The same as Greta Van Fleet, who I also like. Greta Van Fleet's problem is that they sound too much like a clone of that other band... what were they called? Oh yeah, Kingdom Come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 it's like pulling hair in the playground, it's a love thang! I should be more in to the Clash than I am, can't help feeling their good stuff is great, but there's a lot too much filler. Doors though, love a bit of Doors. Like brothers from different mothers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, Kingdom Come. Yeah, I'm not too bothered though. I also love Rhino Bucket...when I first heard them, I thought some undiscovered Bon Scott era AC/DC had been discovered.

chrisp65 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 'live' album, but not really live, just a load of dubbed on generic cheering, I reckon either Ball or McGee had just heard Orgasm by John's Children and did it as a sort of tribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 17, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2019 Forgotten I owned this one. The 4AD supergroup, a sort of Goth precursor to the currently hip modern classical stuff. It's like I'm hearing it for the first time because it doesn't sound very familiar at all (which is probably why it's in such good condition) and I probably appreciate it far more now than I ever did in 1986 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 One from earlier this evening, bit noisy for this time of a Sunday. Home taping is killing music kids, don't do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 17, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2019 The Cure - Faith. Robert Smith's sort of proto-post-rock album and no one seems to have made the connection even 38 years later. In great condition apart from some ringwear on the sleeve Question for @chrisp65My copy was bought in Buffalo Record in the Hayes in Cardiff any recollection of this shop? (I have none, Spillers yes, Buffalo - no) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hmmm, I know the name, it's always listed when people reminisce, but I'd be fibbing if I said I had a genuine memory of it. I think it might even have moved to my town, I'm off to ask the oracle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Well turns out my brother was all over it, had two floors but you had to go upstairs to actually buy anything. I'm guessing, in that he knows it and I don't, then the music in there or the vibe in there would have been more 'rock' orientated, whereas I reckon I'd have been over the road in the slightly more bohemian Spillers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being in one shop flicking through the racks and somebody sidled up to me and asked if I wanted to buy some grass. I declined, and as he was walking away I was thinking 'da **** do I want with grass? Do I look like I've got a garden?'. Happy innocent yoof.

chrisp65 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) 1975: tapes in one shop, records in the other! (after much discussion last night, it was decided the other shop was simply called 'Records & Tapes' but should more accurately have been called 'Mostly Pin Badges & Other Shite') Edited February 18, 2019 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
