kab2112 SUBS 10th Apr 2022		Vinyl Album Heads Hands And Feet - Tracks (1972)	Review I bought this album at an outdoor rock festival [Great Western Express] . I had seen a clip of HH&F on the OGWT and liked what I saw. I had borrowed their first album from a friend who raved about them and thought it was OK, but nothing special - but I bought it later. Luckily I had a plastic bag to keep the records dry as it pi**ed down all the time we were there. Every track on this album is very good and it hasn't aged all that much. Great drumming throughout and some nifty guitar work makes it still playable and enjoyable today. In fact I have it on CD with a couple of bonus tracks. Safety in numbers - Hot property - Jack Daniels are among my favourite tracks. I've since seen Albert Lee with the Everly Brothers and Chas Hodges in the 1960's with Screaming Lord Sutch. It still gets a regular spin. Well worth a listen if you can get hold of it. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
kab2112 SUBS 13th Dec 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The MCA Sound Conspiracy (1971)	Amended a typo for composer for track A1 - S. Upton ( not S. Upson). Also added composers for track A6
kab2112 SUBS 22nd May 2021		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records (1958)	I also added the back cover of this issue
kab2112 SUBS 24th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album The Who - Tommy (1969)	Any updates on the lyric booklet that came with my copy when bought new in 1969 ?? I can't seem to find any info on it
kab2112 SUBS 25th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Rush - A Farewell To Kings (1977)	Review I Liked Rush from the (very underrated) first album. I bought all of the albums as they were released. I was blown away by 2112 which was a fantastic album at the time (it hasn't worn as well as some of the others) When "A Farewell to Kings" came out I don't think I played 2112 for a few years. This album has some absolutely brilliant tracks with Xanadu being perhaps my all time favourite Rush track. It also has the concert favourite "Closer to the heart" and every other track was excellent........ Then came "Hemispheres" ..... What more can be said. RIP Neal Peart perhaps the best drummer I have ever seen, and I've seen a few. Several years ago someone relieved me of quite a few LPs - the original of this being one of them, so I bought another. I have a good idea who the thieiving rat was but alas had no proof. 9 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
kab2112 SUBS 9th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Charlie - Fantasy Girls (1976)	Haven't played this for years. I seem to remember that they sounded a bit like early "Dire Straits"
kab2112 SUBS 8th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969)	Just got hold of the 2022 RRPG and looked up this item. I have two copies of this: One I bought new when it was first released and the other I picked up somewhere for a few pennies in a job lot at a Car Boot sale. Both have the matrices for first issues ILPS 9111 A ▼ 2 and ILPS 9111 B // 4 and "Printed and made by E.J. Day, London" on the inside of the gatefolds. The one I bought in the job lot is not in as good condition as my original. I would rate mine as VG+ and Good+. for the other. My original has been played a lot but there are no visual signs on the surfaces. Who would have bought this in 1969 and not played it ????
kab2112 SUBS 15th Jul 2020		Vinyl Album Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell (1980)	Review This album came out after Black Sabbath had faded somewhat by their standards. The early albums with Ozzie Osbourne were excellent and they had started to go downhill after Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Punk had emerged and black sabbath were now “has beens”. Ronnie James Dio had shown his prowess with Elf and with Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow, making good albums especially Rainbow Rising. Dio was the outstanding Vox of that genre, along with the Riff Master Tony Iommi with Geezer Butler and Bill Ward cut this outstanding record. It was Black Sabbath reborn. Every track on it is a gem which still stands up there today. Like many others, I think I have a top ten best albums (which changes back and forth). There are not many where every track is a gem. “Blue” and “Court and Spark” - “Argus” and “There’s the Rub” – “Fire and Water” – “The Last Puff” - “Marauder” along with “Hemispheres” come to mind where every track is as good as the one before or after it. Heaven and Hell comes into that category. Punk had had it’s day, Led Zeppelin had finished as had Lynyrd Skynyrd and new “Hard Rock” bands were up and coming, Van Halen, AC/DC, NWBHM etc. but this album was up there with any of those produced by the up and comers. I’m not saying this is my favourite album – it can be depending on my mood for the day – but it has to be one of my all time favourites. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
kab2112 SUBS 18th Apr 2020		Vinyl Album The Mersey Beats - Mersey Hits (1965)	A few errors here regarding composer credits. Can't see any on the labels or covers.

kab2112 SUBS 15th Feb 2020		Vinyl Album Simon And Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970)	Just been down to the dungeon to dig out my copy of this - turns out I've got three. Checked the labels and covers and my copies are all the same, very much like those uploaded by Getalife but a slightly different layout in terms of spacing on the labels. I've now added them here.
