If you can't find that the garden variety original pressing will do just fine. My favorite album of all time, including anything by The Beatles, Nick Lowe, the Kinks, The Sprout or Robyn Hitchcock! Don't know why, some records hit you at the right time and when you're in the right frame of mind, I guess, but GS has stayed my favorite since 1993 and has not withered. <br />As for the blog, well, not yet I don't. I will be posting some non-'80's rants, I guarantee that, which will give you "A"-listers a venue to retort. Love that you still have passion for yours, though! Hypocritical it may be, but don't stop writing, dammit, OK?<br />Cheers!

So I'm hopeful you'll be back.<br /><br />As for Andromeda Heights, I don't listen to that one nearly enough. Your suggestion has me thinking I should pull that out today. I always appreciate your suggestions. I still need to track down that album from Boo Radleys.

It&#...Jordan: The Comeback is such a tour de force. It's conceptual without the restrictions of concept interfering with the beauty of the song cycle. Paddy and the band's delivery of even the deepest cuts keeps them as vibrant as the obvious singles.<br />Dolby pulled out all the stops production wise for Jordan. Steve McQueen and From Langley Park To Memphis were in some ways just the overture and prelude to what he brought to Jordan. <br />Looking For Atlantis is one of those tracks you just wish Paddy could duet with his hero Jimmy Webb on. It hits all the right points of reference. In fact in another space and time even Webb disciple Glenn Campbell would have sounded great on Looking For Atlantis.<br />The masterpiece on this masterpiece, for me though, is Carnival 2000. It's bursting at seems and spreads joy in all directions. I have destroyed a set of JBL computer speakers ramping up the volume of this amazing song at my computer on a Saturday afternoon.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-15743983356728727712014-01-10T20:58:10.346-05:002014-01-10T20:58:10.346-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.com
