Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells


Let's go all hippy on ya, is there anyone out there who doesn't have this?Amazing album from Mike Oldfield considering he is supposed to have played all the instruments himself.
Part of side one was famously used in the Exorcist which like this record is still good despite it's age.
I listen to this about once a year, so that's about 36 times so far :)
One thought always crosses my mind is that if this album had faded into obscurity when it was released would Richard Branston have also faded into obscurity? as this was the project that got his Virgin empire on the map.

01 - Tubular Bells (Part One)
02 - Tubular Bells (Part Two)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome


Just in case you haven't had enough Frankie here's the first album containing a big bundle of the tracks covered by the singles but remixed again.
I used to have the vinyl version but I can't find it? I don't remember selling it so it must have been "borrowed" by some thieving git?
So I hope this CD version is the same (although I'm guessing ZTT made this slightly different so we would all shell out for it again).
Star billing on this album to another different version of the title track (this time 13:40's worth).

01 - The World Is My Oyster
02 - Welcome To The Pleasure Dome
03 - Relax
04 - War
05 - Two Tribes
06 - (Tag)
07 - Fury
08 - Born To Run
09 - San Jose
10 - Wish The Lads Were Here
11 - The Ballad Of 32
12 - Krisco Kisses
13 - Black Night White Light
14 - The Only Star In Heaven
15 - The Power Of Love
16 - Bang

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasure Dome 12XZTAS7


Briefly owned the standard 12" version of this but this version is superior by a mile so I just kept this one.
The 12 minute version of Pleasuredome features a nice opening dialogue (possibly by Geoffrey Palmer?) before launching into the main track.
Great collection of tracks on the B side with cover versions of T-Rex's Get it on and a live version of Springsteen's Born to run plus Happy hi.

01 - Welcome To The Pleasure Dome (Fruitness)
02 - Get It On
03 - Happy Hi
04 - Born To Run (Live)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love 12ZTAS5


Frankie's Christmassy tune came in a nice gift sleeve which was impossible not to tear if you wanted the listen to the record.
The nine and a half minute version of Power features Red Dwarf's Chris Barrie doing his best Mike Read and Ronald Reagan impressions before the song.
I wasn't sure where track 3 ends and 4 begins, also they are listed in the wrong order on the disc.

01 - The Power Of Love
02 - The World Is My Oyster
03/04 - Scrapped And Trapped + Holier Than Thou

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes XZTAS3


This one features a remixed version of Two tribes coming in at just under eight minutes, the B-side appears to be the same as the other disc.
Tracks 3 and 4 were listed in the wrong order on disc and cover.

01 - Carnage (Two Tribes)
02 - War (Hide Yourself)
03 - One February Friday
04 - Two Tribes (Surrender)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes 12ZTAS3


Two 12" versions, this one featuring a nine minute version of Two tribes, the B side includes their version of Edwin Starr's War, and an alternate version of Two Tribes plus an interview style track,
This one came in a plain sleeve but has different pics on the record label from the other version.

01 - Two Tribes (Annihilation)
02 - War (Hide Yourself)
03 - One February Friday
04 - Two Tribes (Surrender)

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax 12ZTAS1


Yes I admit I fell for the second great Rock n' Roll swindle of buying the multiple releases of every Frankie track during their golden period of the mid eighties.
This one was bought on 7", 12" and cassette.
I have the 7" and 2 x 12" versions left, although I didn't realise when buying them that my 2 12" version were exactly the same apart from one having a picture sleeve and one a plain black one.
I have some decent versions of the cassette versions with alternate mixes, here's the 12" version.

01 - Relax (Sex Mix)
02 - Ferry Cross The Mersey
03 - Relax

24 Skodas - Mouth

Various - Avon Calling The Bristol Compilation


Was listening to an old John Peel show and he mentioned this which I'd forgotten about luckily I checked the old files and found I already had it.
Basically the best of Bristol's "new wave" scene from the late seventies and it sounds great :)
Strangely the first track starts with a Peel clip mentioning this album, although it says there are only 15 tracks? so I have to assume this is a later version.

