I've got the album but don't remember ever listening to it except for the wonderful ' something wicked' which I kept putting on compilations for myself and others. I'll dig it out and give it a listen if you think it's all good.
Rediscovering old albums...

Just played the unutterable and levitate. Good mid/latish fall.
The Who By Numbers - saw the vinyl on the shelf and it still sounds pretty good. A couple of the songs are effectively Pete Townsend solo tracks eg Blue Red and Grey but there are some great group numbers - including Slip Kid, Dreaming from the waist plus the inimitable Squeeze Box!

I always found the first two tracks tough then it’s great from there on in!!

That one's never been off my playlist since I got into Bruce around 1980, New York City Serenade is close to my favorite Springsteen song, the whole of that side of the album is absolutely brilliant!

Leftfield - Leftism. I always forget just how amazing this album is. Just makes me wish I could get some stonking big speakers in my room to listen to it on!

Not as much fun as big speakers. When the kids leave home and I don’t have to share some Cornwalls will be mine...

Average at best.
I was ripping some CDs the other day and came across Fiona Apple's When the pawn... and Sting's Dream of the blue turtles, I can't remember the last time I even thought of those albums let alone listened to them. I thoroughly enjoyed them both though when I gave them a play post rip.

My first favourite band. Still love the first two albums. Roy Thomas Baker did a fantastic job on production. They did a great gig at that Brighton student rock thing on BBC. The students were horrible to them but The Cars were typical of a lot of American rock bands. Tight, accurate and on the money. They never broke the UK but were huge in the states. The later albums were a bit keyboardy but still love them.
Still have my picture disc of My Best Friends Girl Friend

Quite possibly my all time favourite album. Not really a big Bruce fan but that album in particular just seems to hit the spot.

Proof reading not always a strength
EST - Winter in Venice
I listen to EST a lot, especially in winter, but over recent years have gravitated to their later recent stuff from Strange Place for Snow onwards and the live recordings. Last night I dipped into some older records and had a wow moment when playing this one. It is quite sublime and without the bass being played through effect pedals and some of the other more rock orientated production and dynamics they used in their later stuff. This may now move to the front of the queue more often.
