On the Beach I remember the anticipation after buying that bootleg copy at the Dunelm CD fair - it was great the first time and it’s still great now. See the Sky About to Rain, Revolution Blues, Motion Pictures and Ambulance Blues are some of my favourite NY songs, but every song is great and the whole album is fantastic - melancholy, angry, loose, atmospheric. I love the Wurlitzer on See the Sky and the banjo on For the Turnstiles, and the bass, whoever is playing, is excellent. After the Gold Rush, Harvest, this and Tonight’s the Night is an incredible run of albums, 4 of his best. Sometimes those ‘lost’ albums can be better in the imagination, but this is excellent in reality. Actually hard to say much more, it’s just brilliant. Easy 5. 🏖️🏖️🏖️🏖️🏖️ Playlist submission: Really depends on my mood, today I’ll say See the Sky About to Rain
