Bargepole commented on the post, Paul McCartney and Wings – Wild Life & Red Rose Speedway 2CD Deluxe Editions 4 days, 22 hours ago
Always thought these two releases were average at best – but much better was to come from Wings later in 1973 with Band On The Run, easily their best work for me.

What does it sound like?:
Resplendent in its Roger Dean artwork, this was Greenslade’s second album and indeed their second release of that proggiest of years 1973. It’s now reissued in remastered form as a c […] -

Agreed – the lyrics without the music is half the story – an enjoyable book to dip in and out of though when the mood takes you.

Pandora’s Box is the best on here for me, but the album is let down by a couple of iffy odd choice covers – the two live sets are well worth hearing though.

Looking forward to some more releases like this – Axe Victim, Futurama and the LIve In The Air Age set, which was their first release I had.

And by the way, could there have been a more apt title for a book by the reclusive and enigmatic Ms Bush….

Collections of lyrics are often somewhat strange affairs. Reading the lyrics as poetry or verse, without the familiar musical accompaniment can be an odd experience. Still, Kate Bush has […]

Just a mention for serious Heep collectors that the Demons and Wizards vinyl has just been reissued as part of ‘The Art of The Album’ series – no new music but nice new artwork by Roger Dean and a new booklet.

Bargepole commented on the post, Jools Holland & Marc Almond with The Rhythm & Blues Orchestra – A Lovely Life To Live 2 weeks, 4 days ago
The two have toured together for the last couple of years, and indeed are doing so again currently – the combination works surprisingly well on stage, perhaps more so than it does on record.

As good as Graves’ book is, there’s a whole generation who will never have heard of him and wouldn’t even think of picking up one of his works, whereas Fry has the huge advantage of being a household name and […]

We’re talking about two different bands really though, with the only common factor being the name.

Funny things, moods – some days I’m convinced Misplaced Childhood is Marillion’s finest hour, others I’m equally certain it’s this one, the final album of the Fish era, origina […] -
