I’m sure everyone of the typical pfm age demographic with a reasonably sized record collection will have many albums that haven’t seen daylight for maybe decades. This thread is for those records. Pull ‘em out, play them, and report back. I’ve done three over the past week or so, by coincidence all late ‘70s-early-80s new-wave, but obviously this thread should cover all genres.
a) Public Image Ltd - Flowers Of Romance. I mentioned this one on the recent PIL topic and really it was the spark for this thread. I’d just totally forgotten just how unique and good this record is. It also sounds amazing, which obviously helps. I remember being almost frightened/alienated by it when I bought it as it just sounded like nothing else I’d ever heard. It remains a wonderful outlier.
b) Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance. Another wonderful slab of late-70s WTF released on a imprint of Mercury. I have no idea what the A&R dept of this major label thought they were buying, but I suspect it was not this. Just bonkers, but in a very, very good way. I’ve pulled Dub Housing out ready for a spin too.
c) Talking Heads - 77. I love this album, always have done, but again hadn’t played it for a very long time for no logical reason. It still sounds great, just as fresh and fun as it always did. So well worth pulling out for a spin.
So, go pull a few long neglected gems out... left a bit, right a bit... yes that one.
Have spun OK Computer for the first time in many a year tonight. By no means a Radiohead obsessive but there are some sublime moments on this album.
I dug out two Magazine albums last year, "Real Life" and "Secondhand daylight". It must be at least 10 years since I listened to them, and 25 years since they were played regularly - was really into them during my first year at university. A couple of cracking tracks on "Real Life" (Burst is my favourite). "Secondhand daylight" is a better overall album I think - more flow to it.
I transferred them onto CD and pop them on very month or two.

I knew I'd heard a slightly different version of "Shot by Both Sides".
Hi all,
Just dug out , in my tribe by 10,000 maniacs.
Just brilliant.

The follow-up Blind Man's Zoo is a belter I think, and the one of theirs I play the most. The last 4 tracks especially, which also get used when assessing system changes.
