I saw a fantastic programme about punk a few years back. When asked about that song, Hugh (IIRC) gave this long talk about heroin and how it can ruin lives. Then they cut to Jet Black who just said "I thought it was about toast."

My mum (who is incredibly naive in a lot of ways, bless her) thought "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones was about "a coloured girl".

Her words, not mine!

Nah, the greatest Live CD I've got has got to be the earliest Sisters gigs, courtesy of The Cat In The Hat himself.

JK covered the SISTERS?

Nah, it was Dr Seuss.

Asda had a bunch of Queen CDs on sale for less than a fiver each. Only Queen I, Jazz and the Game to go before I've recovered all their vinyl I had to sell to supplement my student grant.

Good boy, Francis. I noticed in HMV too, due to the recent New Order album (I've got it on vinyl, like I said, but it's really not that good), they've rereleased all the New Order records on CD, and even all the Joy Division CDs. I bought Unknown Pleasures and Still, but to be honest, I want them on vinyl.
After all, if I want a CD, I can burn it myself. If I want a record, I'd have to spend a hell of a lot to press my own.

If you are so taken with Rainbow - Rinsing (sic) check out as ems recommended*

• Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous*
  Uriah Heep - Live
  Deep Purple - Machine Heid
  Free - Live
  and of course...
  The Who - Live At Leeds

I still remember the first time I listened to parallel lines on vinyl [1982], it's still soooo good!! recently got it on cd so can keep in the car.
Atmosphere is just amazing/profound/unique.

Funny, the guy who sold it to me didn't like it, saying She's Lost Control (the b-side) was much better. But he's a punk at heart, even if he DOES own all the Sisters records.

"new dawn fades" is a better track though.

I agree with him. I also prefer Novelty to Transmission.

i may have to disagree with you there Francis...Transmission is one of my all time must have 12" singles...true classic in it's own right...the B'side never came into it

where as "She's Lost Control" is an excellent song and a worthy B'side...i can't say that i prefer it over Atmosphere...although it is a very tight call

yeah, but what you gonna do when the novelty is over, Francis?

Records - what are these "Records"
