the whistler 8th Sep 2019		CD Album David Gray - Flesh	Review The second album by Mr Gray-before Babylon made his name. This is quintessentially a singer-songwriter /bedsitter sound. If that is your area of interest-I would argue that this is essential. Acoustic guitar based songs about love, heartbreak and optimism. The opener is the only oddity-an attempt to rock out that is of some interest, the rest has a variable tempo but a great, consistent feel. IMHO-his peak. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
the whistler 27th Aug 2019		12" Single Peter Gabriel - Red Rain	Added scan of cover not photo-so you don't get the reflection
the whistler 26th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy	Surely sladesounds version is a UK release?
the whistler 25th Aug 2019		12" Single China Crisis - No More Blue Horizons (Fool Fool Fool)	[YouTube Video] Second track on b side sounds very cinematic and probably not what people associate with the band
the whistler 24th Aug 2019		Vinyl Album The Doors - L.A. Woman	white vinyl
the whistler 24th Dec 2018		12" Single Verve - Gravity Grave (Extended Version)	[YouTube Video] Put this under 'The Verve' but band is 'Verve' up to some time in the 90s when they became The Verve due to contractual issue with the Verve label.
the whistler 23rd Oct 2017		12" Single Primal Scream - Dixie-narco Ep	[YouTube Video]
the whistler 23rd Oct 2017		12" Single Sinéad O'Connor - Gospel Oak	[YouTube Video]
the whistler 23rd Oct 2017		12" Single Sinéad O'Connor - The Emperor's New Clothes (Remix Hank Shocklee)	Think the image on the back should have been the cover
the whistler 22nd Oct 2017		12" Single Van Morrison With The Chieftains - I Can't Stop Loving You	[YouTube Video]
the whistler 22nd Oct 2017		12" Single Van Morrison - Gloria	Love the mis-spelling on the b-side!
the whistler 22nd Oct 2017		12" Single Bob Marley And The Wailers - No Woman, No Cry	With respect to T.o.D.-clearer scans added
the whistler 15th Oct 2017		12" Single The Kinks - Pye Big Deal 4 Tracks: 4 Hits	Added version with PRT label-same cat. Think they bought out Pye.
the whistler 15th Oct 2017		12" Single Jethro Tull - This Is Not Love	Ian Anderson jokingly refers to his 'heavy metal road crew' near the end of 'Jump Start'-a reference to the band winning a Grammy in the hard rock/heavy metal category (ahead of Metallica!). So I have added a picture of the advert Chrysalis put in the press after.
the whistler 15th Oct 2017		12" Single Jethro Tull - Rocks On The Road	Attempted scan of picture disc
the whistler 15th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album UFO - Lights Out	Added scans with blue/white labels- not first press
the whistler 10th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Jethro Tull - Stormwatch	One of the joys of vinyl-sleeve art and this is a cracker
the whistler 8th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Jethro Tull - Aqualung	Added scan showing different address from later issue
the whistler 8th Oct 2017		Vinyl Album Jethro Tull - The Broadsword And The Beast	Added all scans. Best album cover candidate.
the whistler 7th Oct 2017		12" Single Hobotalk - I've Seen Some Things	Gatefold sleeve. Inside is just green and record housed by sliding it in from the centre not the edge. Probably some phrase for this-but don't know it.
the whistler 7th Oct 2017		12" Single H2O - I Dream To Sleep	Cat no scratched out in dead wax was H 20T.
the whistler 7th Oct 2017		12" Single David Gray - Wisdom	Uploaded sleeve-no point in scanning label as mine is a blank white label
the whistler 24th Sep 2017		12" Single David Gray - Birds Without Wings	All scans added. Debut single.
the whistler 24th Sep 2017		12" Single The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary (Long Version)	With respect to 1reason, uploaded clearer and larger scans
the whistler 24th Sep 2017		12" Single Clannad - In Fortune's Hand	[YouTube Video]
the whistler 24th Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Fairport Convention - The History Of Fairport Convention	Added main scans-rest of labels identical. Thinking about scanning booklet
the whistler 23rd Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Fairport Convention - The History Of Fairport Convention	Not sure what to do with my version-has red ribbon and ICD4 on spine, yet cat no on labels is the same. Furthermore side2 has different publisher credits. (Posted above) Matrices are: ICD1 4 A-4U/B-3U with 'Porky' and ICD 2 A-2U/B-3U with 'Pecko'. So must be later version. Do you want rest of scans here?
the whistler 23rd Sep 2017		Vinyl Album The Eagles - Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975	With respect to kab2112 and An6y66 added larger and clearer scans for sleeve and label respectively.
the whistler 23rd Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Cowboy Junkies - Black Eyed Man	[YouTube Video]
the whistler 23rd Sep 2017		Vinyl Album Cowboy Junkies - Black Eyed Man	Review This album followed 'Caution Horses' which had a haunted breathlessness and set the standard pretty high. So this is the classic case of how to follow up a critical and artistic success. The first 4 tracks are a natural progression from the previous platter-there is a more electric feel but the tales of regret, hidden terrors and dreams of escape persist. The lyrics are superb (This life holds it's secrets, like a seashell holds the sea) (woman on the porches comparing alilbis) and the melodies are growers. Then we have the classic carcrash when two artists that you admire collaborate and the result falls between two stools. John Prine is the culprit here, the song (If You were the Woman) doesn't suit his voice and it just drags. This is followed by a clumsy attempt to be Neil Young with loud guitars and obvious words. The B-side is similar-the originals are generally very good, but the song especially written for the band by Townes van Zandt just doesn't fly-it flops.Final cover is absolutely brilliant and the pros outweigh the cons overall. Also nice to have a bit of 90's vinyl when it was basically being dropped by the majors. And yes Margo Timmins is photogenic as well as a top-notch singer. Conclusion-it stays. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
