Monkeys Fist 42437 Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Mad though- I knew they ( my parents) were mates with the Animals, Chas Chandler and Hilton Valentine in particular, (Alan Price who was pleasant initially but rapidly became “a right shithouse”), and were on first name terms with about half of The Stones, until they went stratospheric, and had met Hendrix, Clapton etc. After tonight’s Buddy Rich tale, I asked her how many other massively influential musicians they just happened to “know/ had stayed at ours when I as little”? Spencer Davis and Steve Winwood came for tea before a gig, Elton John, before he was well known, The Junco Partners were good friends, The Who played after-hours sets for them numerous times, and she remembers meeting a new band in the late 60s, after she’d finished working there but her younger sisters, who still worked there, knew them- Led fucking Zeppelin. Most of these legendary fuckers came after their gigs at the City Hall and jammed with the house band ( usually the Juncos) and/or anyone who could play. Fucking hell man… I’ve asked her to write it all down, just to have a record of it - ( before she goes micey, we both knew that’s what I meant but politely ignored it.) Zeppelin.

So Christmas is well and truely over in the nb house, I'm off out for an hour's drive to pick up 8sqm of grass turf so I can finish returfing the backyard.

Tom 14011 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Jeez, my mam got me a class pair of headphones purely of her own accord. (sennheiser wireless over ear things) I’m listening to records I’ve been playing over 20 years and hearing new things. The future isn’t all bleak, although I regret the £20 headphone budget I’ve set myself for the past decade.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33192 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I'm hanging out me arse here, mind. Very tempted to actually and seriously ditch the drink till I can go out for a pint with mates. (Don't drink spirits anymore for a reason but I got a present and thought 'oh, go on then'. Silly boy!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was nearly spark out last night with some Beatles on and you can pretty much pick out each track & focus on it if you like. Also some of the more immersive stuff is a genius listen.

Aye, the 50th anniversary remasters are magic work. The production upgrades on Abbey Road, especially are astounding. The crispness of the harmonies on Sgt Peppers too.

The harmonies seem to be done in group recordings and have their own place in the mix. Proper beautiful stuff, especially when they start really fucking with stuff. It’s like discovering music again.
