sladesounds 7th Aug 2017		TV Poldark (2015 - Now)	Review Take away the hype surrounding the bare chested Turner, which the majority of the media initially focused on, this is a historical romp on par with anything broadcast in recent years. I myself am not always a great fan of this type of drama however with its violence, raunchiness, romance, intrigue and humour set against the magnificent backdrop of the Cornish coast this series draws you in and before you know it you are hooked. The characters are well cast and like all good dramas there are heroes, villains, fools and beauties. A well written and well filmed BBC period drama that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. I would recommend that you should give this one a look, I think like me you may be surprised at how good it is. Roll on season 4 in 2018! 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 5th Aug 2017		Vinyl Album The Headboys - The Headboys	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Carter Family - Amercian Epic: The Best Of The Carter Family	Review Issued as part of the American Epic series which accompanies the TV series. On the plus side these are original 78 recordings, restored and remastered using a mixture of analog and digital technology, therefore sounding fantastic. Pressed on 180g vinyl, housed in a heavy stock, soft touch sleeve they are a delight to hold (and listen to). On the down side, no liner notes, incorrect listing on the label (corrected with a printed apology as an insert). Although recording dates and locations are given, simple facts such as composer credits are missing. Personally, with a record of such historical importance as these recordings are, I would like to know more details about the original 78s, such as what were the original cat#s, ideally scans of those 78 labels and details of who the personnel at the recordings were. It would also have been nice for some liner notes explaining to the uninitiated, the importance of the recordings and where they fit in with the evolution of American music (and why). Worth buying - yes. This is classic American music that helped shape the music we listen to today. I just think its a shame that more information regarding the recordings was not made available even as a single page printed insert and really Third Man, how did you miss the track listing error on the sleeve prior to printing? Hope someone got a slap on the wrist for that one! 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 25th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Stardust	Great album (and great film). Don't forget Stray Cats [Stardust] included Keith Moon in the film but I don't think he actually appears on the recordings here. Ringo Starr was in the original film "That'll Be The Day" but turned down the part in the follow up and Keith was quick to volunteer to fill his place. If you haven't seen the film Jim Maclaine (credited with four tracks on this album) is David Essex, Jim being the role he plays in the film..
sladesounds 24th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Eddie And The Hot Rods - Life On The Line	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 24th Jul 2017		12" Single Peter Ulrich - Taqaharu's Leaving	According to that other site this single was issued as a limited edition of 2,500 but several hundred of these were subsequently destroyed in a warehouse flood. [YouTube Video] Peter Ulrich was a member of the band Dead Can Dance
sladesounds 19th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Connie Francis - Connie Francis Sings The All Time International Hits	Where does the extra information being shown in the track titles come from? As it does not appear on the label or on the sleeve it should be listed in the notes if there is specific recording information worthy of being recorded (and details of where it was obtained)
sladesounds 19th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Celebration	Can you confirm the title of this record is correct? It should be "Celebration" based on the cat# but without scans it needs to be confirmed.
sladesounds 17th Jul 2017		CD Album Various Artists - The Old Grey Whistle Test Prog Rock	Yes the "Prog Rock" tag is being a little stretched with this disc. I loved as a teen watching the show. Although a fair few prog rockers made it on the show over the years I remember it introducing me to the likes of Elvis Costello, Ramones, Bob Marley and the New York Dolls all who were definitely not prog rockers :-)
sladesounds 11th Jul 2017		CD Album Hoyt Axton - My Griffin Is Gone	All sorted. Format to be used is; abcdefg SECTIONBREAK track title
sladesounds 4th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Abbey Road	Regarding country of release - Made in Europe does not necessary mean issued for sale in Europe. If someone can confirm they are for general sale elsewhere then yes amend the listing to Europe/International or what ever. The Jazz on 33 series issued by De Agostini have been entered as UK release with a qualifying note stating "Released in UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as a partwork by De Agostini, Vol no. XX in the Jazz on 33⅓ Series." mainly because I believe they are available there but have not yet had any collectors from those countries confirm it. De Agostini are an Italian company but issue stuff worldwide but not necessarily making them available at the same time. A good example is this collection which started a few years ago but I can't get my hands on here in the UK.

sladesounds 28th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello - Mighty Like A Rose	Detail scan of cover variation uploaded showing the UK cat#. Labels, markings on inner sleeve and cover spine all show 7599-26575-1 and are identical to the images already uploaded (including label showing Made in Germany and GEMA/BEIM logo)
sladesounds 27th Jun 2017		CD Album The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds	Added a further European variation of this release. The artwork shows the sub UK cat# of CZ 311 however the main cat# and barcode remains the same. The disc is mark "Made in Holland". As far as I can remember this was bought in Winchester on it's UK release in 1990.
sladesounds 25th Jun 2017		CD Album Dwight Yoakam - Last Chance For A Thousand Years: Dwight Yoakam's Greatest Hits From The 90's	The copy in my collection has identical artwork etc. however it is stamped "For promotional use only..." and has a sticker on the front of the CD jewel case with "Dwight Yoakam Greatest Hits - 14 Songs including 3 New Recordings" and the cat# 2-47389(#1). The alternate cat# does not appear anywhere else on the disc or artwork.

sladesounds 10th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Tape With No Name	Review I first came across this album via the free tape that was given with NME back in 1987. At the time my musical taste was expanding but had yet to understand the attraction of country music and Americana however this selection of "New Country" soon found itself being on constant play that year. Over the years the tape was hidden away but often was dug out and played and always enjoyed, so imagine my joy at finding this a few years ago at a boot sale for I think £1! The album gives a selection of what then was the rising stars of country with a few "oldies" chucked in for good measure. Dwight Yoakam giving it all he's got, the harmony of Sweethearts Of The Rodeo, Randy Travis on the way to fame and fortune and the late great Johnny Cash telling a great story of Hank Williams. You may not be a country fan but this album is good in that it gives you a selection of what was the best around 1987, some have gone on to be huge, some never hit the level many thought they would and some have died along the way but NME got it right when the said this album was farewell to Nash-Trash and hello to the new Hard Core of Country. The chances are you will not find this album (only 750 pressed) but look out for the tape as they turn up quite often. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 10th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Joan Baez - Joan Baez In Concert, Part 2	MM I just picked this album up and you can see the covers/labels on my issue are again made in England (printed by Garrod & Lofthouse) yet a different cover design to yours. Anyone any idea which was used first?
sladesounds 9th Jun 2017		CD Album Everything But The Girl - Temperamental	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 6th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Blue Break Beats Vol. 3	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
sladesounds 5th Jun 2017		CD Album Donny Hathaway - Someday We'll All Be Free	Take your pick on the label for this box set. Although the discs show an Atlantic design I think that they are more for artistic presentation rather than the parent/issuing label. The cover spine gives Warner Music France, the back give Rhino, Atlantic, Warner Music France, WEA, the discs although sporting an Atlantic design, Rhino features in the small print. Given Rhino is the catalogue division of the Warner Music Group for archive releases I have gone with that as the primary label (for now!)
sladesounds 1st Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Charlotte Cornwell - No Excuses	I vaguely remember Charlotte in "Rock Follies" but the TV series "No Excuses" passed me by.
