sladesounds 29th May 2015		CD Album The Who - My Generation (Deluxe Edition) (2002)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 29th May 2015		CD Album The Who - My Generation (Deluxe Edition) (2002)	Have added composer credits, disc cat #'s, sorted out the section breaks & the misspellings etc. Have also added an alternate back cover from my copy and have changed the label from Polydor [UK] to MCA [Europe]. Can't see where Polydor came from.
sladesounds 27th May 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Flashbacks Blue & Lonely	Strange CD, no cat# or date of issue. A mixture of jazz, blues, marches & others all recorded between 1929-1944. The same CD was released on other labels with same name and same tracks such as this one in 2000.
sladesounds 13th May 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Music From And Inspired By The Film Muriel's Wedding (1994)	Frank Caps Lock off for future submissions please :) Can you also follow the guidelines for entering composer credits. I'll amend this entry now for you. Not too sure what you mean by the sizing restrictions - if you have scanned the cover and they are too "big" use a program like Paint.Net to resize the images. Also could you submit the barcode number using the "add missing info" button - makes it easier to ensure that duplicate entries are not being submitted. Please don't let our guidelines (and nudges in the right direction) put you off submitting any more entries - the more the merrier! Steve
sladesounds 11th May 2015		CD Album Arctic Monkeys - Humbug (2009)	[YouTube Video] Arctic Monkeys third album produced in the main by Joshua Homme, Queen of the Stone Age's main man. This was the first album he had produced and although his sound is a lot heavier than the Arctic Monkey's own, this collaboration works well as he allows them to evolve from previous offerings rather than just stamp the album with his imprint.
sladesounds 9th May 2015		CD Album Art Pepper - Modern Jazz Archive (2004)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 6th May 2015		CD Album Passengers - Original Soundtracks 1 (1995)	I think you are right - the "band/collective" is Passengers even though it is known as a Eno/Bono project and shown in lots of U2 discograhies. There is a bit more information available on Wikipedia. As quoted on Wikipedia, Larry Mullins, Jr. (U2 drummer) sums it up when he says "There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record."
sladesounds 30th Apr 2015		CD Album Blind Melon - Soup (1995)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 21st Apr 2015		CD Album Metallica - Kill 'Em All (1989)	[YouTube Video] The true birth of thrash. On Kill 'Em All, Metallica fuses the intricate riffing of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Diamond Head with the velocity of Motörhead and hardcore punk. James Hetfield's highly technical rhythm guitar style drives most of the album, setting new standards of power, precision, and stamina. But really, the rest of the band is just as dexterous, playing with tightly controlled fury even at the most ridiculously fast tempos. All Music review by Steve Huey

sladesounds 5th Mar 2015		CD Album Johnny Cash - Johnny Cash At San Quentin (The Complete 1969 Concert) (2000)	Review [YouTube Video] To put the performance on Johnny Cash at San Quentin in a bit of perspective: Johnny Cash's key partner in the Tennessee Two, guitarist Luther Perkins, died in August 1968, just seven months before this set was recorded in February 1969. In addition to that, Cash was nearing the peak of his popularity -- his 1968 live album, At Folsom Prison, was a smash success -- but he was nearly at his wildest in his personal life, which surely spilled over into his performance. All of this sets the stage for Johnny Cash at San Quentin, a nominal sequel to At Folsom Prison that surpasses its predecessor and captures Cash at his rawest and wildest. Part of this is due to how he feeds off of his captive audience, playing to the prisoners and seeming like one of them, but it's also due to the shifting dynamic within the band. Without Perkins, Cash isn't tied to the percolating two-step that defined his music to that point. Sure, it's still there, but it has a different feel coming from a different guitarist, and Cash sounds unhinged as he careens through his jailhouse ballads, old hits, and rockabilly-styled ravers, and even covers the Lovin' Spoonful ("Darlin' Companion"). No other Johnny Cash record sounds as wild as this. He sounds like an outlaw and renegade here, which is what gives it power -- listen to "A Boy Named Sue," a Shel Silverstein composition that could have been too cute by half, but is rescued by the wild-eyed, committed performance by Cash, where it sounds like he really was set on murdering that son of a bitch who named him Sue. He sounds that way throughout the record, and while most of the best moments did make it to the original 1969 album, the 2000 Columbia/Legacy release eclipses it by presenting nine previously unreleased bonus tracks, doubling the album's length, and presenting such insanely wild numbers as "Big River" as well as sweeter selections like "Daddy Sang Bass." Now, that's the only way to get the record, and that's how it should be, because this extra material makes a legendary album all the greater -- in fact, it helps make a case that this is the best Johnny Cash album ever cut.

sladesounds 28th Feb 2015		CD Album Air - Moon Safari (1998)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] Air's full-length debut, Moon Safari, proved they could write accessible pop songs like "Sexy Boy" and "Kelly Watch the Stars." But it wasn't all pop. The opener, "La Femme d'Argent," was an otherworldly beginning, with a slinky bassline evoking Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson and a slow glide through seven minutes of growing bliss (plus a wonderful keyboard solo). The vocoderized "Remember" relaunched a wave of robot pop that hadn't been heard in almost 20 years, and the solos for harmonica and French horn on "Ce Matin La" made the Bacharach comparisons direct. Unlike most electronica producers, Air had musical ideas that stretched beyond samplers or keyboards, and Moon Safari found those ideas wrapped up in music that was engaging, warm, and irresistible.

sladesounds 26th Jan 2015		CD Album Nick Drake - Tuck Box (2013)	What I liked about this box set was the fact that if you had already bought the digipak versions of the album you could buy the box and the promotion posters on their own rather than buying the music yet again.
