The Vinyl Countdown # 30
Richard Clayderman, Richard Clayderman (1977) I think it’s true, as the old saying goes, that to own oneRichard Claydermanmay be regarded asa misfortune; to own more than one looks like carelessness.

Blind Faith, Blind Faith (1969) When I first heard the Blind Faith album it was a revelation! I mean, this was back when you read about things and had to wait, had to imagine them first. Couldn’t just click and find out, trial and move on. I was a huge Eric Clapton fan when I […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 109
Curtis Mayfield, Curtis (1970) I guess my introduction to Curtis Mayfield was The Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique (samples) and then after that it was this incredible boxset which sent me through the catalogue and I had most of the key titles on CD and I’m trying to find them all now on vinyl and they’re […]Archive
