Seat68 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Tonight has consisted so far of Rod Stewarts Footloose and Fancy Free, Rod Stewarts Talk of The Town and Yazoo's Upstairs at Eric's. I will assume any likes are for the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Having new furniture in the bedroom, and during the sort out came across a great album I've not played in years. What an amazing album. Still in love is an amazing track. I remember hearing this and it just reached me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 26 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26 Having not really liked it initially, i'm now really enjoying the new IDLES album. Just took a bit longer than it usually does with one of their albums. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 3 Moderator Share Posted March 3 This mornings Sunday session has started. I'm sure I've posted this before. There isn’t an 80s indie / post punk / alternative music kid that didn’t own this album. Even back then, 99p was a ludicrously cheap price, they were giving it away, it was a label sampler designed to generate sales in their other albums and with this I'm pretty sure it worked. But the important thing about this album that makes it a classic, is that it flows and is absolutely groove jammingly full of classic tracks. It’s on the cheapest, flimsiest piece of vinyl you'll ever see and it plays just fine. I actually have two copies of this for some reason. Plenty of labels put out samplers but this one is just one of the best ever, it’s a classic in its field. It can even be forgiven for having 4 Everything But the Girl related tracks on it (which I'd generally frown upon in a compilation - not a crit of the music though, just variety) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Bought this for the one standout track that was used in a TV show that we recently watched (and cannot remember what it is). And no, it's not Sweet Caroline. Also, most Kenneth album title ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Sweet Caroline is also the last standout track mentioned on the cover, generally they named what they considered the best tracks first. Time has a way of proving them wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 3 Moderator Share Posted March 3 Tribute albums are generally shit (and I say that as someone who likes cover versions more than most) but this one is an exception that breaks the rule. From the moment Michael Stipe starts singing Sunday Morning, you're hooked . You'll notice how they don’t even mention him in the cover which is rather odd too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 On 01/03/2024 at 09:21, Designer1 said: What are your thoughts @Designer1? it’s very ambitious and a tonal shift away from their ‘post-punk’ roots with a more danceable beat adopted, whilst still maintaining their wittily acerbic outlook. Theres some great tracks on there and it’s got better with each listen, Petroleum is my current standout looking forward to seeing how the new material transposes live.
