MeloManiac Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Is it rock or reggae? Look Sharp! is Joe Jackson's 1979 debut. He was 22 back then. Two tracks became arguably his best known songs: Is she really going out with him? and Fools In Love. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Sharp!_(Joe_Jackson_album)?wprov=sfla1 The record has excellent Sq. I think it's a first pressing... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 August is the tenth solo studio album by Eric Clapton, released in 1986 by Duck Records/Warner Bros. Records. Described as a "hard R&B" album, it was primarily produced by Phil Collins, in association with longtime Clapton associate Tom Dowd. Just chillin and thunkin about what's next. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Their first! US cover In August 1968, Yes formed with a line-up of singer Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Peter Banks, drummer Bill Bruford, and keyboardist Tony Kaye; the band played their first gig under the name on 4 August. They toured the United Kingdom extensively, playing sets featuring both original material and rearranged cover songs from rock, pop, funk, and jazz artists. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I've got to know, why was I led to believe that "The YES Album" was their first? I thought that until a couple years ago when this same LP was brought up here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you were referring too? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about this great release: Liked it so much that I have an "at home" LP version and this newer mobile one! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in the Freak Out used record shop the other day, I held 'Going for the One', a 1977 Yes album, in my hand. I'm no Yes-expert, so I didn't know it. Also, the price tag was missing. The cover was in a rather dismall state also... The only Yes song I'm familiar with is 'Owner of a lonely heart'. That's about it. So I put it back. Now you are probably going to kill me over this... I did listen to it on Spotify when I got home. I didn't know any of the songs. 😳 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 First time using the gum glue method on a record that is new and although an ultrasonic clean made it sound better I feel that has manufacturing grime deep down Will report back with results 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I google for it, I even get links to 'superglue', which would not work at all, I think! In what section of the department store should I look for this? In this Dutch video, they're using 'wood glue'. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood glue may be to strong I read that gum glue is better and similar to Revirginizer Then I got some instructions form an Australian audiophile and now giving it a try 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 When I was in Morocco recently, this scene caught my eye and I quickly snapped a picture of it with my Fujifilm X100s camera. I used an in-camera hdr toning filter. I don't do post-work on my pictures (makes me feel I'm cheating). Believe it or not, but when I took the picture, I was thinking of the similarity with the 2012 Mark Knopfler album Privateering, of which the cover shows a very similar van. Wikipedia: The photograph used for the album cover was taken by Johnnie Pilkington, and shows a battered van amidst old tires and wheel rims beneath a bleak sky, with a small dog walking away from the van. The photograph is an HDR type image. In the album's title, Knopfler used the idea of a "privateer"—a privately owned ship or its captain authorized by a government during wartime to capture enemy vessels[11]—as an analogy for modern rock-and-roll musicians who make their way in the world in a spirit of independence and adventure. I really get a buzz out of having this little group of people that sallies forth across the world. I enjoy being in command of it, the band, the crew, travelling through this ever-changing landscape and playing in all these different places. You get where you get without any kind of assistance, really, making your own way in the world. There are no government grants to play this music. You're a privateer. And that's the way I like it.[12] Knopfler recalled the early days of his music career, when "if you had a van you could get into a group, so band wagons have always had a special place in my heart."[12] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Alright @MeloManiac Nope never: Got that YES when it came out too! To be an expert just buy them all! The title track, Parallels and Wondrous Stories are very good tunes, there are only two others on it and they're good too... But you already know you're talking to a seriously biased person about YES . 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that Yes is my 2nd favorite band, it's only fair for me to say, ''Awakening on the LP is one of Yes's greatest work''.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
