I have to say… I could sit here listening to this all week. It was always a ground breaking album but the remixes actually make this which is highly unusual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Well, this is the extent of my RSD, the prices are just not conducive to having much of a splurge. Which brings the SFA album vinyl to… they slowly creep towards the top of the ‘most in the collection by one band’ charts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 27 Moderator Share Posted April 27 The missus is doing some coursework she has today so I have to temper what I'm playing. First up was this and it seemed to pass the test of not irritating the missus. Causa Sui - Szabodelico, recommended by @Xann a few years ago iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 27 Moderator Share Posted April 27 Next up was the really underrated Ghost Power album by the Tim Gane from Stereolab. I'm sort of pushing the boundaries with this one but so far she's not raised an eyebrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Found the Vanilla Fudge album today and got all excited, but it was £25 and looked a bit tired. So I did the grown up thing and put it back. Then found this, sat there looking like a new record for £12 and I’d been after having something by Billy Childish for an age, so all in all, happy.

chrisp65 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) That whole record label, you can trust, just buy it, you’ll be getting decent jazz or decent heavy psych. If you like that album, the one before, Vibraciones, might also work. But basically anything on El Paraiso. Edited April 27 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
