My missus is a huge fan of Bad English (John Waite lead vocals). They never did a lot, and never really achieved the dizzy heights of the charts, but she has everything they did.Fire and Water favourite ever album. I too never saw Free, but have seen Bad Company. Never tire of hearing Alright Now !
Just don't sell any to Music Magpie! They will offer you peanuts for really good albums. I'm talking literally pennies! Robbers! I'd rather give mine away to a charity shop!I bought a few CD's off Music Magpie the other day for the car.
Currently playing the Cigarettes and Alcohol album which is basically 40 different indie songs, Stone Roses, OCS, The LA's etc.
And don't sell classic albums to a mate. Like I did with Rumours on vinyl !Just don't sell any to Music Magpie! They will offer you peanuts for really good albums. I'm talking literally pennies! Robbers! I'd rather give mine away to a charity shop!
I’ve been listening to a lot of 6 Music recently and have just downloaded a couple of tracks they’ve been playing recently.
Pulsar by a band called Ride. Their bass player Andy Bell was in Oasis, Beady Eye and Hurricane #1. This track is quite strong and forceful...I like it.

Been playing a lot of Cocteau Twins this last month. Loved that band ever since 'Treasure' in 1984. Frighteningly brilliant. Can't see them ever being dislodged from my list of all time top 5 favourites.
One of the original shoegazing bands. I recently got into them too, alongside Slowdive. One criticism of Ride is that they couldn't decide what kind of band they wanted to be and seemed to follow trends - every album sounds different - changing to be like what was popular at the time.
The Mortal Coil collection introduced (to me at least) some great artists. 4AD - What a label.Played Treasure in the car a lot when my eldest was small. She used to keep saying that she wanted the Hocky Docky song. It took us a while to figure out she meant Domino.
One of my favourite albums. I recall that This Mortal Coil released "It'll End in Tears" featuring Liz Fraser around the same time - love 4AD.

My favourite Roy Harper song:I got into Roy Harper from that album. The original of 'Another Day' is just as wonderful as TMC's cover.

And the other one is by a new band called Invisible Minds and is called Yo Mae Leh. It’s quite a mellow-ey, drifty type of song. Like it. Get involved.

Ride are ace.
They've just played the track Inside by Stiltskin on Planet Rock. What a great record that was, they broke up not long after I think ? Shame bet they could of become a big band.
They also played Sound Of Silence by Disturbed. What a cover version that is !That was a great song BBR. Wasn't on a Levis ad around the time it was released?
Same as Spaceman by Babylon Zoo. Another decent track from around that time from jeans ads.

I knew you were going to say that !Class!
I'm going to have a look round this charity shop, you seem to get some great bargains in itJust treated myself in a Bell Green charity shop to 3 CDs and a football book. Simple Minds : Glittering Prize. Stereophonics : Best Of titled : Decade In The Sun. And a compilation CD 25 tracks. 79 pence each.
The football book is called : The Golden Age, black and white pictures etc covering football from 1900 to 1985.
A bargain at a quid as its in excellent nick. As a collector of memorabilia its a great addition. The shop is currently full of cracking stuff !
