bickster Posted January 19, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2022 Another charidee shop purchase, bught because it had Different Drum on it and I'd been doing some reading / watching about Laurel Canyon. No idea if its a Canadian pressing or a New Zealand one (same serial numbers) and nor can I be arsed to dig any deeper It's a decent copy but not really my thing, well the Country bits aren't anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds near to live, any production has a real light touch because eyes closed, I could reach out and touch the band. Man, that loud scuzzy guitar is brilliant, its the nearest thing to ‘rock’ that I can get in to. Only three musicians on it, PJ Harvey, Robert Ellis, Steven Vaughan. Very much less is more. All in one go was no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks tune buds. I’ll put it down to “it’s just me”. Fair do. For me her later stuff was/is just genius. Earlier stuff is kind of on the edge of brilliant//Not quite sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 27, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 27, 2022 Swans - Children of God. First UK Pressing of this double album. Vinyl in remarkably good condition Around the time this album came out (1987), Swans were purported to be the loudest band in the world. My mate put them on at The Mardi Gras in Liverpool and it was so loud that even a seasoned gig goer like me couldn't bear it, I listened to the gig from the staircase being a door. Another mate Dave (of the Room / Benny Profane et al) stuck it out inside, he got a pierced eardrum as a result I still think its the loudest gig I've ever been to 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same venue around the same time. That Petrol Emotion. The stage wasn't the most stable of things and the speaker stack wasn't strapped, its wobbling from the off. Me and a friend Jill took it upon ourselfves to climb the stacks and wedge ourselves between the stacks and the ceiling to stabilise them. We weren't even working that gig. Dangerous, oh yes. Didn't give it a second thought though, its just what we did, so effectively my ears were inches from the top end speakers in the stack Ear protection, what's that? It's no wonder I have tinnitus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
