Reissue/Archive Release of 2021 – The Results!
by 21 Comments
Tied for 9th:
Nancy Sinatra – Boots
Marc Almond – Enchanted
8th
Whipping Boy – Heartworm
3 tied for 5th:
Beach Boys – Feel Flows
Neil Young and Crazy Horse – Way Down in the Rust Bucket –
George Harrison – All Things Must Pass 50th anniversary
4th
Bob Dylan – Springtime in New York
3.
Bruce Springsteen & The E St Band – The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts
Now I may have added things up wrong but I believe we have a tie for the winner
1.
Can – Live in Stuttgart
Jackie Leven – Straight Outta Caledonia
As Can had more people voting for it, I am tempted to award the coveted prize to them but it doesn’t really matter. Both of these releases are totally unknown to me so no tie breaker award
Merry Christmas or Frohe Weinachten!
Well, I see the Jackie Leven fb appreciation site (Burning the Box of Beautiful Things) have already acknowledged the tied result, so resist that temptation, if I were you!
(But well done, @dai, and similar seasonal reciprocations.)
Can I be the first (of many, I’m sure) to request a recount, since VdGG didn’t win this year (whether an error of omission or commission, I cannot say)…
But well done for taking it on once more – “Thank’ee, @Dai – I am much obliged to you. I thank you fifty times. Bless you! And a merrier Christmas, Dai, my good fellow, than I have wished you, for many a year!”
@fitterstoke you are in luck, because of my confusion over @Locust ‘s entries VDGG move up to 10, Marc Almond moving out.
1 Leven/Can
3 Bruce
4 Dylan
5 Beach Boys
5 Neil
7 George H
8 Whipping Boy
9 Nancy Sinatra
10 Van der Graaf Generator – The Charisma Years
Well, I’m frankly astonished, @Dai – I’m sure you were aware that I was joshing, since I NEVER really expect VdGG to be anywhere in these polls…who knew?
Sky over my house is red with Santa hats…
That VDGG box is really something. Glad it got a look in.
@fitterstoke I know Guy Evans’ son slightly so happy to help give him this great honour!
Neil Young woz robbed. Great piece of work Dai. Thanks for taking this on, and a Merry Christmas to you.
And to you! Thanks
@dai – I’m pretty sure you must have counted my no 1 choice twice for it to end up in 9th place (not that I’m complaining!) Probably because I made an alternative list later in the thread while the “Gerry: Old or New?” confusion still reigned, and you must have added the points for both lists, because I was the only one voting for Enchanted…
Still; good work, and a very Merry Christmas to you!
See above. Thanks and all the best for 2022.
Good work @dai
Cheers Baron, not much to it really
Great work, dai and a worthy winner. If they hadn’t issued Brighton as well, Stuttgart would have a clear result. At least they weren’t robbed like Lewis. 😉
We should discuss that over tea sometime in the NW of England.
Yes. We should.
I`ll be there but make mine a coffee.
