keyse1 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The Mekons File under one of the greatest bands that no one has ever heard of Anarchic British rock n roll from the Clash days that morphed into their very own rockin take on country music One of my many favourite bands that I missed until a few years ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferchersan Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm a hardcore Zappa fanatic. My Dad got me into it as a kid. I started collecting Zappa LPs in my teens. I've now got all of the albums from the 60s and the 70s on LP. There are about 10LPs from the 80s that I don't own, yet. I'm closing in on owning them all. There's over 70 official LPs. This is a promo only copy of the 1st US Pressing of Bongo Fury from 1975. Killer.

klackto Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Jazz Jamaica Allstars Bought this record from Bryan(guru) a couple of months ago. The featured vocalist is Juliet Roberts who I remember sung with one of my favourite bands in the '80's, Working Week. (They also featured other singers like Tracey Thorne and Working Week's Simon Booth actually played on the first Everything But The Girl album). So I've been on a bit of a musical retro journey this morning as Working Week members Simon Booth & Larry Stabbins before that were in a short lived but influential band 'Weekend' so had to spin that record as well. Back to the present now with Kiasmos. Edited December 27, 2015 by klackto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABG Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 TISM - Great Truckin Songs Of The Renaissance Perhaps not the most musically accomplished album in my collection, but potentially the wittiest. This is just as sharp and incisive as it was the day it was released. One of the most fun bands I've ever seen live too - they really knew how to put on a show. Wish I had this on vinyl, but looking at the prices on Discogs, I'll happily settle for my CD. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely I don't have a lot of CCR, even though my first ever sole-artist album was Cosmos Factory as a gift from my elder sister for my 13th or 14th b'day, and I loved it to death. But I do have the Ultimate Collection* 1998 CD with the Limited Edition Bonus Disc (strangely, even though the bonus disc is on one of those acrylic swivel-out panels, there is absolutely no mention of it on my copy's printed inserts. Its only mention is on a sticker on the jewel box, which adds that it has "full length versions of 6 classic songs". There is no sign of a track listing for the bonus disc; one has to play it and identify them. Even the allmusic listing for this album doesn't list them). Anyway. Effigy is track 5 of the 6, and I love the way that it flows into a 13-minute live rendition of Keep on Chooglin'. Which is playing as I type. IMO the guy mastering the bonus disc did a really good job and avoided all the "default pop-rock settings" on his pro desk. * I guess you are a popular artist when you release 9 original albums and (so far) your label releases 100 compilation albums in your memory.
