BTW, David Gilmour wrote the song "White City Fighting" and is credited as a musician on the album.

Pete Townshend - "White City" |
Pete Townshend - "White City"
Listened to side one at lunch yesterday. Got around to side two today at lunch. I'd forgotten how much I like this record. Er, or should I say "novel"? |
Jimbo Mathus - "Band of Storms" - Just delivered from Amazon today. |
Bow, Wow, Wow - "I Want Candy". The original LP I bought back in 1982. Good Times, Good Times........
|
"White City" - Pete Townshend
Listed to it again at lunch today and I'm listening to it again tonight. Man, I love this record! I had totally forgotten how much I liked this while I survived the last several years without a turntable. Now that I'm playing vinyl again, I'm going back through the old collection, as well as buying new stuff. I bought this 1985 album back when it was first released. I think I like it more now than I did back then. And that's saying a lot....

astro58go,
Agreed. Most people who only know Boz Scaggs from his radio hits don't really know Boz. The hits were OK, and certainly better than much of the stuff from the same era. However, they are a minor portion of his overall output and they weren't my favorites from him. |
Lunchtime listening.........
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
|
Nazareth - "Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll" |
Pat Metheny Group - "American Garage"
|
Dave Mason - "Certified Live". First pressing - Double Live LP. "Certified Live" no studio overdubs. Excellent Album from 1976. Killer performance.....
|
For lunch today I played side one of Rush's "Hemispheres". What an epic!
|
The J Geils Band - Live "Blow Your Face Out" House-Party Rockin'.....
|
Just got in from a 4 day long weekend ski trip and found the LP "Underground Soul" from Houston Person was delivered while I was gone. (Thanks USPS). I found a nice original 1967 mono pressing on eBay and got it for a song IMHO. Anyway, put it on and was very impressed.
For any of you soulful jazz fans out there, Houston Person is THE man. Check out the song "Underground Soul" from his debut 1967 album or his solo on Joey DeFrancesco's - "Live at the 5 Spot" on "Moonlight in Vermont".
Great stuff......
|
The Smithereens - "Especially For You" |
Robin Trower - "Long Misty Days"
|
photodusty,
I love "All This Useless Beauty". Great album. I just bought tickets to see Elvis Costello this summer on the "Imperial Bedroom and Other Chambers Tour". Can't wait. Got great seats. Just saw Elvis late last year at the Ryman Theater in Nashville. Almost Holy experience......

Paul Simon - "Still Crazy After All These Years" |
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - 1999 Remixed Songtrack LP. I just picked this up today, and I love it.

James Mcmurtry and the Heartless Bastards - "Live in Aught Three"
|
Dave Mason - "Along Together" MCA11319 Re-Issue on 180 Gram vinyl. Very nice!
|
@bdp24 ,
Thanks, I made a typo in my post. Of Course it is "Alone Together. The MCA Re-Issue is solid black. It does sound great. |
@slaw ,
Nope. My Yellow Submarine Songtrack LP is on heavy black vinyl. |
Went to my local record store today and picked up the following in the used bins:
Gary Wright - The Dream Weaver
Gerry Rafferty - City to City
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love
Paid $3.99 -$4.99 for each. All are in excellent condition and sound pretty fantastic. I've listened to them all this evening. I love my local record store......... |
Gerry Rafferty - City to City |
Nazareth - "Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll"
|
James Mcmurtry and the Heartless Bastards - "Live in Aught Three" .... Again. So Good.......
|
@slaw - The Jame McMurty record is a winner IMHO. I'm a huge fan of good Alt-Country and Americana and this one pushes those buttons.
I like "City to City". I'm not thrilled with the sound quality. It sounds a bit thin and the production is nothing special. However, I like the music very much, so I tolerate it.
Happy Weekend! |
On the TT tonight.....
Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live - Analogue Productions Re-Issue - Nice!
Pete Townshend - White City - 1985 original pressing
Pete Townshend - Face The Face / Hiding Out 12" Single - This includes the extended live version of "Face the Face" from the short movie - White City
|
@slaw - I've got Ryan Bingham's - "Mescalito" on CD. I've only listened to it once, then put it on the shelf for a year or two. I'll try to re-visit it in the next couple of days and let you know what I think of it.
|
@slaw - Thanks for the reminder regarding Ryan Bingham. I played "Mescaline" last night and I'm listening to it again tonight. It's fantastic. Great Alt-Country/Americana. And the CD recording is very good. Right in my wheelhouse.....

|
Focus III - Cool stuff. Not quite sure what genre this falls in. Is it Prog, Fusion? Don't know, but I'm digging' it....
|
@bdp24 - Nope, never saw Dwight Twilley Band. But based on your description, I wish I had seen them....
|
The Smithereens - Especially for You |
Joe Jackson - Night and Day |
What's on my turntable "this morning"?
I'm auditioning a couple of audio components, so I pulled out a couple of high quality records for the initial auditioning.
Huge Masekela - Hope
I played the Analogue Productions 180Gr 45 rpm double LP. Of course, it sounds excellent. Really one of the finest sounding LPs I've heard. And musically - the band was spot on.
Dave Mason - Alone Together
I played the 1995 MCA Heavy Vinyl Remaster. Very nice. Great album and this LP is a very nice version of it. Found a new copy in the bin at Half Price Books. It was a great find.....
