The 3rd album by The Band, Stage Fright, celebrates a 50th anniversary today! The LP received mixed reviews, despite some career highlights, including The Shape I’m In and the title track. Probably due to the up-tempo music and embittered lyrics. Solid work though. |
 No.1077 17/08/2019
The 3rd XTC album Drums & Wires is 40 years old today! Critic Robert Christgau said “Catchy, funny, interesting—and it rocks.” Includes the hit single Making Plans for Nigel, and the original recording of Ten Feet Tall. Appealing and eccentric. |
 No.711 17/08/2018
The debut eponymous album by American glam rock artist Jobriath gave the singer the nickname the ‘American Bowie’ and for obvious reasons. Highlights are I’maman and the closing track Blow Away. Grandiose and pretentious, absolutely, but I love it! |
 No.346 17/08/2017
The eponymous 1972 album by British rock band Home is an unknown classic. In 1971 they supported Led Zeppelin at Wembley Empire Pool! |
