bickster Posted April 23, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2019 Moving on, I remember this lot when they were called Jellystone Park and were managed by a bloke called Al "Onion" Woodward, he was a shit manager, the band, however, were much better, they live a couple of miles away from me in Crosby Clinic - Winchester Cathedral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So potentially, I've picked it up at some point and then put it back down as I've found something else. Or you've posted it before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one to get lost in, like the Niven Jazz and the British Library. Looking at it by genre gives a dizzying overview. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Quote The Incredible PWEI - Pop Will Eat Itself Origination Mix Mixcloud DJ set of tunes sampled by Pop Will Eat Itself on their first few albums. An interesting listen, even if you weren't into them at the height of their pomp? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 25, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2019 Ratso - Stubborn Heart Debut LP from Writer Larry 'Ratso' Sloman. His voice has a kind of Leonard Cohen vibe to it, and it's a tidy collection of tunes one of which ( Our Lady of Light) features a nice duet with Nick Cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 28, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2019 The Last Stiff Compilation - A 1980 Stiff Records Compilation intended for the US Market (as were many of these). Would have been better calling it from the sublime to the ridiculous. Starts off badly with Dexy's then hits highs and lows throughout. The Cockney Rejects probably being the worst, The Mo-dettes and Lori and the Chameleons among the best A1 –Dexys Midnight Runners Dance Stance A2 –Lew Lewis Reformer Win Or Lose A3 –The Cure Jumping Someone Else`s Train A4 –Madness Bed And Breakfast Man A5 –Any Trouble The Hurt A6 –Mo-Dettes White Mice A7 –John Otway The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence A8 -Lene Lovich I Think We're Alone Now (Japanese Version) [Uncredited secret track] B1 –Anthony More* Judy Get Down B2 –Lori & The Chameleons Touch B3 –Wreckless Eric Hit And Miss Judy B4 –The Chords (2) Maybe Tomorrow B5 –Motörhead No Class B6 –Cockney Rejects Flares `N` Slippers B7 –The Damned Smash It Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Oh I bloody loved The Chords, even if that track B4 isn't their best. In fact there's an album in the 'current' rack under the stereo, it really doesn't get rotated out very often. We had access to the 8 track that used to boom music across the fairground and the Island, so Bank Holidays we'd stick on a cassette that was just Chords and Secret Affair and Merton Parkas and all that schizz. I'm quite confident we were probably the inspiration for the whole Ibiza DJ scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I still have the album of the same name somewhere, it'll come out of the racks at some point on my journey of rediscovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
