candiman SUBS 4th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Peter Sellers, Joan Collins And Anthony Newley - Fool Britannia (1963)	I found a copy of this in a charity shop the day after the Great British public voted to leave the EU.
candiman SUBS 4th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Ann Odell - A Little Taste (1973)	[YouTube Video] RIP Ann Odell. It seems she has passed, possibly in 2021 judging by a comment on this Youtube entry. (If you expand the comments it is quite possible Bryan Ferry - with whom Ann had some input on some of his albums - commented Ann was the keyboard player in Blue Mink for a time. An album I stumbled upon only very recently. Really like it. Very English early 70s SSW, with a lot of the usual suspects of the time in the credits.
candiman SUBS 24th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Blur - Blur (1997)	Released as a single album and also as a double album. Both in 1997 at the same time?
candiman SUBS 6th Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Todd Rundgren - Hermit Of Mink Hollow (1978)	I have uploaded a scan of a Bio sheet that is included in a my Promo copy. Interesting that it refers to the "recent" Back To The Bars live double album, which according to release dates here was released some 7 months after Hermit Discogs does refer to a reissue of Hermit but my copy appears to be an original.
candiman SUBS 2nd Apr 2024		Vinyl Album Everything Is Everything - Everything Is Everything Featuring Chris Hills (1969)	John Anderson (of Soul Bowl fame) cited this as one of his favourite LPs in an interview he did with Richard Searling in 2014 (good interview which I now can't find on youtube).
candiman SUBS 23rd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Man - Back Into The Future (1973)	Picked up a copy of this recently. The Side 1 and Side 3 labels have a large AL on the label to the right of where it says SIDE.. AL is in black, very neat, in the same or very similar font to that of MAN on the front cover, and looks like it was printed at the same time as the rest of the text on the label. It could be someone's name or initials I suppose but appears too integral to the label to be that.
candiman SUBS 11th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert (1973)	It's the Rainbow Concert cover, the label says it's Eric Clapton's Rainbow Concert but a copy I've recently acquired plays Elvin Bishop - Let it Flow!
candiman SUBS 11th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Performing Ferret Band - Performing Ferret Band LP (1981)	Tracklist order shown is as stated on label. Actual tracklist is as follows: A1 Plastic Macho Man A2 Fizzy Drinks A3 Howler Monkey A4 Lung Cancer A5 Field Of Yellow Flowers A6 The Rush A7 Bar Room B1 Bottle Fruit! B2 Decorations B3 Disco One (II) B4 A Story B5 Fallen Tyrant B6 Nudes B7 Great Duos Of Our Time
candiman SUBS 9th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Axel Fuhrmann - Tropical Ease (1981)	This was well worth £1 at the car boot. The feel of this and the mixture of styles bring to mind 10cc and Ian Dury.
candiman SUBS 8th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Performing Ferret Band - Performing Ferret Band LP (1981)	An interview with bass player Cathy Brooks casts some light on the making of this album, and the cover: https://www.mdmarchive.co.uk/biography/8186/Cathy_Brooks
candiman SUBS 19th Jan 2024		Vinyl Album Jr. Walker And The All Stars - Jr. Walker & The All Stars' Anthology (1974)	A great collection. I have a UK Tamla Motown copy. It must be one of my most treasured albums as I still remember where I bought it - Boosey & Hawkes in Bath mid to late 70s - and I related that fact too, an unbelievable 17 years ago now! https://darcysfeelit.blogspot.com/2007/01/boosey-hawkes.html
candiman SUBS 23rd Dec 2023		Vinyl Album Johnny Bristol - Bristol’s Creme (1976)	[YouTube Video] Never heard this before. £1 spent well, more than worth it for this track alone.
candiman SUBS 14th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Candi Staton - Candi (1974)	Back cover shows a different running order and does not mention the track Your Opening Night.
candiman SUBS 31st Jul 2023		Vinyl Album Associates - The Affectionate Punch (1983)	Back cover lists side 1 and side 2 reversed.
candiman SUBS 30th Jul 2023		Vinyl Album La Danza - La Danza (1983)	Very obscure post-punk. I like it. Laura Croteau was married to Anthony Johnson (Tony Offender) of the Austin group The Offenders. Anthony died in 2012 of cancer. Laura founded Rabid Cat Records, and went on to become a real estate "queen" (info courtesy of the Austin Chronicle , May 14, 2012.
candiman SUBS 28th Jul 2023		Vinyl Album Adam And The Ants - Dirk Wears White Søx (1979)	Do It label is original issue, Woman label is 1980 reissue.
candiman SUBS 2nd Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Ann Williams - First Time Out (1961)	From the back sleeve notes: " "Transistor"-size Ann (four feet, eleven inches, 100 pounds) has the vocal power and energy of three people her size and uses every bit of it in her performances!" "
candiman SUBS 8th May 2023		Vinyl Album Holly Near - Speed Of Light (1982)	A hidden funky gem. Carrie Barton on bass. Sheila E. on percussion. [YouTube Video]
candiman SUBS 1st Apr 2023		Vinyl Album High Voltage - High Voltage (1972)	Band members included Tony Maiden and Bobby Watson who would go on to be key members of Rufus.
candiman SUBS 27th Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Best Of British - Looking Out My Back Door (1976)	They make a fair stab at Summer In The City.
candiman SUBS 2nd Feb 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Sounds Like West Cornwall (1970)	If you are on your hols in Cornwall the price of entry for this album will be cheap, and more than worth it for this track... [YouTube Video]
candiman SUBS 27th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Cameron - Cameron (1980)	Just listed this. Looking at Discogs it seems quite popular at the moment with 6 copies already sold in Jan 2023. Some DJ playing it again, or featured in a film?
candiman SUBS 27th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Jack Fear Big Band - The Jack Fear Big Band At "Yesterday's" (1982)	After commenting on Groove Juice Special earlier this month, picked up today here's another album featuring Frank Fennell on tenor sax. Angela Christian is featured vocalist on some tracks. She toured with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra for a number of years and also sang with the BBC Big Band and the Radio Orchestra. Her voice certainly sounds familiar from days when my parent's would have BBC Radio 2 on in the evenings.
candiman SUBS 25th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Teena Marie - Lady T (1980)	[YouTube Video]
candiman SUBS 25th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Teena Marie - Lady T (1980)	God, this lady could sing. So soulful, and a real ache in her voice. Every time I hear her it brings tears to my eyes. I have never seen her quoted as saying she was influenced by Linda Jones, but there is a definite similarity in style. However, whereas Linda could go over the top sometimes, Teena keeps it reined in just right. Sadly missed.
candiman SUBS 25th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Leo's Sunshipp - We Need Each Other (1978)	[YouTube Video]
candiman SUBS 25th Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Phyllis Hyman - Sing A Song (1979)	[YouTube Video] This album was the only place you could find this track originally. Great track.
candiman SUBS 23rd Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Soul Children - Genesis (1975)	[YouTube Video]
candiman SUBS 23rd Jan 2023		Vinyl Album The Soul Children - Genesis (1975)	Reissue. Originally issued in the UK (and US) in 1972.
candiman SUBS 23rd Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Smokey Robinson - Smokey's Family Robinson (1976)	Nice album, if a little short. Cheap as chips. Picked my copy up still sealed at a car boot last year.
