bickster Posted April 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 2, 2020 Not a duff track on here - all original period Ska classics including most of the ones the Two Tone bands covered. Also has OK Fred by John Holt which I'd always assumed was an original by Errol Dunkley (The fart in the bath song) because I think he claimed the writing credit but clearly Holt was well before it (and much better) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2020 THis morning I'm awakening myself with... Mogwai - Kicking a Dead Pig. The expanded version. Essentially a Mogwai remix album originally released in 1998 but this version is from 2001 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2020 And onto Sparklehorse - It's a Wonderful Life Tragic Mark Linkous' Lo-Fi outfit. This album is sad and beautiful at the same time. For me this is a masterpiece, there's no doubt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2020 Moving up a pace very slightly. Not the pop of Different Class but something a little more sophisticated from Jarvis and Co in their final studio album Pulp - We Love life Very undervalued this album, a good way to bow out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vanishing Point album re-imagined by the godlike genius, Adrian Maxwell Sherwood Ltd Edition Card Gatefold Sleeve CD edition (Sounds good, its worth £2) Oh how I have missed this!

bickster Posted April 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2020 Suns up so first reggae album in the pile Roots of David - Various Artists I'm 100% this was an album I bought off Geoff Davies (Formerowner of Probe Records, owner of the Probe Plus Label HMHB et al) when he called round our office with his erm other wares. He never failed to flog me a few cheap Cds with his combustibles, I'm pretty sure it was on a label he either ran or helped out with and got paid in CDs ANyway, its a bit of a corker tbh, Geoff always did know his reggae (He was also partly responsible for the Jukebox in Erics) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 That got a like for the shit artwork. I’m a sucker for dub albums with truly crap cover art. The cover quality is Often an inverse guide to the content quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 4, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2020 I've listened to quite a few more CDs today but haven't been posting them (thought I'd save you all) but I've just put this on. I'd forgotten all about it tbh but I really like it. It has a Radiohead vibe to it but isn't that like Radiohead, good clunking bass and lots of layered noise and guitars. A bit more "Industrial" to Radiohead's "Organic" Mine's the Ltd Edition double CD with the instrumentals on the second CD, that disc seems a bit pointless tbh Unkle - War Stories 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 5, 2020 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2020 Wonder how long this will last, I distinctly remember walking into a record store (Poss HMV) and going in my head... "Oh Cool and new Sufjan Stevens Album", picked it up with a few others and went home. I also distinctly remember is not making it to the end s I hadn't realised it was a soundtrack and it's not been played since. But now my tastes has widened further this actually might make it all the way through. It's orchestral and so far the signs are good Sufjan Stevens - The BQE (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
