Great album closing tracks

The Mighty Lemon Drops-Beautiful Shame, 1989

 

The Mock Turtles-Why Must I Share This Air With Foolish Men?, 1991

 

Sleep of the Just - The Birds Will Still Be Singing - Favourite Hour - I Want To Vanish - God Give Me Strength - The Scarlet Tide ..... Those are some solid closers, there.

For me, however -- Couldn't Call It Unexpected #4 is on another level. I first heard it in 1990 -- Neil Young's Bridge School event. Costello debuted it, solo, at the piano -- rudimentary, spartan -- but it grabbed me right then and there, and, to this day, it remains perhaps my favorite composition of anyone, ever.

As for the Get Happy sequencing -- I played that album in incorrect order for the better part of a year, until my brother pointed out that the label on the vinyl should be the final word. Duh.

Prince - "Big City"

Bee Gees "MAIN COURSE" - the low-key, melancholy sweetness of "BABY AS YOU TURN AWAY" is lovely.

 

Fantastic song from a fantastic album.

 

I agree! Along with "FIRST" and "SPIRITS HAVING FLOWN", my favourite Bee Gees albums.
