Interesting. If I could only have a few of these seven records, I’d probably go for the first three (Tim Buckley, Goodbye And Hello, and Happy Sad), although I’d miss greatly the low down funk of Greetings From LA, which was the first Tim Buckley record that I ever heard and owned many years ago. But I love them all. He was a better singer (and songwriter) than just about anyone at the time.
Many would think that Tim Buckley’s greatest achievement was to father Jeff Buckley (and I can only imagine how seven LPs from Jeff would have changed our musical world). I’ve never seen anyone who was even close to him for sheer talent and musicianship.
The First Tracy C album “Tracy Chapman” from the eighties. An essential album at that time for testing your LP12 etc etc. Still love it all these years later, although now I stream it as the LP12 was sold some time ago!! A brilliant artist.IMHO.
Happy birthday to the Dame. To celebrate I’m playing various copies of Hunky Dory (itself having just celebrated a 50th) on vinyl, CD and tape. Right now I’m listening to one of the best; the original RCA CD pressed in “West Germany”. This one catches the vibe of the original Bob Hill and Ray Staff vinyl cut the best - much my favourite of the Hunky Dorys on CD.
Great singer. Great songs. Great musicians. And well worth catching live if you can. We saw him at St Georges Church Hall about a decade ago. Mesmerising
