Hmm. A band I've never listened to. I'll take a look (well, listen) - thanks.

Is there a best Dan album or are they all superb? Particularly love Deacon Blue on this one.

One of many in a great run of Thomas & Buscema issues. Absolute perfection!

Signed as well.

Also done.

It certainly ranks highly for me, just a whisker below Selling England in that era.

A great album, although not quite up there with lineup partner Trick Of The Tail.

One of the first guitar pieces I learned was Al Stewart's Denise At 16 from the Bedsitter Images album. A lovely tune.

Hasn't he threatened Greenland and Panama? Sanctioned the killing of people on a boat? Used the election to suggest he could fix Ukraine and Gaza in a single day? Instigated insurrection on January 6th?
Sure deserves a peace prize!

Great choices there JM. I might've tried to squeeze Working Class Hero in there somehow for its raw anger.

I also discovered this when producing rendering routines for some old mixed text & graphics adventures for the Speccy. Things do look a tad odd when the radius becomes closer to low single-digit pixels.

Love this album! Richard Sinclair might not have lasted long with Camel, but his vocals and bass brought a lot for the few albums he graced.

Enjoy the sun! (It's not an album I've ever heard)

An amazing swansong album (except for Maxwell's Silver Hammer) which still sounds great today.

Every song on this is a gem, and I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite.

It'll be interesting to hear the new mix and pick out some of the more subtle backgrounds.

The Colosseum album is my favourite of those - Dick Heckstall-Smith's double sax playing is always a treat.

I can understand that point, but when I can actually walk to one of those venues, I'll go and enjoy :-)

I'm sorry I can't do that.

The last in a great run of albums, all the way from Atom Heart Mother. It all got a bit too Roger Waters for me after this, although The Division Bell stands up well.

My Abacab... (although I'll wait to hear how the remix sounds)
