DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Just ordered my first vinyl setup. I pulled Dark Side of the Moon, Rumours and Songs in the Key of Life out of my Mum's loft, but other album recommendations would be appreciated!

Has the Dark Side got a solid light blue triangle in the middle of the vinyl. Careful if it has, could be 350-400 quid in good nick. Beatles Revolver and Rubber Soul. Only 'experts' mistakenly think Sgt Pepper was their best effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundgarden - Superunknown, Pearl Jam 10, Pulp- Different Class, Charlatans - Some Friendly. Crosby, Stills and Nash first LP is basically California in the 60's on wax. Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed are worth a listen. Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory by Bowie are classics. The Curtis Mayfield reissue from 2019 has the full version of Move on Up which everyone should have. The Cure - Head on the Door. I've got loads depending on what you like as a base. You might love Jazz Edited January 14 by Gee SCREAMER !! Crewton and DarkFruitsRam7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good listening there, here are three you might enjoy. In 1990 I rented a couch from a fellow in Malmö Sweden. We had little money but needed some music to play on my ghetto blaster cassette player, he chose Oh Mercy and I Full Moon Fever. We played them nonstop in his flat. Strange yet nice memories. From the CSN album, I keep listening to this tune lately. Stills is special. Edited January 15 by ramit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1984 I was hired for a 4 month voyage on a cargo ship to the Mediterranean and back. As usual I had little cash but much musical longing with little time to choose what to bring. Two cassettes and did not regret the purchase. As a result, Stewart Copeland became my favorite drummer. DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone through the whole Beatles catalogue. Definitely want to get all the vinyl versions, but will be prioritizing stuff I haven't sat down and listened to before. George Harrison's All Things Must Pass is one I want sooner rather than later. Gee SCREAMER !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently learnt his unique drumming style in the Middle East as his dad was in the United States intelligence service. ramit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Really enjoying this. Simon Armitage (Poet Laureate no less) and 2 others have come together as LYR to create a wonderful album to while away one hour of your time. An Unnatural History. A bizarre concept. An album all about Barnsley's Eldon Street through the eyes of the former Natural History Museum. The music and lyrics cover Eldon Street’s past, including circuses and fairs that visited the town. Something I stumbled on because of my enjoyment of Yard Act, and a suggestion from Spotify. A couple of tracks linked below. Deserves a few more listens.

I pulled a few albums out of the attic the other day I have kept from way back then. Rumours was one. Bridge over troubled water and Breakfast in America, and Parallel Lines all great albums I hadn’t played for years. Any of these if you are getting into the 70’s have their merits. https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/5932-top-100-albums-of-the-1970s/ DarkFruitsRam7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reviewer couldn't understand it not being number one, yet it is at 7! I am however more surprised at some of the albums that are missing. No "Night at the Opera" or "Day at the Races". However the biggest missing album for me is "Bat Out of Hell". One of the biggest selling albums ever and it doesn't even make the top 100 of the 70s.
