Lee Wrecker 8th Oct 2016		12" Single Nanker Phelge [The Rolling Stones] - Schoolboy Blues	Review From memory these songs are demo quality studio recordings. Apparently the Stones had to cut a single in order to fulfill their Decca contract. So the Stones recorded these two numbers with lyrics that were so obscene they could never be played on radio or even released at the time. "Schoolboy Blues" later became more famously/infamously known as "Cocksucker Blues". "Andrew's Blues" is a lewd swipe Loog Oldham and Sir Edward Lewis, the then head of Decca. The song was recorded in 1964 with a drunk Gene Pitney guesting on vocals and the equally drunk Stones providing the music. Neither song is particularly great but they do have novelty value and are schoolboy risque by modern standards. So an interesting listen but not much replay value. File with the Troggs Tapes. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Lee Wrecker 15th Nov 2015		12" Single Bryan Ferry - Windswept (1985)	Review Windswept is a fabulous song from the 1985 album "Boys & Girls". The other songs here are from the 1977 "Bride Stripped Bare" sessions and should never have been released but the song Windswept is so good it is still worth tracking this one down. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
