sladesounds 10th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Nirvana - Nevermind	Also issued on red, pink, white and black vinyl all with same cat# and barcode #. Originating in Europe these were not official DGC releases.
sladesounds 9th Sep 2015		Vinyl Album Alice Cooper - The Alice Cooper Show	During the early '70s, the original Alice Cooper put on amazing live shows, cranking out mega-decibel hard rock anthems and combining theatrics with high-energy performances. But after the band split up in 1974, Alice went in a much more theatrical direction, almost as if the music were secondary to the live performance. Despite the fact that the original band excelled in a live setting, a live album from the era was never issued; AC's first live release turned out to be 1977's Alice Cooper Show. The album wasn't culled from the best performances of his most recent tour; instead it was limited to a pair of shows at the Aladdin Hotel in Nevada. Alice was still in the throes of alcoholism, and all the contributing factors add up to a largely lackluster live collection. Sure, such classics as "Under My Wheels," "Eighteen," "Billion Dollar Babies," and "School's Out" benefit from a crowd's presence, but the production and the performances are pretty darn flat and uninspired throughout.

sladesounds 2nd Sep 2015		TV Blackadder (1983 - 1989)	Neil whilst everyone has an opinion I must disagree with your earlier comment on Rowan Atkinson and offer a counter argument. Although not my favourite comedian by any means I respect the longevity of his career and the influence he has had on others. Now Mr Bean and his later movie I rarely rate at all however his role in these series', in my opinion (and only an opinion), put him well above his contemporaries at that time and secured his place in the British comedy annals. My favourite of the series, Goes Forth, initially raised concerns that it may have trivialised the Great War however it went on to win the 1989 British Academy Television Award for best comedy series. Although written by that stage by Richard Curtis & Ben Elton, Rowan's portrayal of Blackadder, alongside Tony's Baldrick and Hugh Laurie's George made the series. I am glad to see that it has been widely reported that Rowan & Tony have *a cunning plan* to return for a new series although they are worried if they can afford Hugh Laurie given his superstar status (and wage packet) acquired from the success of "House".

sladesounds 24th Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Rita Marley - Who Feels It Knows It	I think looking at the first track on this album R. Marley in the composer credits relates to Rita rather than Bob's first name (Robert)
sladesounds 21st Aug 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Ozzfest	Apologies for the lack of composer credits but I can't read the small print on the CD case! Will have to invest in a magnifying glass.
sladesounds 14th Aug 2015		Cinema Get Hard (2015)	Rated 7/10 Not a bad money. Predictable story line & predictable acting from Will Ferrell but nevertheless funny and lots of belly laughs without the normal gross out scenes that some American comedy insists in having. Lots of stereotypical roles, greedy bankers, black gangbangers, white supreme power gangs and Mexican immigrants working in rich peoples home but the butt of the jokes is Will's role as the rich WASP. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

sladesounds 1st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Crosby, Stills And Nash - Daylight Again	Review [YouTube Video] Although Crosby, Stills & Nash had, in effect, been together for well over a decade when Daylight Again (1982) was issued, it was only their third studio long-player of concurrently new material. Initially, the project began as a collaborative effort between Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, as David Crosby was descending into a self-induced state of perpetual drug dependency. However, Crosby was included, although arguably in name alone, and his hauntingly lyrical "Delta" stands as one of his finest contributions. Perhaps the most telling element in the trio's state of affairs was the addition of the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit and CSN band member Mike Finnigan on vocals throughout. Despite that obvious setback, the other two primary namesakes supply some genuine and uniformly excellent material to the proceedings. Among the most notable are Nash's "Wasted on the Way" -- which was lyrically an ode to the status of the group's union -- and Stills' collaboration with the Curtis Brothers on "Southern Cross." Both were extracted as singles and became among the best-known tracks not only on Daylight Again, but also in the post-'60s CSN canon. The disc also includes a few thoroughly affective ballads such as "Song for Susan" -- which Nash wrote for his spouse -- and Stills' equally emotive "You Are Alive." By contrast, the album's opener, "Turn Your Back on Love," as well as "Too Much Love to Hide" and "Since I Met You" are all up-tempo, full-throttle rockers co-composed by Stills, and include some of the guitarist's most blistering fretwork under the CSN moniker. The disc concludes with Stills' lone solo composition on the album -- a two-part track marrying the newly penned Civil War elegy to a chorus of the 1970 anthem "Find the Cost of Freedom." Again, Crosby's absence is noted with the incorporation of Art Garfunkel's vocals where Crosby's should have been. AllMusic Review by Lindsay Planer ✔︎ Helpful Review?
sladesounds 1st Aug 2015		Vinyl Album Crosby, Stills And Nash - CSN	[YouTube Video] The music here is very good, though probably not up to the hard-to-match level of Crosby, Stills & Nash or Déjà Vu. Still, the songs showed a great deal of lyrical maturity and compositional complexity compared to those earlier albums (from a far more innocent time). "Just a Song Before I Go" was the latest of Graham Nash's radio-friendly acoustic numbers, and a Top Ten single. "See the Changes" and "Dark Star" ranked with the best of Stephen Stills' work, while David Crosby contributed three classics from his distinctive oeuvre: "Shadow Captain," "Anything at All," and the beautiful "In My Dreams." Nash's multi-part "Cathedral," a recollection of an acid trip taken in Winchester Cathedral on his 32nd birthday, became a staple of the group's live repertoire. CSN was the trio's last fully realized album, and also the last recording on which the three principals handled all the vocal parts without the sweetening of additional voices. It has held up remarkably well, both as a memento of its time and as a thoroughly enjoyable musical work. - All Music Review by Jim Newsom
sladesounds 21st Jul 2015		78 RPM The Stargazers - John, Jacob, Jingleheimer Smith / She Loves To Rock	A pick-up of vinyl today resulted in being given a free box of 78's. Unfortunately this disc was in several pieces but the labels were good enough to scan for the site.

sladesounds 20th Jul 2015		CD Album Kraftwerk - The Man•Machine	I have not been able to accurately tie down a release date for this disc however based on the matrix number on the disc it appears to have been pressed post 1995. Cat# on spine, rear cover and disc all differ.
