The debut Ewart Beckford, better known as U-Roy, album Version Galore took Jamaica by storm. Recorded at the Treasure Isle studio, the LP saw the DJ U-Roy sing over many well-known classics, including five tracks by the Paragons. Legendary. |
No.1031 03/07/2019
The debut Nick Drake album Five Leaves Left is 50 years old today. Mixed reviews upon release, now seen as a classic. Includes the wonderful River Man, Cello Song and The Thoughts of Mary Jane. Melancholy masterpiece. Any Drake (not that one) fans out there? |

The Doors 1968 album Waiting For The Sun is 50 years old today! Expectations were high following the band’s first two releases, and to many Waiting For The Sun failed to deliver. I argue there is greater depth in song and shouldn’t be dismissed. Includes the US number one Hello, I Love You. Does it make your Doors top 3? |
No.301 03/07/2017
The 1967 release Silk & Soul from Nina Simone. Love Go To Hell and I wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free. What a voice, what a performance! |
