Also more impressive that Gold did 99% of singing, writing, playing and producing on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Alexa’s versions of Christmas hits not quite by the actual artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Christmas vinyl this afternoon It swings for me, today... They're underrated as ****, for at 39 put oasis on their own tier then that's as chasing top of the next tier down Illmatic played with the Washington orchestra, said in the other thread about hip hop and live bands, this is one of the best hip hop albums ever played with a live orchestra, it's stunning it's incredible it's everything I could ever want hip hop to be it's pinnacle stuff, RSD exclusive that my gran somehow managed to get her hands on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Johnson, Ken Thorne and KPM legend John Cameron respectively. They could be from the telly audio masters? There's quite a lot of mono iirc? I like them. They are actually bespoke, but there's not the sweet step up in sound quality like, let's say 'The Sweeney', where the tunes came from a library, and the library will want a legit release to sound nice.

villa4europe Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I bit the bullet and got one of my favourite live albums ever, it's a reissue and I'm still on the hunt for an original but I've looked for years without a sniff Another pinnacle live album, watch the documentary two killings of Sam Cooke on how this album is "blacker" than what his record label wanted Id say this ranks higher than the other soul live albums I've got by otis and marvin, I've explored James brown but not dipped in to the vinyl yet Get this album I knew about 3 of the songs before I listened to it but like straight from the intro it's so confident and bang on, this guys way out ahead of anyone else imo I feel a colection coming on, it's just I want more and more, he should be bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 1 Moderator Share Posted January 1 Oh look, another almost reasonably priced album (£14.99) Dr Alimantado - Love Is A compilation of his work with Lee Perry, King Tubby, Joe Gibbs… featuring everyone humanly possible, I think every reggae studio musician you've ever heard of is on here somewhere, even Jah Woosh (for another On-U connection), Augustus Pablo, Revolutionaries,Upsetters, oh everyone… Earliest track is 1971 latest is 1983 Dr Alimantado was popular with the punks, John Lydon praised him (probably during his Jamaican Frontline A&R sojourn) and The Clash even name checked him song, Rudie Can't Fail (“Like the a doctor that was born for a purpose”) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
