John Hammond - Ready For Love

The very first & groundbreaking ....... Van Halen album, Running with the Devil indeed !

@Boneyard Dogs

The very first & groundbreaking ....... Van Halen album, Running with the Devil indeed !

Ah - used to have that on one side of a C90 with the first Montrose album on the other side. Good stuff!

Been seeing The Dean Casement Trio this afternoon, they are so funky and Bluesy and play Hendrix's stuff fantastically ! Don't have to put a c d on, it's all still in my head !

@Anthem ...the Bubble...put it the car at Xmas and still there...sad I know but it's ace!! ..Opened my mind big time!

@Bass Bloke ...not sure myself...the country vibe not for me..even with my new open mind ;-)

Silence, its refreshing lol, err sorry I think its the sound of the sea sssshhhhhhhhh

i'm listening to freya nagging at me to "get off that computer-you've got work in the morning"!! -yes dear-be there in a minute!!

V. ! a Wife 'nagging' ....... surely not !

Note to Paul Mr NWB , Light hearted,kinda musical, great bonding tool. Tis all peace, love and camaraderie.

Ohh and next up Clannad-Magical Ring (on a c90)

gawd..C90's, I remember buying 100 of em at staff discount through a manager at currys I knew. Filled em all with albums from Sensational Alex Harvey Band through Paul Young and on to Kool and the Gang..happy days!

Got a few myself Kev,spent months transferring most onto MP3. Still have over 1000 LP's yet to transfer tho. Dread to think what other 'Treasures' I will unearth in the coming months.

if the album was a "knock off Nigel" one in the first place is it still illegal to transfer to mp3?

MP3 Aint that a motorway or summat !

thats right bloke..2 4 6 8 mp3

Moot point but prob illegal. All mine are from original cassettes/vinyls and still questionable. That said I purchased a usb turntable and cassette player specially to transfer, so does that make the manufacturers guilty of 'aiding and abetting' copyright theft?
This argument is as old as the hills,Blank Audio/ Video tapes /CD and dvd disks cannot all be to record our kids parties/first words, holidays etc. Can they ?

They do Videos now ? keef im still on mi 8 track dude ,best quality ever

hmm..I borrowed the LP in the first place so they were paid for originally and they were copied for my own use, but I think thats still a nono..however..you can legitamatley copy a piece of sheet music if its for your own practice use..anyway..it was 25 bloody years ago..uh oh..what are these blue flashing lights outside the window?..oooeeerrrrr !

oooh 8 tracks, Couldn't agree more mate. Couldn't fault them.

Hey Trig, they even have gramophones that work of that electrickery, or so they tell me LOL

Keef , if i could get some half decent cassettes for it ,and it would actually fit in mi car without having to mash my dash , it would be in lol

strange how some of the old systems are still considered better quality than the new stuff. I recorded a couple of albums in the late 80s and the engineer used Betamax video tape to record on. He insisted it was better than any 16 track audio tape!

BBC stil use Betamax, after all these years. I had a VHS Ferguson Video Star for ages (Toploader with the Toggle keys), way better than even the newer Sony/JVC offerings.

Come and talk to me Trig , could do with a sort out/clear out mate.

Betamax was an excellent format , god knows why it died ehh ? i remember my 16 track alesis was a standard Vhs tape ,then it would cost earth for a decent 2 track spool , crazy ehh ?
still actually got my Digital tape cassette recorder ,it was better than my Dat which cost me 4 times as much to

@ Keef
Pictures at an Exibition, awesome choice. Would love to do an ELP tribute band. God knows how many times I have seen them. Last time at Apollo in Manch it was liek a geriatrics convention going in., and the stench of pot.....anyway back on track.
Glass of Four Roses, James Taylor Quartet, Whole Lotta Live to be followed by Jess Roden on vinyl.

Ahh ELP, i had the pleasure of seeing them in the very same stadium in Ontario where Fanfare for the Common man was recorded,(remember the snow ) with guests Kc and the sunshine band ,and a very good clown called Leo Sayer

@FRB, Always fancied an ELP trib myself. If only Jimi had not died when he did we might have seen an HELP band on the road. Now that would have been something. I really got into the whole classical/rock thing back then, bought every thing I could find from Sky at one point as well as other bands such as Camel. Those where the days eh?

what happened to carl palmer?

Keef, wow you have really got me going now. I have about 4 boxes of vinyl in the attic with shed loads of Prog Rock. Camel, fabulous. Did you ever come across Automatic Man? Bunch of guys who only did 1 album that i know of. Michael Shrieve, Bayette(Todd Cochran) Pat Thrall Doni Harvey. Looks like that one is on the list for tonight.

@DB
Still going strong as far as I know. There was a You Tube video on a recent blog of him drumming with an ELP tribute band from Italy.

Just in case some of our younger members are unsure. HELP = Jimi Hendrix,Keith Emerson,Greg Lake and Carl Palmer. Talk about a super group!

@FRB. Blimey Automatic Man, haven't heard their name in eons mate. Like wise Caravan,Egg,Gentle Giant,Germ Patrol,Man,Greenslade. Ooooh Those golden years. Reckon you, me and rick from the 45's could have real Prog nostalgia trip!

Carl Palmer? Still working and doing occasional Clinics I believe.

Rahssan Roland Kirk, Charles Lloyd and forever
In a Silent Way...Miles davies
&
A Love Supreme ...Johnn Coltrane

Heaven!!

Oasis Definitely Maybe and Bon Jovis slippery when wet(both in the same cd multichanger)

is that gonna create a paradox and upset the space time continue-ment?..................

No but it will baffle em Rob ! lol

the irony is oasis have at one time or another tipped their hat to th beatles,t rex, thin lizzy, sex pistols ,the clash etc etc etc

i like Oasis, there i said it, ive liked em since they were on the word in 1994, a good band is a good band is a good band

but today i was listening to Trivium, does that now make me a "new wave of american heavy metal fan",WTF no, its just another cd i like too, and new years eve me and my good lady got home and danced around the room to 1980s cheese pop(my suggestion) then watched Jools Holland

take those blinkers off people, if you like it listen to it, simples, all personal taste

Me to m8 , i have listened to ,and played loads of styles over the years, in fact i would be hung at dawn by some if they only just heard what i have in my car lol. but its mine ,and i like it !
Get some Glen miller in yer lugs and then chill ehh ?
thats just one lol

mick from bad horsie has not spoken to me for at least 3 days since i mentioned i find the film and music of Mamma Mia actually not that bad :-) this is after the other week him saying we are kindred spirits guitar wise, i think hes very very disappointed :-)))))))))
