That has the wonderful ‘A13, Trunk Road to the Sea’
OK all together now - to the tune of Route 66
If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the okay road that’s the best
Go motorin’ on the A13
Well, if you’re looking for a thrill that’s new
Take in Fords, Dartford Tunnel and the river too
Go motorin’ on the A13
It starts down in Wapping
There ain’t no stopping
By-pass Barking and straight through Dagenham
Down to Grays Thurrock
And rather near Basildon
Pitsea, Thundersley, Hadleigh, Leigh-On-Sea
Chalkwell, Prittlewell
Southend’s the end

It does indeed, Hope its brought back some memories
You said in March that you’d already purchased a copy.
Not according to the RAC and AA road atlas.
Yes, I listened, didn’t enjoy much of what I heard, and decided to shelve it for another few tears.
A travesty and missed opportunity that the original musicians weren’t invited to perform this masterpiece of an album.
Current lineup is,in my judgement, a circus act.
That’s better.
Pre 1977 Crash 3 X CD box set. Well the box set came later but you know what I mean.
Jimmy Scott - The Source
From 1970 this album has a beautiful version of ‘On Broadway’
Nice that Jimmy had a resurgence in his career courtesy of David Lynch and Lou Reed.
My experience of the remix was the opposite - like you I didn’t much like the original Animals (I did keep trying through several plays) but the remix was a revelation. Brought the music alive for me.
Bear in mind that I came very late to the album (and the later Floyd albums in general) so I had no years of listening memory that the original evoked.
Great remix imho👌
John Prine - John Prine - CD
Another blast from the past, John is another long time fav, and sadly missed, I couldn’t make my mind up which to play, so went back to the beginning.
Brilliant album with some absolute classics ‘Hello in There’, ‘Sam Stone’ and the brilliant ‘Angel from Montgomery’.
Most artists would have been content with just one of those songs.