01 Glaxo Babies - It's Irrational
02 Europeans - On The Continent
03 Private Dicks - Green Is In The Red
04 Moskow - Too Much Commotion
05 Essential Bop - Chronicle

No Doubt - Hella Good


I like some of the early No Doubt although Gwen Stefani has gone down the more commercial R'n'B route over the last few years, which is her choice of course.
Found this recently behind one of my kid's cupboards and it looks like he never played it so not sure why he bought it? unless it was during that period he was going to be a superstar DJ before deciding to go off to college to be a film director instead?

I know some records are improved at a higher BPM this isn't one, Quite clearly states 45rpm but Pinky and Perky strike again if you try it? should be 33rpm.

01 - Hella Good (Roger's Release Yourself Mix)
02 - Hella Good (Roger's Release The Dub Mix)
03 - Hey Baby (Stank Remix) Featuring Outkast And Killer Mike (Dirty Version)

Maggie Bell - Hazell


Theme tune from an old UK TV detective show starring Nicholas Ball who was a recent villain in Eastenders and does hotel ads with Lenny Henry.
As I remember the series was written by dodgy football manager Terry Venables!!
Despite this it's a great song from the always impressive voice of Maggie Bell.
Also I think it's the only record I've ever owned on the Swansong label that wasn't Led Zeppelin.

01 - Hazell
02 - Night Flighting

Edwin Starr - War


1970 classic from Edwin Starr which passed me by at the time (as did most songs until the early seventies).
Gained a new lease of life when Frankie did their version in the mid eighties.
The B side "he who picks a rose" has a nice Northern soul feel to it.

01 - War
02 - He Who Picks A Rose

Diana Ross - Ain't No Mountain High Enough


Just a brilliant tune from Diana Ross, released in 1970 in the era of great Tamla singles.
Just realised I scanned this the wrong way round :)

01 - Ain't No Mountain High Enough
02 - Can't It Wait Until Tomorrow

Gladys Knight And The Pips - Help Me Make It Through The Night


Gladys knight's 1972 reworking of the Kris Kristofferson song.
This is such a brilliant song with the talking introduction not included on most Motown compilations.

01 - Help Me Make It Through The Night
02 - If You Gonna Leave (Just Leave)

Chairman Of The Board - Give Me Just A Little More Time


Number 3 hit From 1970 and first chart success for Chairman Of The Board.
I know it's the wrong cover but it looked better than the grubby white sleeve it came with.

01 - Give Me Just A Little More Time
02 - Since The Days Of Pigtails (And Fairy Tales)

George Bad Benson - Supership


Disco tune from George "Bad" Benson from 1975 not really what most of associate him with, the B side is more like the classic Benson guitar sound.

I'm sure I liked Supership at the time but it does sound really dated.
My Latin brother is a great instrumental and this vinyl is different from a lot of my mouldy oldies in that the B is in great condition with virtually no scratches where a lot of my others have good condition A sides and B sides that sound like they've been used as coasters?

01 - Supership
02 - My Latin Brother

Dr Feelgood - Roxette


To celebrate the first showing of Oil City Confidential at the national film theatre this Friday here's what I consider to be their best song.
"Roxette" and "Keep it out of sight" which were both recorded live at the Kursaal in Southend.


The film itself is a documentary by Julien Temple detailing the rise and fall of the best pub rock group ever.
Quote from film blurb - "Members of The Clash, Blondie and The Sex Pistols join the surviving members of Dr Feelgood and collaborators Jools Holland and Alison Moyet to tell the story of Canvey, 70's England and the greatest local band in the world."

I'm not sure if the film will make a general release or just turn up on Channel 4 one night? but I'll be looking out for it as I was lucky enough to see them twice in the seventies.

01 - Roxette
02 - Keep it out of sight

Golden Earring - Moontan


One of the first "prog" style albums I ever bought back in the mid Seventies, mainly due to loving "Radar love" and the naked lady on the cover :)
As it goes the extended version of Radar love ended up the least played of the 5 tracks as I thought the others were brilliant and were a good introduction to the many overblown prog tracks I would buy later. This is still a favourite of mine.
The CD versions I've seen of this have a different track listing for some reason? track 4 Big Tree Blue Sea is missing and replaced by the B-side of Radar love "Just like Vince Taylor" and an extra track called Suzy Lunacy which devalue it a bit.

