Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[Nocturama]

@Aetas - not that I own a CD player any more, but I have the 3” mini-CD from 1989!
Just listening to the song now - streamed of course!

[Steve]

@GraemeE that Birds album is great, so much effort used to go into covers!

[Steve]

The songs on this album aren't particularly sensual, I feel it was just a chance to get a semi naked woman on the cover, which seems quite common for disco/funk albums of the 70s!!!

[SKT]

@Steve @GraemeE Here are a few covers that I think are cool. And I do miss the art and effort that went into an album’s design.

[SKT]

@Steve Disco Erotica! 70’s must have been fun

[SKT]

[Steve]

@SKT That Stones cover is fantastic. I'm gonna have to look out for that one!

[GraemeE]

@SKT - I don't own it yet but Satanic Majesties is probably my favorite stones album artwork

[SKT]

Few more that I find visually interesting
Prince & The Revolution-Around the World in a Day

Talking Heads-Little Creatures

Little Feat-Sailin Shoes

[GraemeE]

I'm going to have to listen to that Prince based on the artwork alone and am huge fan of the Talking heads - this will be a good theme for my listening today (choosing albums with visually pleasing artwork )
Based on this my morning will continue with these:

Scott Walker - 3
Nick Drake -Pink Moon
Soft Machine - Self Titled

[SKT]

@GraemeE all amazing cover art but I really love the Nick Drake

[steelworker]

@GraemeE Soft Machine hell yeah

[GraemeE]

@steelworker - love those guys

Big fan of Ayers and Wyatt solo albums as well, even though it's a departure from the vibe of their earlier stuff with SM

[Aetas]

Beatiful contribution everyone!

Tonight I was in the mood for the Dexy’s.

Story behind…
I have several singles and LP’s of DMR.
When I was for the first time in England in 82, brought back a lot of punk and soul vinyl, because I spend more time in London than in Brighton, I was supposed to be .

‘Searching for the young soul rebels’ became a long time friend, because of its Stax recommendation marked in blue.

Tracked down some of these Stax singles over the years and love them.

[SKT]

@Aetas great story behind the album and that Stax playlist is incredible. I need to spend some time going down that musical rabbit hole! Thanks for posting!

[Aetas]

@SKT
Thanks for your reply!
Behind was the Sugar Hill Box Set from 1997.
Another rabbit hole to exoplore…

@Aetas Thanks for the flashback!! I remember being a kid and hearing that for the first time. At that time, there was nothing like it...

I didn't know that they had re released that album though. The original came out in 1982.

[GraemeE]

@steelydan - that jazz trio is Carter, Jones and Williams?

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , yes ... Awesome bass , definitely demo quality.
