I've never heard that album Moaty.
Named after the words on the packaging of a brand of condoms.
It's supposed to be their best album.
I think I know 3 tracks from it. The obvious one and two others.

I think I got it in a charity shop. I liked In the Summertime and wanted to find out what a whole album would be like.It didn’t disappoint.

One of my favourite albums is Scott Walker sings Jacques Brel.

So I had a wee look aboot.

Brel wrote some brilliant brilliant tunes.

It's actually a compilation consisting of 3 Brel covers from each of the first 3 Scott Walker albums.
What a singer he was and his Brel covers were great.

Any excuse for more Scott, this time from his 4th album which contained all original material

The song Bob Dylan called the greatest ever written: “I just held two notes down… it’s shivery, icy, almost like outer space kind of sound. Glen went crazy and said ‘We have to get that, we gotta put that on the fade’” - The story of Wichita Lineman​

This great song was recorded by Campbell almost half a century after Wichita and in a time when he was already suffering from Alzheimers.
It was written by Paul Westerberg, who was in a great band called The Replacements, and contains a few sounds you will recognise.
Campbell sings the song brilliantly. A late career triumph and a moving farewell.

Graftin in Dalkeith today and all weekend.

Got my dog and bone and the sounds playing.

Currently listening to REM unplugged.
 
Got both mate. Got a thousand or so tunes on the phone so I ended up just pressing the shuffle button.

So Leonard Cohen's The Future followed by Bowie's Blackstar etc.

Passes the day quite well.
 
If I was ever to work out a lifetime top ten rather than point in time favourites, I think this would be highest outside the dominant trio of simple minds, joy division and new order

Another great horn section though sampled this time.

I love this. Having been into PE since I were a teen this feels like they’ve aged with me. Also posh boy Chuckie lamenting the nihilism of gangster rap is so much more believable than all the pish he came out with in the 80s - that said the outro breaks my heart for nostalgia

Ah the late great Leon Redbone, heard by every person in this country, of a certain age, in an auld train ad.
This is a great appearance from him and his band on the Johnny Carson show in 1987.

Leon Redbone and his group play Diddy Wa Diddy on The Tonight Show (in stereo)

I posted this performance on May, 31, 2019, following Redbone's death. This clip (which appears elsewhere on YouTube, but in inferior quality) is from a 198...

I bought his 'On the Track' album . Back in 1975(?). Bit before the train ad.iirc.
I bought Champagne Charlie and No regrets( which was early 90's iirc).

BTH and I used to head off to the record shops in Aberdeen most Saturdays on the hunt for something new and different .

I knew artists were good if my mates saw them on the OGWT and said they really hated them when we spoke next day at school.
Leon Redbone fell into that category and I wish I had bought his early albums rather than some of the shite I did.
To be fair, I was 14 or 15 when "On The Track" came out, so it was well out of my musical compass for another 5 years.
 
Just mullied oot a living room so having a well deserved cup of Bruce Lee.

And this has just played on ma dog and bone. Very good tune....

The Best of The Stylistics.Philly Soul at its best.

The singing of Russell Thompkins Jr and the production and songwriting skills of Thom Bell make the first couple of Stylistics albums a 5 star delight.
However, after they left Bell in 1974 they were done on the quality front and as a result The O Jays and The Spinners, of the Philly soul groups, were IMO better overall.

Fantastic though that a wee folk group fae Liverpool could compete with the soul giants that were the O Jays and Stylistics 🤠
