I recently hit on Big Country again. Quite phenomenal how many outstanding tracks they put together, so many that it's hard to choose just one.
Rolling Stones at Old Trafford tonight!
Currently having a 'trip' down memory lane with the Incredible String Band.
Some re-issues have nudged these into the forefront of my mind
from 2010
from 2003
Was listening to this on the Friday commute. Individual tracks are a bit dated but it works as an album.
Mini Sims seems to have become a big fan of the Police, so Mrs Sims got their greatest hits. I'm finding it quite agreeable in my middle age with some flash backs to the early 80s with them on the radio.
A bit OTT theatrical but brilliant none the less.

People should always make time for Kate bush.

The placebo version is on is quite also
Short but sweet.
I shall have an examination of Brian Ferry over the coming weeks, ta Eddie.

Now vaguely wondering what "a completely OTT" (as opposed to a "a bit OTT") video would be like 🙂
completely OTT
Beyond the remit of the thread but one of DezB's holiday VHS recordings.

WTF are you on about? For one thing "OTT" means Over the Top. But I guess if you amuse yourself it's all good.
Here's my "retro" (old) music for today, something I listened to over the weekend, cos I found a vinyl album for £1 in a charity shop - and it is mint, not a pop or crackle anywhere. A rare thing. 🙂
I love the fact that it claims to be the original when in fact the whole album is just cover versions.
I love this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aLExozlYhtUI
Edit; it's Caramel, by Cluster. Dunno why linking only works sporadically for me, maybe it's the forum, maybe it's my browser.
Bit of Major Tom.
The old man's back again.
Not sure if its old enough to be classed as retro, but I am loving listening to these lot again.

Oh shit! Yeah fooled me that. HATE covers albums with a passion!
@Mods: Please delete my offensive previous post 😆
forgot, Dylan's a twonk who has not allowed his actual recordings on Youtube, ah, sod 'im.
Also listened to this as it was reiussued (IS the original)

My mate's daughter made a decent covers album (in my view anyway):
Jolly good for her, not something I'll be plugging my headphones in for though.
Diffren' strokes bro..
This thread has the morning at work flying by... 😎
Get an earful of these:
Soul Mining and Infected by The The.
World Without End by The Mighty Lemon Drops.
Of possible interest to some on this thread:
Senser, Credit to the Nation and Collapsed Lung triple bill in London next May!
If i only had one record, it would be this..
Level 42
Whaaaat?! Soundcloud ebedding! New forum is awesome 😆

@trailwagger- my definition of retro when starting this thread was anything you hadn’t heard in a while, so Shed Seven is fine, besides some of us haven’t been around long enough for retro to be older than the late 90s!
Detroit Cobras have been sorting my afternoon.

You know Thea?! I’ve met her a bunch of times at various gigs, such a great singer and songwriter, and a really lovely person with it. Nigel’s a smashing bloke too. You obviously know about Thea’s album ‘Don’t Stop Singing’, her interpretations of songs the sadly missed Sandy Denny wrote over thirty years ago but never finished. I can’t think of anyone who could have brought those songs to life like Thea, she’s completely captured what Sandy was about.
Best played loud:
I never imagined Talk Talk would look like that. I imagined them as a minimalist electro-pop band. Instead they look like like a cross between the Dexys Midnight Runners and Level 42.
