    First LP I ever bought (17/6d in Smiths in Portswood if I recall correctly) - loved it then and still have it. Unlike the Beatles stuff I’d heard on the radio, though, it took a bit of getting in to ..... but it’s a great album - probably not their best imo, but still brilliant <cool>

    Think it was the 3rd or 4th I ever bought, though I didn't buy it in 1969, but 1971. I listened to my brother's copy for nigh on two years. Cost me all of £1.99 then. Decimalisation - It wasn't going to harm the pound in your pocket. Err, not much.

    The first album I ever bought with my own money was On The Threshold of a Dream. And I did pay with LSD for that ;):

    Fantastic album. I remember lying in a dark room listening to that and being totally blown away. Think they were very underrated in the “Prog” mode - very good musicians too.

    This one is for Ides, and it's purely about the days ahead. Your Time Is Gonna Come. No, not Led Zep, but Sandie Shaw:

    And another Smiths song from another great female voice, this time with just the unmistakeable guitar of Johnny Marr...

    All these aging rockers should form a supergroup called Gerry and the 'Atricks.

    McCoy Tyner - RIP

    Always loved his contribution to this ballad from Joe Henderson's seminal "Page One." album...

    Complete change of pace. Steel Pulse and Macka Splaff.

    I remember walking into a club [maybe called the West Indian Club?] down off St Mary's. I think it had been a chapel or something but it has since been built over. Anyway, I heard this track being played on the DJ's setup. It wasn't hugely loud, just a nice realistic volume. But the bass was so low and so forward in the mix that my entire midriff was being vibrated every time the bass notes were hit, and I was yards away from the massive speakers. To this day it reminds me of a story I heard about a riot preventative measure that was considered and experimented with. It involved producing low bass notes at quite high volume, but were barely heard. Those people who were in the firing line immediately needed to relieve themselves or were sick. Does anyone know about that or did I simply imagine that story?:
