Re: Your favorite EC album and why.
At the end of the vinyl LP there's prolonged cheers and someone shouts a phrase I can't decipher followed by "Elvis is King" just before an MC says "Ladies and Gentlemen, that's all for tonight". It just makes the whole show seem more unique, just like Yee-haw man !

Bugger , krm is right too, El Mocambo. As always depends partly on mood. GH will always be my number one but on certain occasions different favourites occur. B&C is great if I'm in a foul mood, Terror And Magnificence is a favourite when I'm working alone at night !! along with North in the wee ...

Hey, krm, that's what I still dream of finding in old record shops even now !Be careful SL. You might end up with an old school bootleg. Including printing errors, wrong songtitles and forged pictures

Of course, we'd willingly pay for an official copy and as BA says, especially $30 for a vinyl copy !

Re: What is 'The Beat' about ?
So if it is about wanking, what does the stuttering rhythm mean - it's not like slowly building to a climax (pun intended) , and the little instrumental bit ( especially noticeable on live performances between 1977-79) all have a sort of staggering movement. I don't want to proclaim or indeed infer ...

Re: Mobile Fidelity to re-release Get Happy
I've got the promo double "EP" set of get happy on vinyl which I think has 5 songs a side ( makes my simple mathematical brain look rather good the way i divided 20 by 4 there !) but I've only played it once since I shelled out a kings ransom for them back in the late 80s at a record fair....

Took Mrs.Sulky for a belated birthday present to De Montfort Hall, Leicester last night for her second gig of the year watching UB40. Confirmed my opinion of them in 1984 (or1983) when I saw them at The Cornwall Coliseum, St. Austell - dreadful. An audience who screamed when the title of a song was ...

Re: A Holiday Album? It seems like an inevitability...
I couldn't wait until November when I could play Christmas In The Heart - I so love that album though probably for all the wrong reasons and I had been brought up to believe only King's College, Cambridge were the only performers fit to record Christmas music !
