what are you listening to now

[The Shadow]

Stupidity by Dr Feelgood.

This 1976 chart topping live album is a hoot!
Side one was recorded at Sheffield City Hall.
Side two was recorded at the Southend Kursall.
A ropey recording in both venues but you can tell them apart.
Southend sounds a bit cleaner and less echoey (probably a smaller venue than the City Hall)

Full of atmosphere and good time R&B vibes from a pivotal point in an era
when most pop music was utter bilge.

It wasn't long after this album hit big that Ian Dury, Eddie and the Hot Rods, The Kursall Flyers, Rocky Sharpe and the Razors, The Clash, The Radio Stars etc began to see some action. Pity Malcolm Mclaren and his followers' antics had to bugger most of it up.

Bach - The Goldberg Variations - Glenn Gould.
Marvellous, but I've developed a strange craving for liver with some fava beans and a big amarone.

Bought three of their's at the same time, from Penny Lane Records in Chester. They cost less than a fiver each, and sound ok.
