 | Strictly Personal
Buy new: £4.98 Thought I'd open with the Cap. this time. As an ex-Magic band drummer said, 'Every Beefheart album is the best', and this is no exception. Gimmie dat harp boy another spine clenching blues thwok.
|
 | VU by The Velvet Underground
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.06 First got hold of this about 12 years ago and cained it suitably. A great collection of 'rareities' and now also available on 180gm virgin vinyl. I'm hoping Chris Cringle'll deliver this year.
|
 | The Smiths by The Smiths
Buy used from: £16.00 How could I not include their first album? Yes, the debut from one of my do-no-wrong outfits, suitably moribund and chucklesome. Excellent.
|
 | The Very Best Of The Pogues by The Pogues
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.35 Whilst I think all the tunes on here are on the four Pogues albums I've already listed, here's them at their best concentrated into one disk. Also the first Pogues material I got so one for posterity.
|
 | The Best of Chuck Berry by Chuck Berry
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.65 My 14 month old daughter's favourite party music. Great stuff.
|
 | Rockin' With Little Richard by Little Richard
Buy used from: £0.99 You gotta love this loon. Tutti Frutti an obvious pesonal favourite. Uh-wo-HOOOOOOOOO.
|
 | Bongo Fury by Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £11.98 Wow, what a vocalist. I've never heard anyone that good sing with Frank before. Who IS he?
|
 | Protection by Massive Attack
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.46 I've a strange feeling I've not included this before. The second and a fine album from Bristol's finest. Karmacoma still kills it. In fact all bar the terrible final track are sublime.
|
 | Pablo Honey by Radiohead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.59 Not quite as incredible as many seem to think they are but still a very good band with some fine tunes. Creep I heard when it first came out and it still does it fur moi.
