After months of intense and indeed intensive polling ….
Ok , after me thinking about it for a few minutes ….. the results are in .
The Top 3 Greatest Debut Albums Of All Time :
COMPILATION CORNER
Tonights musical delights shall be provided by the wonderful Tracey , via a 2CD set ( from 2015) jam packed with marvellous solo tracks , remixes and collaborations . i feel this went kinda under the radar somewhat , it deserved better ….🖤❤️
COMPILATION CORNER
I bought this years ago for “Spanish Stroll” but never played the rest of it much ,until last night , absolutely brilliant stuff . I never knew they had a connection to CBGBs in the mid 70s.
This has highlights from their first 3 albums , I’ll be trying more .
🖤❤️
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Vans “Astral Weeks” , Terry Reid’s “River” ,Coltrane “Meditations” are albums I struggled with at the start but eventually came to know and truly love . This one has taken a lot longer but getting there now , it’s a joy
( my Domino 2008 has orig cover but I prefer this)
COMPILATION CORNER
A lovely sub-genre of the Compilation family : the release which compiles full EPs . Ride , Seefeel and MBV have really good ones , as do many others of course , including this beauty …🖤❤️
“ you made me forget my dreams…”
Myriad are the beautiful and moving short stories by William Trevor , truly a master of the form .
I go back to this collection constantly.
Today’s classic was “Matildas England : The Tennis Match“ .
It’s enough to move this aging cynical old bastard to near tears …
Back in the 80s I heard about this old guy who was meant to be good , Neil Young , the only LP in my local (tiny) record shop was his new one Old Ways so I gave it a go , I loved it .
Quite shocked to later find out it was considered a bit shite 😂
Six quid for a comedy night ? You're having a laugh ....
I'll get my coat . . .

Fair play , not for everyone . My cousin did it and what a life he’s got out there , fecking near-mansion with pool etc . Wish I was 40 years younger .
If he’s got qualifications like that he should be looking at Oz and NZ , clamouring for skilled workers .

Maybe I could add my Redskins T shirt to the outfit but it’s pretty damn tight ❤️
Yes , but you have a brain . Most would judge the book by the cover 😁
Naw , folk will think am a Deformer .

Same here !
Being male , 59 , and bald though , probably best to bottle it up 😂

“ oh , she’s like Coney Island
at night , she lights up the sky
but I’m too scared to dance
on those broken hearted beaches of romance ….”

Well , i rate both as a 10 so it would really be nitpicking 😁
Couple of proto punk classics there , Teenage Head in particular being a 10/10
Hype sticker porn …
Her greatest album 🖤❤️
Hard earned but superb away point against the , so called , mighty Camelon . Brilliant display . 🖤🤍❤️
It's silly cunts like him that hold us back , pretending the UK is still a big power and wasting billions on weapons .
Still , it's because he and all his chums are shareholders in those companies I suppose . Still a cunt though .
