Summary “Flush the Fashion” (1980, Warner Bros. Records K56805) is Alice Cooper doing what Alice Cooper does best: spotting a new cultural mood, stealing its jacket, and wearing it on stage. This is his sharp, new‑wave‑leaning detour—tighter songs, colder edges, and hooks that land like a wink and a jab at once. About the Artist … Read more
Summary Out of this world (K‑Tel NE 1051, 1979, Orlake pressing) is a wonderfully of-its-time compilation that bottles the spacey, symphonic side of The Moody Blues and pours it straight onto one very approachable slab of vinyl. If you know the band for big feelings and bigger Mellotron swells, this record delivers the hit of … Read more
Summary To Our Children’s Children’s Children (1969, Threshold THS 1) is The Moody Blues at their most wide‑eyed, cosmic, and quietly philosophical. Released at the tail end of the space-race decade (and just after the first Moon landing), it’s a concept album that looks past 1969’s headlines and asks a sweeter question: what kind of … Read more
Summary“Every Good Boy Deserves Favour” (Threshold THS 5) is The Moody Blues in full, glorious, symphonic-prog flight. Released in 1971, it captures the band at the height of their classic lineup powers: Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas, and Graeme Edge. Think lush Mellotron swells, rich harmonies, cosmic lyrics, and a surprisingly punchy … Read more
Summary“Some People Can Do What They Like” is Robert Palmer’s third solo album, released in 1976 on Island Records (catalog no. ILPS 9420). It’s the sweet spot between his New Orleans–soaked debut “Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley” and the slick MTV icon he’d later become with “Addicted to Love.” Here you get a playful cocktail … Read more
Summary“Maybe It’s Live” (Island Records, ILPS 9665, 1982) is Robert Palmer doing exactly what the title promises: blurring the line between a sweat-drenched live set and a sharp, studio-polished pop‑soul record. It’s part concert document, part sneak‑peek into the next phase of his career. On vinyl, that split personality really shines: you get the raw … Read more
Summary“Steeleye Span Album” (Pickwick Records SHM 3040, 1980) is one of those quietly brilliant budget compilations that sneaks up on you. Pressed by Pickwick, a label known for affordable reissues, this LP pulls together some of Steeleye Span’s finest electric folk moments from their mid‑’70s heyday. It’s not a flashy “greatest hits” with gold foil … Read more
Summary“Equinoxe” (1978 – Polydor POLD 5007 / 2302 084) is Jean‑Michel Jarre’s gleaming, weather‑soaked follow‑up to his surprise blockbuster “Oxygène.” Where “Oxygène” sounded like drifting through space, “Equinoxe” feels like watching the sky change from dawn to storm to midnight, all inside your living room. It’s a continuous, eight‑part electronic suite built for big speakers, … Read more
SummarySlip Jean-Michel Jarre’s “Oxygene” (Polydor 2310 555, 1977) onto a turntable and you’re not just playing a record. You’re opening a window into the moment electronic music stopped lurking in laboratories and walked proudly into the living room. “Oxygene” is a six-part, fully instrumental electronic suite by French composer (not really a singer!) Jean‑Michel Jarre. … Read more
Summary The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) is Pink Floyd’s perfect storm: big ideas, bigger sound, and a prism that launched a thousand dorm-room posters. Pressed in the UK on Harvest with catalog SHVL 804 (EMI code IE 064-05249), this is the album that transformed a cult psychedelic band into arena-filling architects of sound. … Read more
