Woken up feeling a touch worse for wear following yesterday’s Covid Jab.
Mrs QS off to the office today, so her alarm signalled an early start.
Thought I’d ease us into the day with some Alex Lifeson and Envy of None.

Flaco Jimenez. Partners.
If you’ve not heard of him you will certainly know the people he has played with. Excellent. Cd rip.

Hi @Richard.Dane the word you edited from the MC5 post is actually a line spoken in the records intro
More Yoko. This is her Harvest - she’s heading for the middle of the road, to appropriate Neil Young’s comment on his own output.

If it’s the infamous word I’m thinking about, it’s also in John Sinclair’s text as in the photo. Those naughty boys!

Two great selections there. The Frontline label released some really crucial stuff, you may know the story of how Johnny Rotten (Lydon) and others went out to Kingston and holed up at the Sheraton Hotel with a suitcase of cash to tempt Jamaican artists to sign up for the label.
X Ray Spex, yeah respect due Poly Styrene!
I remember that Virgin store well at The Clocktower junction of Queens Rd, North Rd. It later closed and moved to a much smaller shop further up Queens Road. By this time I had started making regular train and tube trips to Dub Vendor in Ladbroke Grove or Clapham a whole different and inspiring record shop experience and education.
Back to the Frontline label, those compilation samplers are excellent introductions to the full albums most of which are pretty essential imo, heres Vol II

Did you you type it in your post - can’t remember.
That’s the difference I’d guess.

Yeah I just quoted from the record 
maybe some overly sensitive soul was offended. Oh well I guess some 50+ years on that line still has the desired impact 
Family forum…well, ish. Grandchildren may read it.
I’m surprised the guard software let you write it, tbh. Should be an obvious catch for it
Still…no biggie eh

Yes, it was flagged up and I agreed that it wasn’t appropriate language on here.
From what I can see of the cover, that looks like the Peter Green FM - is it a bootleg? And when was it recorded? I think there have been many versions of the Boston recordings so maybe it is one of those?
Thanks Dread
You knowing of that Virgin Shop that I mentioned brought a smile.It was the smaller one I mentioned.
I was to young to remember The Clock Tower branch.But there was so much great music to discover as a young teenager for me.I had school mates and their older brothers had Zeppelin @ Stranglers and Sex Pistols albums and Floyd.Rock against Racism events in London…wearing Anti Nazi league badges on our school blazers …sorry I am getting rose tinted specs thinking back …but you were there @ know what I am saying.I remember Aswad were always playing Brighton and the University of Sussex pretty regular…and Radiohead and REM also were always playing there around 1984 -85.
I do feel lucky living in Brighton in that period .
Yeah did know that story about John Lydon out in Jamaica signing artists for Virgin…I know he got Big Youth…
Wishing you a nice day Dread …enjoy the sun