Me being me - Despite a mighty back catalogue from nearly 50 years of recording I could never really get into any of their other albums, a problem I suffer from with a lot of the early stuff I bought as a kid? I saved up my money to buy about one album a month and listened to it so many times until it was imprinted on my brain, every lyric every note, with so much music now being so freely available at the click of a button there isn't time for one album to have that brain-washing effect it had then. Better music came along and the moment was gone.
Psychoanalysis crap over .. enjoy the album :)

01 - Radar Love
02 - Candy's Going Bad
03 - Vanilla Queen

04 - Big Tree Blue Sea
05 - Are You Receiving Me

The Pretenders - Pretenders


Never really decided if I was a fan of the Pretenders, this album demonstrates a range of styles with almost classic punk in places but also some dull commercial stuff like Brass in Pocket.
Tattooed Love boys, Private Life and Precious are really great tracks though and probably why I've resisted the urge to sell this on.
The line up featured here suffered tragedy as guitarists Pete Farndon and James Honeyman Scott both died of drug overdoses within a few years of this coming out.
My personal feeling was that this album was as good as it got from the Pretenders.

01 - Precious
02 - The Phone Call
03 - Up The Neck
04 - Tattooed Love Boys
05 - Space Invader
06 - The Wait
07 - Stop Your Sobbing

08 - Kid
09 - Private Life
10 - Brass In Pocket
11 - Lovers Of Today
12 - Mystery Achievement

Jamming Fanzine


And now for something completely different ...
Another find in the boxes in the loft an old punk fanzine called Jamming, I used to have a few of these fanzines but it seems this is the only one left intact.
Just looked it up on the net and it says it's from April 79 and is moderatly rare although it must be a hard thing to authenticate as it's basically just photocopies stapled together.
I bought this in a record shop up London around 79 so it should be an original, those I've seen for sale have a different colour front page?
Features on Prag Vec, Sid Vicious, Rezillos, Lurkers, Bill Nelson and a variety of other stuff in typical fanzine style.

Clash - Demos 76-79


Another from the "Destroy Tapes" series, mainly a collection of demos from the Polydor, CBS and "give 'em enough rope" sessions.
Most of these were available recently on the DOA album although I think the quality is better here suprisingly? must be some technical reason why the CD version sounds so flat compared to this cassette version.
Incidentally the cover tracklisting misses Stay Free but it was on the tape, although it ends a bit sudden so the tape might have ran out.

01 Career Opportunities
02 White Riot
03 Janie Jones
04 London's Burning

Tracks 9-16 - Rope Demos 1978
Track 17 - Wessex Studios 1979
Track 18 - Live In New York 1982

Jam - Rare Trax 77-81


I'm pretty sure I owned this one (or something similar) in the distant past which is long gone, so was quite pleased when I found this for download (once again thanks Mr original uploader).
Some great versions and a few really rough recordings but it all brings back memories of listening to this stuff on an old fashioned radio I had at the time.
Mainly Peel sessions, 4 tracks from a show called B15 which I don't remember, 2 from the legendary Revolver which I'd love to see again as it used to be on late on a Saturday night and as I was rarely sober on a Saturday night I missed a lot of that show.

The Best Gig I Never Went To


Hunting through my old junk I came across this bit of paper torn from "Sounds" from sometime in 1976, I had fancied going to this gig as I had been to a couple of shows at the Kursaal Southend before and at the time was trying to see at least one band a week as I had just started earning.
The Pistols turned up on Janet Street Porters Sunday morning show "the London Weekend Show" and thought I've gotta get along to that.
A little later they appeared on TV with Bill Grundy and the rest is history as they say.
The gig was cancelled and at the time it seemed like no big deal as most of the bands I saw at the time were never heard of again, but with hindsight it would have been amazing to have been there if it had gone ahead - The Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Clash and Johnny Thunder all playing here in Southend.
I think I ended up going to see the Shadows at the Cliffs instead!! very punk of me haha

Prodigy - Firestarter


Classic Prodigy and probably the track that most people will think of if you say the Prodigy.
I didn't have a CD player at the time this came out so had to search far and wide for a vinyl version, and could only find this 12" version which I'm glad I bought.
Molotov bitch ends suddenly but does on the CD version as well so must be normal.

