I bought this album off my Cousin about 1973. Loved the album and it is still one of my favourite albums of all time. Teach Your Children and Guinnivere are my favourite tracks. Well worth a listen

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

I first borrowed Duran Durans first album from my local library and was so impressed at the quality of this debut album. Rio continued this as a well produced album containing some fantastic tracks such as: Holding Back The Rain and a number of single releases which included the title track along with Hungry Like The Wolf and Save A Prayer. Great memories of all the accompanying videos

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

5/5

I really enjoyed Funeral their debut album, listened to it as it was in the NNE top 100 albums of all time. Neon Bible was a pleasure to listen to my favourite track was Intervention, I loved the pipe organ introduction and haunting lyrics.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Brilliant album favourite track Cinnamon Girl & Down By The River. Not a bad track on the whole album.

Blur

3/5

An ok album not my favourite Blur offering. Look Inside America and Your So Great the outstanding tracks on the album which contains a lot of experimental pieces, which may take a couple of listens to appreciated fully?

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

I have not heard a lot of Sarah Vaughan. This live album is exceptional, Sarah has such a pure voice. The songs she sings must have been the top songs of the day, most have become classics. My favourites were September In The Rain, Just A Gigolo and It's Got To Be Love. Well worth lots more listening.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

First time I have listened to an entire Motorhead album. Every track was a good one my favourite tracks were Ace Of Spades, We Are The Road Crew and Shoot You In The Back. I thought I was listening to a remake of Alice Cooper's School's Out when Jailbait came on the intro is very similar. Overall a great album.

The Renaissance
