Hi Chris, a nice eclectic mix, however I am very surprised you dissed the Stray album 'Saturday Morning Pictures' !! It's a masterpiece, not a filler track at all and no it isn't 'blues' its straight ahead well-constructed British 70's rock, leagues ahead compared to the blandness of their earlier albums. One needs to listen to the album thru, it is so well segued, produced, recorded and musically executed. Great guitarwork and some beautiful off-beat drumming.......
I certainly will play it a few times. I did call it blues hard rock with excellent guitar. Only played it once in 20 years! I prefer their debut though. Thanks for watching my friend, Chris
Very interesting Chris I would like to pick up on the Stray album I saw them many times in the 70's fantastic live band, the track Our Song is one of my favourites from the 1970's played so many times. I saw Stray in the 90's I was talking to them in a break at the bar. I said about liking Our Song and they played it for me in their set. A big moment for me 🎸⚡
Thanks, Chris, the Magazine album is really good, but 'Secondhand Daylight' is unique in the atmosphere it creates, a classic. I know you are a big Deep Purple fan, and will be pleased they have released their 23rd studio album, incredible that they started in the 1960's, however, i don't think they spent too long on the minimalist cover art.
Julian Cope has written a couple of large books on prehistoric monuments of Britain and Europe, he is an expert on the subject, which he combines with his musical outputs. He is into leylines as well and how they allegedly connect sacred places in straight lines.
Thank you Chris for another joyous video and thank you for highlighting one of my favourite ever albums by magazine you mention John mcgeoch what a guitarist he was with such a unique sound so underrated have a wonderful evening mate I can’t wait for your next video 👍
@@nainoswad2725 anything to do with John mcgeoch is listenable mate the banshees stuff the armoury show which the album is very listenable and for me definitely underrated sadly dies in 2004 rest in peace John 🙏
@@stevewatson2026 I saw Magazine live several times, only Stuart Adamson matched the 'Yamaha Magic'... oddly enough My Tulpa remains my fave. Really appreciate Chris's channel and vids, it gets me searching on my racks here (been collecting since 1973!) Regards, Ian.
@@nainoswad2725 only ever saw them once and I was (partly wasted 🍻) around 2005 or something the forum in Kentish Town what I remember of it was really good sat behind Tim and jeremy vine and queued at the bar behind jeremy is something I remember 😂
Well I had me list of 1970s singles ready. So you do something different. Well I chose some lps you may have heard of Bob Young - in Quo country The Nice - Elegy Kevin Coyne - Santy stomp 2 lp Snafu White Lightnin ELP - brain salad surgery Laurie Anderson - Mister Heartbreak Bloodstone- natural high Funky Junction - play a tribute to Deep Purple Mindbenders includes groovy kind of love Seeds - life of sound Cruising with Ruben and the jets See what I did, I missed out the obscure ones
Smashing choices Chris, that UK album is a must. Saw Stray(and Stackridge) many times! I played Deaf School and City Boy the other night polytechnic memories of the 'Buttery Bar'. Enjoyed immensely the Blues video also... The SRV album is unbeatable. As always, thank you. Ian.
Excellent selection of albums of bands and albums that I love the teardrop explodes Kilimanjaro is to me a darn neat perfect album and I like Wilder their second album to and Julian cope solo Im a fan of as well, magazine love their first 3 albums and correct use of soap has some of Howard Devoto's finest vocal performances and UK they had 2 fantastic and also very different albums and Eddie Jobson is among one of my favorite keyboard players also check out his 1983 solo album the green album it's my favourite Eddie Jobson album
@@TheVinylOrchard yeah Julian copes solo stuff is not for everyone however Kilimanjaro is just that magical album where everything just came together so hard to pick a favorite song so a few that I like are haha I'm drowning, sleeping gas, gone crazy, thief of Baghdad and when I dream
Hi Chris, again an interesting assortment. In relation to Laughing Lenny I still like a comment I heard many years ago that 'Leonard Cohen is to depression what Colonel Sanders is to chicken'. Great to see Rose Tattoo get a mention. They were one of the first really good bands I ever saw live. The first number they played was Astra Wally. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Also managed to see Dr Feelgood in a pub in Sydney late 70s/early 80s. Wilko had left the band but a bloke called Gypie Mayo took his place and he was really good. I must say I envy you for the great bands you have seen over the years. I did have a copy of the UK album and I can't recall ever playing it! I'll have to see if I still have it and give it a spin.
Great quote! Astra Wally is classic rock n roll. Love it. Have seen loads of bands. I’m the right age but I never saw Dr Feelgood sadly. Cheers my friend, Chris
Candy-O is a hell of a good album, in addition to being a hell of a good second Cars album. Definitely proved they were no fluke. If I put this disc on, I usually listen to the entire thing.
