The Vinyl Countdown # 25

Stevie Wonder, As [Single] (1976) I was about to kick this off by saying I’m on a Stevie Wonder kick currently. But then, I’m always on a Stevie Wonder kick. One of the most important music artists in (and of) my lifetime – which is to say his music has been in my heart, mind, […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 26

David Bowie, The Laughing Gnome [Single] (1967) You quickly sort the true believers when you delve into David Bowie’s pre-Ziggy years. Or his David Jones years.

The Vinyl Countdown # 754

Simon & Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) A recent junk-store pick-up; a good score for a buck, it’s scratched up a bit but it plays – and I like a bit scuff on these old pre-loved records anyhow. I’ve mentioned, previously, the yarn about seeing Simon & Garfunkel live and what happened when they […]
