30% of a tremendous album. More if hed edit his lyrics. When he started working with Burt Bacharach I thought he’d trim the fat off cos there was nivver any excess lyricism in yer Bacharach/David classics. But no.
Having said that Man Out Of Time and Almost Blue are as good as owt he ever did. Beyond Beliefs up there. There’s a Chet Baker live version of Almost Blue on you tube that’s s good as anything I’ve ever heard. Beautiful.

aye, man out of time is tremendous . town crier is tremendous as is you little fool .
 
SO, my early impressions of this week's releases in a slow week:

Suuns - I like the EP. It's quite experimental and goes through a range of styles.
Jim White - a man who should be far more widely known. This is excellent and really good fun.
Elvis Costello - admirable but maybe not enjoyable. Parts are excellent but it's not particularly coherent.
Eels - enjoyable but it could be any Eels album from down the years.
Juana Molina - last week's live album. It's very good TBH. A fair bit more motorik/Krautrockish than I remember her recorded work being.
Andrew Bird - a Christmas album. It's okay but too early.
Oneohtrix Point Never - very good, very weird. I'm not sure how I'd classify it.

Album of the week: Jim White, although Juana Molina and Oneohtrix Point Never are also good.

74 tracks never released on cd before, like i said if you like Thin Lizzy its a superb set

Aye, but it's not though is it. It's a lot of demo/live versions isn't it. I love Lizzy, but I've got the records, I've got the BBC sessions, I've got the Live and Dangerous DVD with the live in Derby CD. Do I need a demo of Angel From The Coast?

slightly off topic, anyone see this weeks later on friday ? artist called greentea peng on- was just amy winehouse mk2. Same dress sense, same tatoos, quite remarkable. Don't think originality was her strongpoint.

The demo versions all sound top notch the sound on all 6 discs is superb, ive got pretty much everything by Lizzy but this is class. Its a lot of money ( if you can actually find it now ) maybe its not for you but i absolutely love it.

I'm sure it's a nice collection, it's just when I first heard about it I'd hoped there might be more to it that we haven't heard before, but then again it's a band that's been finished 37 years.

I hadn't heard of the Rod Stewart show performance before so I'd be interested to have that, but on looking earlier the bugger's on YouTube anyway. :lol:

Pleased you're enjoying it anyway.
