No numbers to be divulged on pain of death…
Argh nice album Quicksticks
Foreign Affair is superb with fabulous bass lines
Wishing you a relaxing Sunday and Happy Birthday

Cockney Rebel - Human Menagerie
50 years ago tonight I was at the Croydon Greyhound watching and listening to the now sadly late Steve Harley, great night and brilliant music.
And top left Paul Jeffreys (bass) who with his wife (on honeymoon) died on Pan Am Flight 103.
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - CD (1977)
Fleetwood Mac released ‘Dreams’ from their eleventh studio album ‘Rumours’ which became their first and only US No.1 hit single 47 years ago today 24/03/77. Stevie Nicks wrote the song in early 1976 at the Record Plant studio in Sausalito, California in around 10 minutes, on a day when she wasn’t required in the main studio.
The radio was playing when I unmuted the amplifier but what she was playing at the time sounded pretty wispy washy. It was as if Martin Handley was standing in for Sarah! So I put a record on instead. Sorry Sarah.
This record:
Fuse One
I haven’t played this since the early 1980s. I wasn’t taken with it at the time, so it was only played once or twice. Hence, it’s in immaculate condition and is sounding a lot better than I recall. I dreamed about John McLaughlin last night, so it seems only right to play something on which he’s playing.
The Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Still one of my all time favourite albums. All musicians were on fire 
Agreed, Pete never surpassed this creation.
Hi @Clive I remember the enthusiasm that surrounded this release, and frankly when I heard it, I couldn’t understand why it was so popular, and therefore I never bought it. At the time, I am sure that it wasn’t hard to find better recordings, and that’s what I did, but I would need to do some hard checking to say which ones they were.
Yesterday I was thinking that 350’s have revitalised a number of older and less played discs that I have - the added details, drive and musical cohesion making them more appealing - perhaps I would feel differently about Fuse One if I played it now!
