I've got it (and sampled the funky drum break) on various albums, but have more recently heard a track via someone's Spotify that appears to have a reprise at the end with more drum/bongos and guitar. C6T. The simple answer is I don't know. I knew the track from the 3+3 album which I had on vinyl. Wikipedia tells me that the track there is 5.35 long. Might be worth checking Youtube though from my search here it looks as though the tracks are still around the five and a half minute mark. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Neil, the easy out for me is to just browse Spotify, how joyless! I love crate digging for vinyl. In proper bricks n mortar record shops, but I would need to know if is was on a specific Isley Brothers ep or some such. The hunt is on! C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been really getting into the man himself. Seeing the changes in him and his performances over the years from a young kid with a guitar and some great songs when he started out, through a fairly rock and roll period in the 70s, then an elder statesman, having survived a couple of operations for cancer which altered his voice considerably. Perhaps my favourite is an intimate little concert he gave towards the end of his life, which I watch over and over again. "She left me so I wrote this song to get her back" "Did it work?" "No. I meant revenge!" Brilliant. Seeing the genuine love and respect he and Gordon Lightfoot had for each other is quite special. I wish I had seen him live but only really discovered him after he died from Covid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted January 3, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) For Christmas I was given John Cooper Clarke's excellent autobiography 'I wanna be yours' and it reminded me I saw him, must be forty years ago, live at York University, with if I remember correctly, his backing band, The Invisible Girls. Anyway here's the incomparable Beasley Street. Edited January 3, 2022 by Neil 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'll take The Only One's version everytime thankyouverymuch. First heard on the 'Sounds of the Suburbs' compilation CD I bought years ago. My own vinyl collection has recently been bolstered by the addition of Autobahn by Kraftwerk (my original copy having been not returned...which I'm still sore about) and Gary Numan's most recent release Intruder via a two for £40 deal at HMV. Gary had a gig pencilled in locally in May, waiting to see what Covid will do to live events before pushing the button on ticket purchasing though.

Classsix T Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I've a lot of time for Don Letts, as a social commentator - and champion of irie dreads, but I often wonder how on earth he justified his presence within BAD. From an accounting perspective to the record company?! C6T. A bit like Bez in the Happy Mondays? Anyone remember Shovel off of M People? Would turn up to the opening of an envelope, wasn't actually M People's drummer but looked after the chimes and crap!?

Indeed, I did give the album a listen and thought it was ok but wouldn't listen to the full thing again. One song by BAD I can never get on with is The Globe which the same few bars from Should I Stay or Should I Go Now over and over agin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Band splits and media/fans expect great things of solo projects whilst the money-men keep their fingers crossed. Wu-Tang Clan to my knowledge have been the only group of artists to actually play the record company system and make it work for them. Some background: Wu released their initial collaborative LP and the Hip-Hop world went ape-sh!t (Enter the 36 Chambers). They then decided to individually play the music industry off against each other for signing up to solo deals whilst always maintaining the group for follow up albums as and when made. Totally shafting the establishment idea of "You turn out three albums in five years as this group of people for us." Actually, maybe Collins/Banks/Rutherford had the right idea with Genesis many years previously? C6T. Edited January 12, 2022 by Classsix T 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago a TV drama set in the outback used "Order Of Death" at one point when the villainy guy was driving through the desert on the way to do some neer-do well stuff. Maybe it was the accompanying hot, dry, sinister imagery of the outback or the knowledge that the girly hero was about to have something bad coming down on her but before that I'd never noticed the malevolent sense of impending doom that that song has, its just relentless , it went from "Meh" to getting a place on my Spotify driving play list, especially if I go outback.

That is pretty cool/dark Chris and right up my chord structure (not a euphemism), if a bit formulaic. Some Lydonesque wailing written lyrics wouldn't go amiss though. This is my go to dark chord choon of choice: https://open.spotify.com/track/4BSoQxTQWNHgktgbEwzeEk?si=jceS60bnTJ6Z22GBjteppQ&utm_source=copy-link Gary is a past master of the genre of course, and continues to be a dark master: But the soundtrack to the movie Sicario really effing made me goosebumpy, I don't even know if it's "music" but Jeez, aural sex! Which is all a bit odd that I have an affinity with such music, cos I'm very much a glass half full kinda guy! I don't even like horror movies.
