Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Morrissey - Suedehead	Recordings from 1987 to 1994
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Santana - Woodstock `94	@Lee: Turtle Doves? Is that like Aussie tucker?
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Santana - Woodstock `94	@Beggars: Haggis are a protected species. Black pudding would be more appropriate
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Santana - Woodstock `94	@Beggars: Slightly scant on the artwork front, so I thought I'd scan some xmas crackers. You'd never know the difference. Honest.
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Sex Pistols - Anarchy Live At The 76 Club	The Saints were far too good as musicians to be getting tagged as mere Punks, which they patently were not. They probably were more closely associated with the Pub Rock scene, where unfortunately these bands although celebrated weren't known for selling too many records. At least they made 2 great singles, (I'm) Stranded and (This) Perfect Day, which is more than can be said for most of the rubbish released during that period.
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Paul Simon - Graceland	This CD sounds way better than the Legacy remaster version of a few years back where the whole thing sounded flatlined with no depth or dynamics - a horrible job. I sold that on and this original is my keeper.
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Simon And Garfunkel - The Collection	There was a sticker on the box with the cat # and it's also printed on the back page of the booklet
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Judee Sill - Dreams Come True: Hi • I Love You Right Heartily Here • New Songs	Includes QuickTime CD-Rom 12 minute film from University of Southern California 1973 of 5 songs
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Judee Sill - Abracadabra: The Asylum Years	Track 10 aka Untitled Celtic-Jig
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Sigur Rós - Takk...	and for those that need to know... Takk translates as 'thanks'
Apollo59 5th Aug 2017		CD Album Sandie Shaw - The Best Of Sandie Shaw, Vol. 1 & 2	Track 1: The Rolf Harris Show, BBC TV, 25 February 1967 All others: Town & Country Club, London, 30 June 1986
Apollo59 4th Aug 2017		CD Album Sex Pistols - Anarchy Live At The 76 Club	As it says on the tin: Recorded at 76 Club, Burton upon Trent, 24 September 1976 Recording missing song #3, Seventeen
Apollo59 4th Aug 2017		CD Album Santana - Woodstock `94	@Beggars: Beds are for mere mortals! You just wait and see what I've got to say about some of my wax cylinder collection...
Apollo59 4th Aug 2017		CD Album Santana - Woodstock `94	Probably the most ineptly inaccurate track listing I've ever seen
Apollo59 4th Aug 2017		CD Album Santana - Zebop!	This Columbia label version can't have been released any earlier than 1991
Apollo59 3rd Aug 2017		CD Album Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things	terrible scan
Apollo59 3rd Aug 2017		CD Album Mick Jagger - Goddessinthedoorway	Ah, a touch of the perfectionist within you. Beware, that can be a man's nemesis - as happened with Bryan Ferry and Jerry Hall...
Apollo59 3rd Aug 2017		CD Album Robert Plant And Alison Krauss - Raising Sand	In terms of having a voice, I doubt you'd be able to hear her behind a bus ticket. Check out the DVD's of her with Plant - she's really nothing special at all. But that's a common issue with the majority of US country singers as their voices are so untrained and unable to propel themselves - as per as an example Diamanda Galas.
Apollo59 3rd Aug 2017		CD Album Robert Plant And Alison Krauss - Raising Sand	You'll soon get sick of the mediocrity of Krauss (as did Plant, allegedly...)
Apollo59 2nd Aug 2017		CD Album Mick Jagger - Goddessinthedoorway	Referred to by Keith as 'Dog Shit In The Doorway'
Apollo59 2nd Aug 2017		CD Album Mick Jagger - Goddessinthedoorway	It's safety glass, not dirty glass...
Apollo59 2nd Aug 2017		CD Album Rolling Stones - Blue & Lonesome	Lee, I hear what you're saying but I can't agree on some of your review. The Stones recorded this album over just 3 days in December 2015. By no means was this a big production or of major product standing and I think it's important to know this. It was completely irrelevant to the contemporary music scene. As for the content being highly predictable? I really don't think so. By no means are all the songs classics or well known and I reckon only half of them are such. To compare this with their very first album back in 1964 is ludicrous - they are worlds apart in production values, musical ability and musical knowledge. Jagger's vocals and harmonica playing are exemplary here. The playing is extremely modern in approach and negates any need to imitate the blatant commercialism of the previously mentioned Hooker albums. These recordings are of a band all playing together live simultaneously in the same room - at no time were any performances "flown in" as overdubs. This idea that the Stones songwriting team have been off form for many years is somewhat incongruous, namely because the Stones haven't made a new self-written album since 2005, and have produced just 2 songs for inclusion with their 50th anniversary collection, Grrr! in 2012. This album is really just an example of what the Stones do every time they go into the studio to record a new album. They always hold pre-production jam sessions before proper recording, where they knock around a few ideas and run through old stuff like this just to warm up. Come recording sessions proper, the archive session lists inform that songs such as these pepper just about every session the Stones have recorded these last 50 odd years. The Stones' blues repertoire is immense. See Felix Aeppli - The Rolling Stones - The Ultimate Guide
Apollo59 1st Aug 2017		CD Album The Rolling Stones - Some Girls	Lee, this 2011 remaster does surpass any previous release and noticeably, too. It is very good sound quality. The bonus tracks are just the cherry on the top. Quite why they left off Everything Is Turning To Gold, I'll never know.
Apollo59 1st Aug 2017		CD Album The Rolling Stones - Some Girls	Hi Lee, well, put it this way, it's definitely worth hearing and a few of the tracks are pretty good, such as So Young (which turned up later as a 1994 Voodoo Lounge period B-side), Claudine - a rather cutting attack on Andy Williams' murderous ex-wife, and even the Country tinged (my least favourite Stones music) Do You Think I Really Care is passable. But I don't think they necessarily tarted up all the best tracks available as I have a bootleg with a load more of these sessions - listed here, titled 'Made In The Shade 1978'. That said, if Jagger's objective was to make a selection of all the different types of songs from the sessions then he probably achieved that as they are quite a variety and not just all Rock 'N Roll numbers.
Apollo59 31st Jul 2017		CD Album The Rolling Stones - Some Girls	Lee, you've just proved that without hardcopy evidence the information can go tits up. I don't trust anywhere for information, as so often it is inaccurate. The only accuracy I can trust is what lies physically before me and that's the only information I can enter.
Apollo59 30th Jul 2017		12" Single Patti Smith - Gloria In Excelsis Deo	Yes, it's the sort of bag a grocer's shop would have used in the days before plastic bags.
Apollo59 30th Jul 2017		CD Album The Rolling Stones - Some Girls	No, I never check. I only list as International if I'm personally certain of it and had bought a disc in another territory. I can only list CD's that I own as I find them. I bought this on day of release in UK and wouldn't have a clue about South America or anywhere else and if changes need to be made ie Europe changed to International, I'd like to see hard proof such as a scan.
