John Lennon Gimme Some Truth [Deluxe Edition] Capitol I’ve been listening to some version of this collection my whole life. The Very Best, Ultimate, Working Class Hero, Greatest Hits, and even Gimme Some Truth – er “imagine” that. Lol.

Jeff Lynne’s ELO: Wembley or Bust

Jeff Lynne’s ELO Wembley or Bust Columbia Jeff Lynne has been taking stock in recent years – then again, maybe that’s all he’s ever been doing. But there was the reworking of classic ELO songs as a one-man-band. And a solo album of crooner-covers. Then, finally a new studio album of originals under the new […]

The Velvet Underground’s Loaded: Loaded/Fully Loaded, 45 Years On And Still Going…

Those four studio albums by The Velvet Underground all made a huge impact on me. But the sentimental favourite is Loaded – it was the very first CD I purchased. I was a tape buyer, right through until the early-1990s, I wasn’t going to give up that tape collection…I had a tape-deck in my car […]

Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition)

Stevie Nicks Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition) Rhino Entertainment Company It was an interesting time – and very creative – for Fleetwood Mac and its members post-Rumours. The popular narrative suggests they never bettered it, but they did something much better in a way, they diversified. Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood both made solo records in […]

Phil Collins: Hello, I Must Be Going! (Deluxe Edition)

Phil Collins Hello, I Must Be Going! (Deluxe Edition) – Take A Look At Me Now: Reissue Series Rhino Records/Warners The reissue series made me dig out my vinyl copy of this album again – and I’ve further refined the opinion from there. In fact Hello, I Must Be Going! is actually the most complete […]

Phil Collins: Both Sides (Deluxe Edition)

Phil Collins Both Sides (Deluxe Edition) – Take A Look At Me Now: Reissue Series Rhino Records/Warners Where Face Value was easy to defend/praise I didn’t think that would be the case with Both Sides, also reissued as part of the Take A Lot At Me Now series and paired with Collins’ debut.

Phil Collins: Face Value (Deluxe Edition)

Phil Collins Face Value (Deluxe Edition) – Take A Look At Me Now: Reissue Series Rhino Records/Warners I still think Face Value – here reissued, as part of a thoughtful career-overview/overhaul reissue campaign – is a classic album. I’m sure of it. I’ve always liked it. I’ve had a couple of goes at defending/appraising the […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 769

Sleater-Kinney, No Cities To Love – Deluxe (2015) It was the first great record of last year – even if it took me a wee while to get some thoughts down about it. I had the album, the review-link, late in 2014 and I thrashed those songs across the summer break this time last year. […]

Neil Young: Storytone

Neil Young Storytone Reprise It hasn’t been the best year for Neil Young releases – but that prolific nature continues. In fact that’s more the curse than blessing in 2014 – a patchy, often pointless memoir (that was absolutely and only for the hardcore fans) and the daft Jack White-assisted “Letter Home” from some bygone […]

Rufus Wainwright: Vibrate – Best Of

Rufus Wainwright Vibrate: The Best Of Universal Music Enterprises Spanning 1998-2012 here is the best of Rufus Wainwright. I’ve always found him best as an album artist, each album feels – so completely – like its own thing, closed off from anything else. You recognise the voice, the albums line up next to one another […]
