Donald Fagen’s ‘The Nightfly’ album well worth checking out

Listened to I Should Coco the other day for the first time in years.

I tell you what, it's still a bit bloody good.

[Homer]

If anyone can beat three rhymes in one couplet:

"Spend your money girls, on sprays and lipsticks
Tested on bunnies, girls, strays and misfits

"Ozone friendly rape alarms, for those blinding dates
Another summer of hate"

[CaledonianGonzo]

All time fave sixties bubblegum single.

Arthur Brown - Voice of Love - Glastonbury Festival 2011.

This remains one of the better memories of the festival and life generally. Arthur can sing, very well indeed! He can sing. This song sums up the fundamental dichotomy between the imagined, the dreamt and the real, the voice or Love.

Come on? You all need to hear and see what is going on here??

Remiss of me, but I'm not the greatest Who fan so I'm not familiar with many of their albums, but I recently acquired The Who Sell Out reissue (mono & stereo versions). After a couple of listens I understand why it's so highly regarded. It's a brilliant bit of 1967 pop. What's more, unusual for these reissues, some of the extra tracks are class too. Better than Tommy in my opinion. Recommended.

It's a wonderful and underrated album, and they out out some great non-LP singles around it too. In fact I'd say the Who didn't put a foot wrong from day one until the relatively lacklustre (and aptly-titled) 'By Numbers' in '75.

Only know this courtesy of the original Austin Powers soundtrack, and it never seems to crop up anywhere else. Great bit of 1967 psych pop

 

[bamber]

When I think of this tune I think of Kym Mazelle, but that is wrong. The Kym Mazelle version is epic, no doubt, but this is the original remix baby. So polished this, an exceptional example of recording.
