Lady Blackburd, black acid soul. Had to do more work this evening. Not much time left in the day. This stellar album is getting me into the right spirit effectively. :relaxed:

Radio Garden.

I know I’ve posted this here before, but It’s worth another shout.

Worldwide radio stations, accessed using a fun interface, albeit in fairly low res.

@Dreadatthecontrols … … … Right now I’m tuned into Alpha Boys School Radio … Selecta!

The Stones - Let It Bleed sacd.

Following a poke in the ribs from @AlanP last week, I don’t seem to be able to stop playing this.

Yes, the sacd really is that good, with the best version of “Gimme Shelter” ever.

Heard the track ‘Teeth’ as incidental music on a recent tv show so giving them a stream, definite Underworld vibe to them.

It Bites - Eat Me in St Louis

The last IB studio album with Francis Dunnery. Less prog than Once Around the World, but still a fine album, featuring Still Too Young to Remember.

Here’s a live version of that song:

Yep, a great, informative read.

Just started this one:

Sounds Like London - Lloyd Bradley.

Hoping it’ll stir a few memories of my time in London, and maybe even mention that club in Canning Town who’s name continues to elude my ageing memory cells.

I’ve read that too, very good. The Alpha book is a bit special though, the first time to my knowledge that anyone has tried to properly document its remarkable history

Don’t suppose your encyclopaedic knowledge of London will allow you to identify that early 80s club who’s name I’m missing?

I’m sure it was a girl’s name, and possibly would have been up on North Woolwich Road, Victoria Dock Road, or Newham Way … … … maybe! :man_shrugging:

I wish! :joy:

It is interesting to compile a companion album of the original versions. I think her versions are brilliant.
