For me, a classic rock album, one that I never tire of, awesome. How were The Who?

Been busy demolishing/refitting a kitchen for the past couple of months, so not time for any proper relaxation. Did though manage to spin a couple....

I was lucky enough to see them play live when they toured a few years ago. Possibly the finest exponents of British thrash metal at the time in 1989, it is a concept album based on a book by Brian Bates (The Way Of Wyrd) about an Anglo-Saxon sorcerer. Worth a read if you get the chance.
...You know how it is...oh you don't? Well lucky you!
Some recent turntable faves, pop pickers:
Dexter Gordon: 'Gettin'Around' Languid, muscular, tough and tender Dex. An original Blue Note copy of this went for £7,000 a few weeks ago. Ridiculous money; great record.
Chick Corea: 'Piano Improvisations Vol 1.' God, I love this record.
The Byrds: 'The Notorious Byrd Brothers.'
Matthews Southern Comfort: 'Second Spring.' Unerringly lovely.
'The Thelonious Monk Orchestra At Town Hall.'
The Peanut Butter Conspiracy: 'The Great Conspiracy.' Overlooked U S 60's West-Coast freaky loveliness, but not overlooked by me. Thoroughly recommended...if you're a bit of a hippy.
Throwing Muses: 'Hunkpapa.'
The Rolling Stones: 'Beggar's Banquet.' Mono.
Judee Sill: 'Judee Sill.' Only got a copy recently. I've played it to death.
The Church: 'priest=aura'. One of my very favourite favourites. Sublime. Hazy. Damaged. Unwholesome = Perfect. Oooppps.
'That's all for now, folks'...and remember Jim loves you all.

Been after this for a while, so very pleased to pick it up this morning at a car boot.

I wanted to reply, but I was bidding on a copy of the newest album 'Commune', so I didn't want to encourage anyone to possibly bid against me. Anyway, I won the auction. *acute*
I saw them on BBCs Glastonbury coverage, and thought they were right up my street musically. Will look for a reasonably priced copy of 'World Music' next.

I couldn't love you anymore, Jim, that would be an impossibility. *biggrin*
I can't take any credit for keeping the vinyl flame going, as I've abandoned it on occasions. I was worried Charlie had abandoned the forum entirely, so I emailed him directly, and I must admit, this time I thought you might have fallen off your bike, so it's genuinely good to see you on here again. *good*

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – Yanqui U.X.O.
disappointingly, both these 'NM' copies have noisy marks on them. Oh ebay, I despair in you.
Also trying a few of my mother's old folky records:
Alex Atterson – Roundabout
The Battlefield Band – On The Front
Brass Monkey – Brass Monkey
