Re: What vinyl are you listening to?

 

 I genuinely like "Neither Fish Nor Flesh"

 

and think it is far superior to his first album.

Seriously, check it out, you might be surprised.

It is a little pretentious, but has some great tunes, particularly "I Have Faith In These Desolate Times" and "To Know Someone Deeply Is To Know Someone Softly"

Got my copy at a car boot for 50p, so if you see it for that price, why not try it.

And they're always in great condition, because nobody ever played them.

I managed to seee Paladin in the early 70s but not anywhere as big as MFTH. Did the drummer do a solo using the stage as well as drums or was that a different band.Also seen Sha Na Na, Have you seen any of the 3 bands I've played tonight,all off 180gr vinyl.  Lynyrd Skynyrd "Second Helping" Thin Lizzy "Jailbreak" And Supertramp "Breakfast In America"

Never been a big fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd or Supertramp so never been to see them live. Funnily enough as I've got older a lot of the well known Supertramp singles have really grown on me.

 

In my heyday of regular gigging Thin Lizzy are the one band that I never went to see live that I deeply regret to this day. I was always a massive fan of the band but due to various circumstances I never got to see them live though there were umpteen opportunities.

Top, top band.

 

Going back to the Paladin gig, I'm afraid it's so long ago that I can't remember anything about it. However last year I was listening to Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on 6 Music and he played a track by Paladin "Give Me Your Hand" off their Charge album. It was really good, so much so that I bought the CD. It's rather good, definitely of it's time but that's what I like anyway.

Time for a re-assessment then methinks. I'll give it a spin on Spotify later, see what i reckon now.
