Musings about music, mostly, from Munich..
For me it is her worst album.

Indeed he did! I think he played the Artful Dodger, as did a certain Phil Collins!

Still holding out a forlorn hope that one day you will play a show here in Munich!

Looks dodgy Mike! That address has too many 'y's in it!

2)..accents!
Side 2 is a ‘concept’ suite of great songs linked by spoken-word bits voiced by the long-forgotten “hilarious” Stanley Unwin.
This can be a bit off-putting, depending on whether you find “the Professor” funny or not.
If only it had worked out with their first choice of Spike Milligan!

I have never understood why this album of theirs is so poorly thought of!
I think it's great, as are all of their records!

2)...it contains hints as to why global domination was not to be theirs.

For one thing - it does come over as being a bit pompous.

For another thing - bagpipes.

I must admit to being perplexed about the implications of this!!
November 7, 2025 at 3:10 PM
Yes, but I find it hard to believe, to be honest!

That's a connection I didn't think of Mike!
Roy's requested "fee" for singing on WYWH was supposed to be a lifetime's membership at Lord's cricket ground in London! An agreement that Floyd never came through with, so Roy has never been "paid" for that performance...

It just illustrates your point, that in 1980 The Beatles were almost a forgotten band, especially amongst the younger generation.

Growing up in the UK, when Lennon was shot I went to school that morning in shock and discovered that nearly all of my class mates were utterly indifferent to the news!
November 6, 2025 at 6:11 PM
and there is a connection between Roy's guest spot on Wish You Were Here and cricket, by coincidence! Know what that is, Mike?
November 6, 2025 at 6:08 PM
That's great to know, many thanks!

2)...held within a tight-fitting slip-case which has a lenticular cover photo.
This tight fit leads to a somewhat stressful experience when trying to get the sleeve out without causing any damage, however!

Their best album.
November 6, 2025 at 2:09 PM
I've always wondered whether the title means "new world" as in the USA, or "world record" as in being the best at something...
November 6, 2025 at 2:08 PM
Yep, I really like this album!
November 5, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Thanks! Will check it out!

would you recommend this JA album Pete? I've never seen it before...
November 4, 2025 at 8:40 PM
for me, this whole 'back scratching' exercise was just a dull waste of his time and talents...

Rumour ALWAYS has it that Kate is working on new music....don't hold your breath!
