Discovering old albums

Whilst we are on a theme.......

Ive got the Red Noise Album from the day it came out on coloured vinyl. Its in good nick. I`ve got all the singles too - in coloured vinyl. Unfortunately my Bepop Delux albums were "lent" to people over the years and never returned! [I lend nothing out now!].
Do you remember Bill Nelson on T.F.I. Friday from Newcastle? It must have been early 80s.

Check out the Nelson website (I'm sure people are bored with me me going on about him on here):

Bill Nelson | Dreamsville

Dreamsville is the website for Wakefield born guitarist and musician Bill Nelson, formerly of Be Bop Deluxe and Red Noise.

and as for the interviews:

Can't remember seeing this one when it came out, but it was when he was at his most "pop star" profile. A vain attempt.

Now that we have a bit more time to do this sort of thing, I've been listening to a few oldies, both vinyl and CD. I honestly can't remember buying some of them - I wonder if they were borrowed and someone's still waiting to get them back? Conversely, I've gone to find one and it's not there - did I lend it to someone or sell it? Anyway, I'm playing I'm currently playing My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno & David Byrne from 1981. It's unexpectedly marvellous.

Thanks for that grumpy; I remember the album from when it came out (I think the NME hammered it) but have never heard any of it until a few hour ago when I read your post. I have really enjoyed listening to it a few times this afternoon; what a great soundscape it is.

It immediately reminded me of some of Holger Czukay's 1979 album Movies, which I still listen to a lot (on vinyl). The vocal style on the third track (Regiment) on MLITBOG is very reminiscent of Persian Love from the aforementioned Movies album. Similarly, Holger's old band Can had a great track with a hypnotic rhythm called Halleluwah which I would say was the starting point for the song Qu'ran on MLITBOG.

I really like Bill Nelson. Hes an innovator - a maverick - almost Zappa-esque`. Quite clever for a lad from Wakefield an all

Put this one on late last night and ended up playing it again straight away. One of his lesser loved, quite late period albums, I absolutely loved it then and now...

My wife bought me the 30 year anniversary edition of Hysteria, Def Leppard. Must admit I’d forgotten how good that album was.

Paul Simon's Graceland came out in 1986 - I find it uplifting and innovative and reminds me of my younger times and the first Rioch Promotion season. The music bounces out of the vinyl.

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is great. I see it as a companion piece to one of my favourite albums of all time. Remain in Light by the Talking Heads.

Well thats why I probably don't like the Byrne/Eno album. My favourite T.H is T.H 77 an album I play all the time and is as wonderful and fresh as the day I bought it. Love Byrne and Eno just not together I'm afraid.