01 - Firestarter
02 - Firestarter (Instrumental)
03 - Firestarter (Empirion Mix)
04 - Molotov Bitch

M - Pop Muzik


Here's more pop muzik than you can shake a stick at (whatever that means)
M - Pop Muzik (1979 Original)
I sold my original picture sleeve version of the 79 original years back but picked up this plain sleeve copy at a boot sale recently for 10p and although a little crackly it still sounds good.

Pop Muzik
M Factor

Robin Scott's M - Pop Muzik 1989 Remix 
 The 89 Remix which to me doesn't sound a whole lot different but gave M another top 20 hit. The B side is labelled the 1979 original but is slightly different from the original vinyl version.

Pop Muzik (1989 Remix)
Pop Muzik (Original 1979 Mix)

M - Moonlight And Muzak


Minor follow up hit to Pop Muzik which I liked enough at the time to buy new.
Can't find my other M single "Moderne man" so I assume I sold it for a pittance many years back which is a shame.

01 - Moonlight And Muzak
02 - Woman Make Man

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street


Sax classics part 3, over thirty years old but still sounding good.
Ravenscroft's sax solo is probably one of the most recognisable pieces of music around and elevates a pretty ordinary song into the classics.

01 - Baker Street
02 - Big Change In The Weather

David A Stewart And Candy Dulfer - Lily Was Here


Sax classics part 2.
Candy Dulfer is still going strong and looking good, although I'd never heard of her at the time this came out.
David A Stewart of course was the other member of the Eurythmics.

01 - Lily Was Here
02 - Lily Robs The Bank

Hazel O'Connor - Will You


First of 3 saxophone classics.
This was in my opinion the best thing that Hazel ever did, I'd bought all the earlier singles from the "breaking glass" soundtrack but was never really a fan, but her voice on this one is far superior.

Incidentally does anyone remember the title of the kids TV show she was in before her film break, sure she played a punk rocker but can't remember much else about it.

01 - Will You
02 - Sons And Lovers

Various - Spools Paradise RMC60 1985


Really pleased with the quality of this cassette considering the age of the tape and how many times it was played in the car.
A real good selection of alternative artists and styles which introduced me to several of these bands who went on to become famous for the first time.
A record Mirror compilation although I can't remember if this was cover mounted or I had to collect tokens for it, but I'm glad I got it either way.
Favourites for me were the Lloyd Cole, Win and Pogues tracks.

Win - You've Got The Power
Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money)
Lizzie Tear - Kima (Hey! Ma Ma!)
Brilliant - Ruby Fruit Jungle
Colourbox - Arena
Chakk - Turn The Sound Out (Higher Than I Want To Be)
Pogues - A Pair Of Brown Eyes
Animal Nightlife - Love Is Just The Great Pretender (Undressing Mix)
James - Just Hip
ABC - Fear Of The World (In Cinemascope)
Tippa Irie - Complain Neighbour
Virginia Astley - I Live In Dreams
Hipsway - Forbidden
Del Amitri - Heard Through A Wall
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Rattlesnakes (Live)

Various - Exposed No. III New Noise For The Nineties


Some of my old cassettes are virtually unplayable these days but a few like this one sound as good as ever luckily.
Another random selection of bands on this cover mounted cassette which I assume came with Exposed magazine although that's long gone.
The Bjork album track is the only one most people would have heard before.

Bjork - Come To Me
Wool - EFF
Goats - Typical American (Baked Potato Mix)
Wild Orchids - Traffic Of Tears
Frenzy - (It's A) Mad Mad World
Morphine - Good
Scuttlebutt - Magic Wand
Magic Dragon - Splash
Purple Dreams - Anywhere Else
Flowerdrum - The Heat Is On
Shining - My Hollywood

Kate Bush - The Dreaming


From 1982 Kate's 4th album probably not as fondly remembered as some of her earlier albums by most, but I think it's one of her best.
Stand out tracks are "Sat in your lap" "Suspended in Gafa" "The dreaming" and my own favourite "There goes a tenner" but the rest all have their own merits.

