One cracking song that rarely gets a hearing and most may not have come across with not being an arl fogey!

Lady Eleanor - Lindisfarne

Sorry Timbo, missed it.

And that's PP Arnold on backing vocals...

Everything that Paul Weller has tried to be.....but never gets there and never will.

Just seen this.

Great choices!

You can really see just how small the Small Faces were, look at Ronnie Lane dwarfed by his huge bass

The vocal sound on Lady Eleanor is lovely...there's a link between the tunes too I think...didn't one of the fellas from Lindisfarne play with Rod Stewart in the early solo years, have I got that right?

Here's an oldie for you:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/-4qUXcXuMSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/-4qUXcXuMSE</a>

I got into Jim Croce a few months back...weirdly I heard the name of this tune mentioned on a Matthew E White track, at the time I thought it was just a lyric but then I checked out a playlist he posted on Twitter and this Jim Croce fella was on it, followed the trail and realised it was a sly little nod to an artist that White loved...like it when bands lead you back to their influences subtley like that. Anyway, he seems a real cool dude this Jim Croce, and in a weird twist of fate I was in Dig Vinyl just yesterday (went on my lunchbreak for a 'quick nose', ended up £20 lighter and late back from my lunch, and I get an hour as well

) and the album titled after this song was on the front of the folk/country rack for six quid, snapped that up. Also got Wild Thing by the Troggs on 45 for 50p, great B side too. Plus Mike Heron from the Incredible String Band's first solo album 'Smiling Men With Bad Reputations' for three quid, John Cale is all over it playing loads of stuff and Richard Thompson's on it too, well worth an investigation if you've ever liked the ISB...I prefer Heron to Williamson personally as he's the more grounded and earthy of the two...still very weird though

Right, this could actually go into the guilty pleasures thread, however, I often find Billy Joel massively under rated. Many people, when hearing him mentioned, immediately think of Uptown Girl. Pop bollocks!!!

His older stuff I find fantastic, this is for me, possibly his finest work although there are many others I could think of.

Great thread this Timbo, I am looking forward to seeing some boss tunes, and some other stuff which I have yet to discover!

P.s how do I embed?

Jim Croce, yes, Time in Bottle was certainly quite superb....and used to great effect in the Quicksilver scene....

It really was quite tragic he died just as he was starting to get widely recognised.

Here's an old one from a band still doing the touring circuit....

Slightly twee by modern sensibilities I suppose, but quite nicely crafted.

NYC circa 1985.

Walking down in Loisida after a night of clubbing, with the wife and some friends.

Marriot is walking down the street towards us, alone, dressed messy but sharpish, staggering in a short arse shuffling kinda way.

I'm the only Brit and being a huge SF and Humble Pie fan spot him right off.

"Love you, Steve", calls I to his receding form.

"Can I stick my dick up your arse?", He responds.

The problem for Joel is the same one John and Newman to a lesser degree face...people tend to forget how good their earlier music was and only recall what their latter day releases...in fact Joel calls it in the line from The Entertainer....

"But if I go cold I won't get sold I'll get put in the back in the discount rack Like another can of beans".

I think his 77 LP is one of the best released that year and the single from there, Just The Way You Are one of the singles of the year..77 was a good year for singles too.

Elton John is in the same boat...his early work is simply brilliant at times..see the piece I've posted here....there's dozens more I could have posted...but I really like this one.

Yes it's sad when that happens, as it does so often...not liking someone's later work shouldn't make their previous efforts suffer by comparison. Only seems to happen to certain people as well, some seem to get away with it - often the more success people have, especially if combined with a shift towards the mainstream, it seems to wipe memories of their early work.

When I was 15 I went out with a girl from Wythenshawe...I'm sure you can imagine what it was like for a loud mouth Scouser off the Rd End up there.

One night she played me an LP by a woman singer/songwriter and I was initially hateful towards it,I think it was around this time I learnt to keep my mouth shut around girls...they held the key to my...happiness.

She loaned the two LP's by this singer and over a few weeks it started to dawn on me, this singer was actually really good.

I still listen to those LP's now and again and these are actually great pieces from a woman putting her whole soul onto the vinyl. Taken too soon by her addiction.
