Joe Strummer and the Mecaleros - Global A-Go-Go

I knew about this at the time it came out but never heard any of it, then after hearing Mondo Bongo gave it a listen and am very glad I did. Eclectic, funky, funny and with that good old Joe swagger.
 
Time for some 12"

Steve Earle - Copperhead Road

next

The Staple Singers - I'll Take You There

12" not popular round these parts, apparently 20 mins min. per side here, eh?
 
Last one before chefing duties

The Temptations - Papa was a Rolling Stone (11.45)

found on the back of a Four Tops 12" medley of hits, never played that side.
 
Up to SEEZ 30 Ian Dury & Blockheads - Laughter A1, B3. The story this time is about different band members' portraits on the inner sleeve - mine's Norman Watt-Roy and Charley Charles. Disappointing album really as Dury was losing out to drink and drugs. Wilko Johnson on this one.

Perhaps one of the finest examples of the 'singles album', the polar opposite of a 'Telstar' kind of thing. (Do we have a thread?) - Complete Madness Stiff HIT-TV1. Is the id tag a little dig at those telemarketing ads? Mines A-4 B-4. Sounds fantastic too. Not being a buyer of singles, I'm a fan of the well-produced collection, especially when they're not all album tracks. Some of the fades have been chopped, but who doesn't want an extra track per side?
