yvetot-bocage 29th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Aardvark - Aardvark	The mono version is so powerful and cohesive that it looks like it was actually cut as a dedicated mono mix when compared to the often embarassing chaneling of the stereo version. I still like the stereo version notwithstanding but the mono is a revelation.
yvetot-bocage 16th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Red Dirt - Red Dirt	Had two M- copies some 25-30 years ago, one courtesy from Hugo Chavez of Background Records. Those were the days.
yvetot-bocage 13th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Red Dirt - Red Dirt	I think the music in here is fantastic whatever the cover.
yvetot-bocage 1st Oct 2016		Vinyl Album The Move - Shazam	"Beautiful Daughter" being the stand-out track and one of the best The Move ever recorded.
yvetot-bocage 26th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Pete Dello And Friends - Into Your Ears	Of course, my opinion. Otherwise, why should i bother ?
yvetot-bocage 25th Jul 2016		Vinyl Album Pete Dello And Friends - Into Your Ears	Review Flimsy pop songs make this really a bad and boring album. Worst on label. We are a long way from Honeybus. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
yvetot-bocage 19th Jul 2016		Cinema La 317ème Section (The 317th Platoon) (1965)	Rated 9/10 Perhaps the best war film i have ever seen and certainly the best film about the war in Indochine. There is no bloody message or hysterics in here, only a down-to-earth and vivid approach from the progress of a column of local section suppletive Laotian soldiers, French officer and non-commissioned officers through the jungle surrounded and confronted with Vietmin forces. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
yvetot-bocage 19th Jul 2016		Cinema Paths Of Glory (1957)	Rated 1/10 Along with "Full Metal Jacket", this is a real stinker in the Kubrick's filmography. American actors in English language impersonating WW1 French officers is utterly grotesque not least because they do not look or act like any French from any period but the aim of the film is so stupid and preposterous that it is just a pallid anti-war rant bollocks, nothing more. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
yvetot-bocage 19th Jul 2016		Cinema Blow-Up (1966)	Rated 10/10 In my opinion, the one and only potent film about the so-called "Swingin' London" but it plays on so many levels that it goes way beyond that simple tag. London has never been more fascinating than filmed by Antonioni, and Hemmings and Redgrave are at their peak. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
yvetot-bocage 18th Jul 2016		TV The Champions (1968 - 1969)	Rated 1/10 Terrible from start to finish. The acting is awful, the screenplays plain abysmal and the filming is below par. The only good thing being the theme tune. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
yvetot-bocage 26th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Get Happy!	Just a close second to "Imperial Bedroom". How many could have delivered 20 songs of such a calibre on one LP ?
yvetot-bocage 23rd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Imperial Bedroom	One of the greatest albums of all-time, in my opinion. I remember being blown away at the time of its release when i first played it, it was on heavy rotation on my desk for months. After all those years, it still stands out and even more as pure gold.
yvetot-bocage 23rd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Bread, Love And Dreams - Amaryllis	To my knowledge, a mono pressing does exist for the HUMAN BEAST album. I remember seeing it a couple of times, for auction, on record dealers mailing lists about 25 years ago.
yvetot-bocage 22nd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Bread, Love And Dreams - Amaryllis	A top rarity and a great psychedelic tinged folk album. Has connection with stablemates the HUMAN BEAST.
yvetot-bocage 22nd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Ramases - Space Hymns	To my mind, the worst Swirl release together with the GORDON album and the J. DUMMER "Oobleedooblee".
yvetot-bocage 22nd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant	First pressing has the credits label with large Swirl logo and with the VERTIGO lettering at the bottom.
yvetot-bocage 22nd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Gravy Train - (Ballad Of) A Peaceful Man	To my knowledge, the only example (along with UH "Very 'eavy", BS "Master Of Reality" and AC "666") of a fully laminated cover for a UK Swirl release. On the other hand, the German pressing has a matt cover.
yvetot-bocage 22nd Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Gravy Train - (Ballad Of) A Peaceful Man	One of my favourites; though the production is a bit thin and lacking depth, it is so full of elegiac soundscapes counterbalanced by bits of surging heavy and searing parts, making it a timeless piece of work. "Jule's Delight" rules.
yvetot-bocage 21st Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Beggars Opera - Beggars Opera Act One	One of my all-time favourite covers.
yvetot-bocage 21st Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Ben - Ben	Got it, then, but had to part with all those albums that go for insane price by now.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Sweet Apple - Love & Desperation	The front cover looks clearly like a nod to the Roxy Music "Country Life" LP with these sexy though hilarious ladies in underpants.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Cressida - Asylum	Bought a mint archive copy back in '86 for 300 francs (£30) when all those stuffs were still affordable but believe me, it was such a sum at the time.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Gracious - This Is... Gracious!!	Super funky and super trippy. Gorgeous follow-up.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Gracious - Gracious!	Super heavy and super tuneful. Another classic.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Vertigo Annual 1970	The fantastic cover that once epitomised the Vertigo roaster and the genius of Keef. As for the music itself, simply the best sampler ever made.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Pacific Drift - Feelin' Free	Terrific album. Larry Arends was the drummer with Wimple Winch.
yvetot-bocage 19th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Cressida - Cressida	In my opinion, the best progressive album ever recorded as it goes way beyond the progressive tag anyway. It's just a classic album on par with the greatest albums produced in the late sixties and early seventies.
