I knew most of the big hits from this album, which are good. None of the other songs really blows me away though. Good production.

3/5

Beautiful version of the first time ever I saw your face. Decent album overall. The first track sounds terribly mixed for some reason, and the album version of a papa was a rollin stone is inferior to the single version imo, too long, not as powerful.

I don’t know why but I like this album a lot.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Been listening to this album since I was 15 and it’s still great. Nobody defined soul music quite like Otis Redding. His wailing, yearning voice hits like few others. Great songs, arrangements and musicians on this album. RIP Steve Cropper.

Probably 3 1/2 stars but seen as I can’t give half stars, I feel 3 would be harsh.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Not really sure what the fuss about Nick Drake is. Not that’s it’s bad but I don’t get the acclaim.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Like a greatest hits album, incredibly good. Sly was a genius

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

Used to think this was the best Bowie album. Not anymore but it still holds up well. Especially side A

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Surely this can’t be a coincidence, getting this album on Christmas Day?! Some classic Christmas tracks on here, with the Wall of Sound style featuring prominently.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

My problem with dream pop/shoegaze is always the indecipherable lyrics. Sounds good though as usual

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

How can anyone dislike this band? Great songs, their Jackie Wilson Said cover is brilliant. And of course, the iconic Come On Eileen. The As It Should Have Sounded version is great.
