Rugd1022 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 This has long been one of my favourite Small Faces tracks, an instrumental they recorded in '68, it sounds great when cranked up in the car... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know enough about Steve Marriott as I probably should do apart from the fact his vocal prowess got me into The Small Faces and latterly Humble Pie, but was he the driving force in the music as well as the lyrics?

Classsix T Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Pretty good haul at Ipswich's 'Out of Time' half price Chrimbo Limbo half price sale (an annual tradition of Dad and I, postponed during various pandemic restrictions). Three Creedence Clearwater Revival CDs (meaning I do actually own some rather than relying on streaming music I should have had for some years), plus a twin CD of Elvis Costello's best. Additionally, Whistle-Just Buggin and an unknown Canibus track on 12". Dad picked up three music DVDs including a cracking Old Grey Whistle Test compilation. 20 quid...bosh! Prudent to know what you want - where you want it, I'd earlier shopped at HMV on the main drag and came out with a Public Enemy vinyl LP I didn't have in my collection and, good for them, an Ipswich hip-hop artist's vinyl ep (upon which I was willing to take a punt on not being sh!t). Plus three movies on Blu-ray, Sexy Beast conveniently being aired on Film4 the day after to spare me the hassle of taking the shrink wrap off (there better be some decent extras on that sucker!).

I suppose as vinyl has had something of a resurgence lately folks younger than ourselves will shop there. I think it's terrific HMV are carrying more vinyl, but it is priced at 21st century money. If I know I can get something at a charity shop or pre-owned... that's where I'm going. C6T. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that the shop is still trading. Andi In my younger days it was something of a hunt for quarry in Ipswich. Whilst hip-hop was charting you'd go to Our Price first, bargain bins for knock-offs and the imports bin for rarities. Then off to Andy's, more choice selection there, all the classics. If you couldn't find it new in either of those it was off to Record & Tape(!) Exchange and then Out of Time. When Our Price and Andy's were on the wane I'd discovered Rex Records that really did do an eclectic selection of imports, as did Spin Dizzy. Fortunately for me I was day release in Colchester at the time and regularly going to Yorkshire once a year so indulged my vinyl mining further.

Classsix T Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Remembered this one lately, it's a Hip-Hop banger...but jeez, the Hammond organ hook (lifted from The Champ by The Mohawks) is earworm gold. And I'm still unsure how I feel about the pilfering of Blondie lyrical melodies but then KRS has done it throughout his music career: C6T. Sorry.

RMweb Premium Torper Posted February 12, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Having attended our village's rather belated but neverthless excellent Burns Supper last night, I couldn;'t resist putting this on. I didn't think anything would ever beat Eddie Reader's version, but this is certainly on a par with it: It's a sad, sad song of farewell. Some may find the lyrics helpful: Ae fond kiss and then we sever Ae fareweel, alas for ever Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee Who shall say that fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me Dark despair around benights me I’ll ne’er blame my partial fancy Nothing can resist my Nancy For to see her was to love her Love but her, and love for ever Had we never loved sae kindly Had we never loved sae blindly Nor never met, nor never parted We would never have been so broken-hearted Fare thee weel, my first and fairest Fare thee weel, my best and dearest Thine be like joy and treasure… Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure Mmm, ae fond kiss, and then we sever Ae fareweel alas, for ever Deep in heart-wrung tears I’ll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I’ll wage thee Edited February 12, 2023 by Torper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeysarefun Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Buttons, our house Budgie headbanging along to "(I'm) Stranded" by The Saints. He has a fondness for old school Oz rock (The Angels, Midnight Oils first 3 albums etc) as well as alternative bands like Quiet Marauder, Hahn, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, et al. Our other inside bird, Gary The Parrot prefers The Trucking Song sub-genre of Country and Western, he is a disappointment to us.

Funny you should mention that, I'm currently listening to Joni Mitchell's 'Turbulent Indigo' (on which he plays) for the same reason. His work on the title track, in particular, sounds very 'Heavy Weather' 😎 RIP Wayne. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir douglas Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) recently found out about a channel called The First Take owned by Sony Music Japan, they get on many small and big names not just in Japan but some westerners too. the Artists only get 1 take without a practice, if they or any of the backing musicians make a mistake it gets published as it is https://www.youtube.com/@The_FirstTake/videos i only know of it from about a month ago because of Suisei's appearance, its a banger and no wonder it now has 10 million views.