Hi Chris, still no Showaddywaddy then 😂. I remember seeing Magazine in 78 they were great live. Would love to have seen Dr Feelgood, got a few of their records, Lee Brillo was a great loss in my opinion. The Cars, My Best Friends Girl on picture disc which I bought the very day it came out cos I heard John Peel play it. But c'mon... Howard Jones😮
Good to see that you have got the Warhorse album. I have reissue on vinyl which i bought in 83 (when i was listening to all things connected to Purple eg Green Bullfrog, Elf etc). However when they reissued the album they changed its name to Vulture Blood. It is a good album with the stand out track, Burning. The guitar by Jed Peck sounds very like Blackmore. It strikes me as if Warhorse were, in terms of sound, slightly behind the curve of Deep Purple MK2, Black Sabbath and Led Zep. Even though Simper plays well on this album, i can see why Blackmore preferred to have Glover. In 1970 Glover was a more rocky/progressive player thsn Simper. By the way i have listened to latest Deep Purple album once. It's OK but really for me, they lost their excitement after Burn. Mind you i am one of the few who likes Come Taste the Band (apart from the awful nsmr and album cover)!
@@DamienCalnon-uq7zj hi Damien. I am deep purple mad. Have got that vulture blood reissue and various cds too. Nice to get an original. DP are my favourite band but my real passion for them lies in the pre 76 era. I have collected all their other stuff that Mark 23 and 4 remained my favourite I am very long way. I love come taste the band and really enjoy Tommy bolin solo material Cheers my friend, Chris
@@TheVinylOrchard Bolin's playing on Spectrum by Billy Cobham is so good. Incidentally, I saw Purple play twice - Knebworth and in 87. I also saw Rainbow in 83. Blackmore is my favourite rock guitarist but I was slightly disappointed at all 3 gigs. I think Blackmore's sound live became a bit muddy after he left Deep Purple. However I would take this anytime over the too clinical playing of Steve Morse..
@DamienCalnon-uq7zj never thought Morse was a great fit for Purple tbh. Of all Morse era songs only Makes Me Feel Like Screaming makes it in top 30 or so.
A collection is made all the better by the anomalies it contains. Most of mine came from the bargain bins of Woolies based on the premise that every album must have at least one good tune on it, hence the likes of Nik Kershaw, Wendy & Lisa gathering dust on my shelves 😂 Those Talking Heads & Teardrops albums get regular outings though, love Burning down the house & When I dream. Been too long since i listened to Dr Feelgood, they were tremendous 👍 Saw John McGeogh a few times, hre was great in the Banshees but the last time I saw him live was with Pil, he was just awesome a whole level above what I'd seen him before, the whole band were, great night.
I've always wanted to love 'Comes a Time' but I always find it a bit cloying somehow although the songs are clearly good.. Really like that UK record though have to be in the mood for AH!
Enjoyed Comes a time more than I remembered hence I haven’t played it for so long. I’m not often in the Mood for AH tbh. Find his sound harsh on the ears tbh although I appreciate the technical prowess. I just need more melody generally than he offers.
Why do albums you love fall through the cracks of your memory 🤔 I wondered that recently and revisited a few of them. Genesis I hated it Steve winwood I hated it Frank Zappa this isn’t as good as I remember. Captain beefheart it was great finally 😂 King crimson I hated it ELP what was I thinking 😮 Tom waits I loved it AC/DC hated it 😮 That’s it, I’m not gonna ruin my memories any more. 😂
@@alanduff8737 some music (well most) dates. It is of the time quite often and when you’re not in that time it can sound decidedly shit I find. The opposite is true too. Some stuff I never got at the time Now I do. Joy Division is a good example for me
I loved Joy Division from the start. Like you say, some music is of its time, and some dates shockingly. But then, there’s stuff I never tire of,Ramones debut,Cabaret Voltaire Throbbing Gristle Cypress Hill All very different, you never know what will become old friends, and what you’ll cross the street to avoid.😂
I still listen to The Correct Use of Soap quite a lot, my favourite part is McGeogh's guitar feedback solo on 'Philadelphia'
JM was very good
Good selection Chris - Dr Feelgood Malpractice is just brilliant - Thanks for posting
Cheers Jonathan. Great LP!

Not the greatest cover but then again most of their covers are rubbish.

Didn’t know that. Speaking of leylines I went up Glastonbury Tor again today. Magical and spiritual place.
Cheers sir. Will play a few on the way to work …
Enjoy. Bit variable in quality mind!