01 - Sat In Your Lap
02 - There Goes A Tenner
03 - Pull Out The Pin
04 - Suspended In Gaffa
05 - Leave It Open

06 - The Dreaming
07 - Night Of The Swallow
08 - All The Love
09 - Houdini
10 - Get Out Of My House

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill


The song that heralded the return for Kate after her first long break from 81 to 85 and what a great song it was.
Also came in a nice gatefold sleeve.

01 - Running Up That Hill
02 - Under The Ivy

Kate Bush - Rubberband Girl


More Kate Bush not one of her best but it's Kate :)

01 - Rubberband Girl
02 - Big Stripey Lie

Kate Bush - Rocket Man


Taken from the "Two rooms" compilation album which was a collection of Elton John covers recorded by popular artists at the time, not really a favourite of mine but bought it anyway.

01 - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long Long Time)
02 - Candle In The Wind (Vocal Version)

Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love


Opens with the line "it's in the trees it's coming" from one of my all time favourite horror movies "night of the demon" which despite the crap special effects is still one of the spookiest movies I've seen.
Anyway the song is pretty good as well, title track of the album.

01 - Hounds Of Love
02 - The Handsome Cabin Boy

Kate Bush - Babooshka


Great song, even better video :)
I don't think the B side is on any album? just basing that on the fact I didn't have an mp3 version of it and I thought I had everything.

01 - Babooshka
02 - Ran Tan Waltz

Kate Bush - The Man With The Child In His Eyes


Classic Kate the follow up to Wuthering heights, beautiful stuff.

01 - The Man With The Child In His Eyes
02 - Moving

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights


The song that thrust Kate into the public eye for the first time.

01 - Wuthering Heights
02 - Kite

Kate Bush



Is there anyone in my age group who didn't fancy Kate Bush, I often wonder if I'd have even listened to any of her stuff if I'd never seen her or if she was ugly or even ordinary? None of her tracks really fit with the stuff I was listening to at the time, but I'm so glad I did :)
Here is the remainder of my Kate Bush vinyl collection, I'm disappointed to find out that I sold off at least 7 singles and my silver coloured vinyl of the Kick Inside, seemed a good idea at the time!!

Back Again

Back Again, Hopefully back for good now? (although I know I've said that before).
Internet bill paid and I've gone cold turkey on my Facebook addiction which wasted so much time when I was online earlier this year, being offline for 2 months made me realise what was important (..and it ain't Facebook)
Just gotta update all my AV's and stuff and I'm back in the fold.

What a fucking shit year this has been for a huge variety of reasons but one thing that keeps you going is music.
A trip back to the music of my youth cheers me up no end and I can associate certain tracks with happy times throughout my life, and if that fails it's straight on to the Madness collection which should make everyone smile.

A random collection of the best of Sid, the first 2 tracks are Sid's vocals on 2 Pistols singles, My Way everyone should know.

Another one from 1976 these are the Pistols tracks from the Midnight Special gig at the Screen on the Green in Islington London.
The Clash and Buzzcocks were both on the same bill that night, so quite a night for anyone who attended.

Sex Pistols - Live At Chelmsford Prison


Originally recorded in 1976 this CD was released in 2000 although I've read that a lot of the crowd reaction was cut including a near riot after anarchy.Strangely despite living within 15 miles of Chelmsford I never go there, apart from two appearances at the crown court, where luckily I've avoided visiting the venue for this CD :)
Incidently the cover picture is misleading as Glenn Matlock was still in the band when this was recorded.

01 Lazy Sod
02 New York

Blondie - Denis


Not sure if this was different to the 7" version, but it had a bigger picture :)
Really love the 2 tracks on the B.

01 - Denis
02 - Contact In Red Square
03 - Kung Fu Girls

Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone


Loved watching the video of this song, Debbie at her best.
So many people have said to me that they prefer the original Nerves version, well sorry to come across as a plastic punk but I like this version best, the Nerves one was OK but they never had a gorgeous blonde frontwoman so to my mind there was no competition :)
