Horslips - Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part (1973)

A reminder from the band’s Facebook page that their debut is now 50 years old so I had to play it.
I was still in school and bought the concertina shaped cover and vinyl on release.

The first line of the AMG review says to “Get ready for the ride of your life through Irish folk-rock styles…”.

Many happy memories.

Sting - The Dream Of The Blue Turtles. (1985).

Nice bit jazz rock with Sting still on top of his song writing game.

The Hoax | Humdinger | 1998
Possibly the best British blues band that nobody (apart from a few stalwarts on here) have ever heard of. Such a shame because in IMHO they could and should have been a significant band. Several years since they’ve been played so out they come.

That’s a sad thought, but true for a lot of people on here, enjoy while you can

Yep same here, so much music and not enough time left.

The other sobering thought is if you have no offspring, what do you do with your collection, that for most of us, has taken years to collect, so more reason to enjoy.

This is probably a very good topic for a new thread.

Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous, ummed and ahhed a bit as to whether I should purchase the 8 cd box set, but I think there is just a bit too much repetition, so this is just fine.

The Third Mind – The Third Mind

Really late to the party on this one, but thanks to those that still post it. Really awesome. Looking forward to playing their second album later.

I always think about Wyatt when I’m in Suffolk. Nowhere in England makes a better sausage roll than Suffolk I reckon.

Chris Difford was just on local telly, prompting this not played in ages.

Essential Squeeze

Nils Lofgren. Live CD. 1997.

Bought this on the strength of enthusiastic reviews a few years ago. It’s pleasant, but for acoustic , folky, bluesy live stuff, the late Isaac Guillory blows him away imho. I may not be quite comparing apples with apples. Just my views.

My brother in law used to manage them I think the album was on East West .
I must ask him what happened to them .There was high expectations but it didnt quite materialise. Alan is managing Robin Trower and Sari Shorr at the moment and has a label
Manhatton Records.
