sladesounds 23rd Mar 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumNilsson - The Point! | I like this album a lot, I don't think it was aimed directly at kids in fact there is a quote from Nilsson that states "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's a point to it.".
Show where a bit of acid can direct you :grin:

sladesounds 22nd Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumBillie Holiday With Ray Ellis And His Orchestra - Lady In Satin | The third instalment of the Jazz On 33⅓ Series, this is the first issue that displays a unique barcode and cat# unlike the previous issues that used the original US cat#'s. We will have to wait and see what format the cat#s will take on future releases.
This excellent album rightly features in the book "1001 Albums you must hear before you die".

sladesounds 10th Feb 2016 | | CD AlbumEinstürzende Neubauten - Lament | The album is a studio reconstruction of a performance piece commissioned by the Belgian town of Diksmuide to commemorate the outbreak of World War I.
Track 1 features lyrics that are not sung, but intended to be read.
Track 3 is a duet between Alexander Hacke, playing Russian Tsar Nicholas II, and Blixa Bargeld, as Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, discussing the diplomatic manoeuvring that lead to war via telegram exchange. The two royals, first cousins by marriage, referred to one another as "Willy" and "Nicky".
The album also includes two songs written by James Reese Europe, musical director of the United States' 369th Infantry Regiment, also known as the Harlem Hellfighters.

sladesounds 10th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumVan Der Graaf Generator - Repeat Performance | Discogs has this listed as 1972 however I think it must be later than that.
The record has "madhatter" labels (scans to follow).
Anyone have any better information on the year of release?
|
sladesounds 8th Feb 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumBlue Mink - Fruity | The final studio album from the band.
Released early 1974, by the end of that year the band had broken up (only to reform in 1976 to record a few 45s on the Target label).

sladesounds 7th Feb 2016 | | CD AlbumThe White Stripes - Elephant | Lee I thought you wanted to go down the line of adding the Aussie CDs separately especially if they had print variations on the cover/tray?

sladesounds 31st Jan 2016 | | CD AlbumSpirit - Clear | No Lee I agree, was being a little facetious, shoulda put a smiley after my opening line :)
I too would say that the album is "Clear" as plainly shown on the LP label scan I linked too. Just surprised at how sites etc. list it as "Clear Spirit".
|
sladesounds 30th Jan 2016 | | CD AlbumSpirit - Clear | Contentious one is this!
This billboard advert says "Clear Spirit" but if you look at the scan of the label here it says "Clear".
Given on Vinyl Album we would go with what is on the label "Clear" seems to be the way forward. What does it say on the CD disc label?

sladesounds 28th Jan 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumMiles Davis - Kind Of Blue | Further to my comment I have just been browsing the publishers italian web page and they have a blues collection and classical collection on the go!
|
sladesounds 27th Jan 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumMiles Davis - Kind Of Blue | I have just listened to my copy and it does sound better than the CD version I already had. It certainly is good enough for me (especially at £4.99).
Just in case you haven't read the small print there is 40 albums in the series being issued at a rate of 2 a month. Seems a great idea but I would love to know what the 40 albums are actually going to be.
What we need now is a similar approach with something like the Vertigo label - that would be cool :) or maybe a World Music on 33 series.
