Swede Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah, called Scandinavian Nights ? Yeah, that and Wring That Neck are both over 30 minutes long ! The version I just bought was released in 2005 and is remixed from the original master tapes. The running order of the tracks is also different to Scandinavian Nights as they had to change them around bit to suit the time restrictions of vinyl. Excellent live album anyway. Yes, that was the title. I haven't heard it in almost 20 years. I remember Wring That Neck too!! If I come across it I'll buy it once again.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) The following album costed me NZ $ 36 because it was a freakin' import! But, luckily, money wasn't an objection because I had some second hand text books to sell! Ha! But my parents, don't know, yet of my little transaction Edited January 10, 2011 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been wanting it for a few years, but never saw it on CD at a decent price, it was always the wrong side of £10. I eventually downloaded it from iTunes for £7.99 with some Christmas money.

Mandrake Root and Wring that Neck from the In Concert record was the first I heard of Purple other than SOTW, great stuff, we need to get the Purple thread up again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I used to have this on vinyl, which was released in the late 80's. If my memory serves me correct there were a really cool version of Mandrake Root on it.. Somebody borrowed the record from me, haven't seen it since that day. Which is exactly why I quit lending out records a long time ago. Instead I'd offer to record 'em a copy on cassette or these days, on CD.

Jahfin Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Paul Simon, Graceland's, for the wife you understand? If you're worried what others think about the kind of music you buy because you feel it calls your masculinity (or lack thereof) into question then you've got other things to be concerned about. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Paul Simon as well as Simon & Garfunkel. Not to mention what an outstanding record Graceland is. Looking forward to Paul's new album which'll be out this Spring.

Your wife is one lucky lady! My mom really loves that album and as a matter of fact, so do I (we had it in cassette form, years earlier but the sound quality, unfortunately took a turn for the worse )! I think you should give it a listen! I think you'll like what you hear! Edited January 10, 2011 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGDAN Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Jafhin, Fool, Kiwi, You can cut out the very amateurish psychology, I never said I didn't like or I hadn't heard Graceland's did I? nor will I ever admit to it openly, the ignominy would be too great.

It is indeed lovely to listen to old classics again (in the company of my mom) like "Mrs. Robinson", "The Boxer", " The Sounds Of Silence", "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Scarborough Fair". Brings back lots of awesome childhood memories, for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my parents, don't know, yet of my little transaction You sure are a sneaky one there eh, aren't ya, girlie? Only kidding, mate! All jokes apart, I have Elysian Encounter as a 45. My boyfriend bought it for me on Valentines Day, last year. Good purchase, there. I noticed that you purchased the debut album as well as Hearts on Fire. What do you think of 'em so far? I don't have those in 45 at the moment and the local record stores here aren't helping either But I'm wondering which to purchase from an online store. So, would love some input from you, thanks.

Well, I personally recommend the debut album of The Baker Gurvitz Army. The songs to look out for in particular are : "Help Me", "Love Is", "Memory Lane" and "Inside Of Me". The rest of the album is quite good too but these are the stand-outs. The second album "Hearts On Fire" was a bit of a disappointment for me. A lot of the songs on that album resembles disco. Don't get me wrong. I do like a bit of disco but I think Ginger Baker went a bit too far with it! The songs, I like are "My Mind Is Healing" and "Hearts On Fire". Yes, just the two! Emma Jane, my sincere advice to you is save your money and buy ONLY the debut album. Stay away from "Hearts On Fire" (if "Disco Rock" irritates you, that is). Just my two cents!

Thanks for the tip, Kiwi. I can tolerate disco to quite an extent. Besides, my brother is rather nuts about bands like the Bee Gees and the trend has sort of rubbed off on me, so to speak! So, I think I'll buy both the albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Bought myself two 45's that have been on my want list for a long time, but have just not prioritized to buy them.. but finally they are in my possesion. The Pretty things are probably my favorite 60's British R'n'B band. They make the Stones sound like mother in law's favorite boys..

Jahfin Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) Stephen Stills first solo album. I already have SS2, all of Buffalo Springfield and the classic Manassas. Have you picked up Manassas' Pieces record that came out a couple of years ago? If not, it's really good stuff, at least to my ears. Bought these yesterday, the Tony Joe White came from the budget bin so it was a steal. Been waiting on The War of Drugs since I first ordered it back in October. They were one of many highlights for me from last year's Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh. I can't wait to see them again when they open for Destroyer at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro in April.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) After 4 months of literally waiting in agony, I FINALLY managed to purchase these : I've given both the albums a couple of spins and while both are just great, I prefer "The Alchemist" to "Firewood". I guess (to me) it's because the guitar riffs are deadlier, the lyrics are even creepier and the Sabbath influence is more profound on "The Alchemist" in comparison to "Firewood". Here are some of my favourite songs from "The Alchemist" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PYEMyyAd_Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDE-zsOH9tU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCDUc07ptKM Edited January 18, 2011 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
