    In the 80s, he became too ordinary, and when he later tried to reclaim the weirdness, it didn't come off.

    Well, this has somehow ended up in the wrong thread. Sorry, everyone. :doh:

    48 (Re) Various Artists - Motown Chartbusters Vol.3
    49 (Re) Johnny Cash - At San Quentin
    50 (Re) Rory Gallagher - Live In Europe

    Quite a lot of good stuff there, IMO. Exile & Machine Head both classics. The two Don Mclean albums are great. Never cared for Mr Young's Harvest though - too much whingeing & plodding. Motown Chartbusters Vol 3 was the first album I ever bought; back at the end of '69. Roxy's debut has always been my favourite of theirs. I prefer Mr Cash's Folsom set over the San Quentin one. And I can't stand Lennon's hypocrital bleatings on Imagine.

    Three Alice Cooper albums on the chart. School's Out's success putting their previous two records back onto the public's musical radar. Incidentally, on June 9th, remastered deluxe editions of both School's Out & Killer are being released. 2CD & 3 LPs. Original albums + live concerts + bonus tracks. How fab.

    [​IMG]
    There are booklets with each set; commentary on every song by the surviving band members. If you buy the vinyl then you get the pants as well!

    Not a huge fan of the Roxy debut although I do like it. The albums that followed are much better IMO.

    And let the overlapping begin . . .
    #2 UK = #2 U.S.
    #3 UK = #10 U.S.
    #4 UK = #16 U.S.
    #12 UK = #7 U.S.
    #14 UK = #5 U.S.
    #17 UK = #4 U.S.
    #19 UK = #11 U.S.
    #28 UK = #12 U.S.* (did the UK ish have "Alone Again (Naturally)" inserted in as the U.S. ish did? if not, hence the asterisk here)
    #37 UK = #32 U.S.
    #38 UK = #8 U.S.
    #39 UK = #18 U.S.
    (#5 UK = #72 U.S.)

    (#40 UK = #132 U.S.)
    (#45 UK = #111 U.S.)
    (#50 UK = #142 U.S.)

    F.W.I.W., on the Billboard Top LP's And Tape chart, the Amazing Grace album by The Pipes And Drums And Military Band Of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was at #79. Nowhere to be found under any title on this week's UK chart. Evidently some people were buying that in 'Yank' territory . . .

    And now for what I would have or have had . . . #2, 4, 9, 15, 20, 23, 25, 30, 31, 39, 40, 42, and 49. (Interesting that, in spite of "My Ding-A-Ling" reaching #1 in "Blighty," the LP off which it came didn't chart in 'Eton'.)

    If based on the UK chart . . . #2, 6, 10, 17, 20, 24, 25, 29, 35, and 49.

    If I were in charge of the art department, I would have had the 'WARNER RECORDS' part of the logo in royal blue (PMS 307). Would have fit more the colour scheme used by Warners' in the States first through the 'W7' era (1967-70) and then after they revived the WB shield (1970-73).

    That's a year or two before I really started buying albums but I do have 16 of them, bought retrospectively. Probably the oldest is Abbey Road which was one of the first albums I ever bought, courtesy of a Christmas record token when I was about 10.

    I never really understood what happened to Chicago. Their debut is an absolute powerhouse of in yer face brass & percussion. But then every subsequent release just watered down the template bit by bit until they turned into something wetter than last week's lettuce. Lucrative, obviously, but did they never stop to blush and think "you know what we used to be on fire". I guess not.

    Elton was at his peak here. Even so I often found his '70-'75 albums frustrating listens. Mostly utterly sublime stuff, yet always a couple of ho-hums mixed in. Anyway, here's the brilliant Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters from Honky Chateau:

    I quite like early Chicago but my go-to era is 16 - XXX (not counting endless comps, festive LPs etc). For me, it's excellent pop-rock rather than damp salad. :)

    Part of it, I think, was Peter Cetera. He was the more "poppy" of the original lineup.

    (#39 UK = #51 U.S.)
    (#47 UK = #175 U.S.)
    (#50 UK = #118 U.S - as HELEN REDDY'S GREATEST HITS)
    [#52 UK = #3 U.S.]
    [#53 UK = #12 U.S.]
    [#60 UK = #26 U.S.]

    Based on the U.S. lot . . . well, I may have or have had #46 and #48. From the UK bunch . . . #39 and #47.

    The K-Tel compilations had U.S. versions. No doubt stringent rules about compilation of LP charts were what kept those versions off Billboard's Top LP's And Tape.

    Well, it certainly puts the 'under' into 'whelming'. Black & Blue's decent enough; with one epic - Memory Motel - and one absolute stinker of a reggae cover. Abba's cash-in Greatest Hits was certainly a misnomer; not many actual hits, plus a pile of poo from the first three studio albums. A lot of folk wax lyrical re Dylan's Desire, but that awful Joeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey kills it stone dead for me. Zeppelin were a busted flush, whilst Frampton never got out of the starting gates where I'm concerned. Lots of compilations - including that blasted Eagles MORathon. If I'd to pick a favourite here I'd go for Rastaman Vibration.

    Some absolute dross in the UK album chart compared to the US. Far too many Greatest Hits

    As for Pam Ayres at #15…..!!

    This was when Pam had her own TV show. The World Of Pam Ayres on Friday nights. Just after The Muppets!

    Are you confusing Pam with Patti Smith?

    :D

    Andy Smith .....Like a good pinch of snuff......

    You know you've got too much musical product from the decade when you find yourself thinking..."....'Nicely Out Of Tune'....Did I buy that or not.....?"

    Well now....tricky. While undoubtedly the finest release in the UK charts is Bob's 'Desire', these days I find myself coming back more and more to 'How Dare You?'. It's close.

    Yanks, you smart and savvy people, you had the good sense to chart 'Destroyer' and 'Close Enough For Rock and Roll', yet blow it on "Red card ref!!!" proportions by allowing 'Rock 'N' Roll Love Letter' in. What were you thinking????
