like the forgetful auld bugger that i am i ordered the new 3 cd waterboys set Atlantic rain from amazon and its winging its way to me as we speak.
Whats the problem? i hear you ask. Well im glad you did, you see the problem is i already ordered it from the waterboys website months ago, and had completely forgotten until they kindly sent me an e-mither informing me that it too was speeding toward the rainy city. so if anyone wants a copy of said cd set for the bargain bin price of £25 drop me an message and a deal can be done. Blimey! im turning into Donald ffffin Trump  |

Lots of camping at this show. I remember a flyer floating around the campsites about this band name Fairport Convention recently reforming and that they were "kinda like the UK's Grateful Dead." I thought "hummmmm?" I also ran into to two aquaintences I had recently met and played guitar with them all night that evening. 7 months later, we would form a band. We're on our 40th year now and just released our first record. Two very big parts in my life started that day. Oh.......and the show.....superb! |

I paid 20 quid for the Nick Drake. As someone who still hasn't got a copy of this, I am fully green with envy. Jules |

Why is this £240 for 20 cds and, say, the Leo Sayer one is £65 for 18 cds. Opinions on the perceived quality of the music are not relevant as they are both established artistes. a) quality (packaging etc. not musical quality...) and b) probably most importantly, economies of scale. And backing perhaps, this was put together by a very small team....? Ultimately, it's like saying one doesn't understand why a jag costs more than a mini, isn't it? I mean the Nick Drake box was near enough £100 for 4 discs. If they get the pricing wrong, they won't sell. I bet this sells out and proves to be a decent investment (another answer to your question perhaps)... |

I think music loses some of its appeal when you theorise too much about it, although everyone is entitled to an opinion. (I love the song by the way). Also the best singers dont always make the best music. I love listening to Andrew of Merry Hell for example but would never claim he is the best singer. Two singers with exceptional voices but who were incapable of injecting any feeling or emotion were Karen Carpenter and Mama Cass. Mama Cass's vocal delivery is akin to Ken Bruce reading lyrics on Popmaster.
For the record IMO, and its only my opinion, by far the best singers in "our" genre are Iain Matthews and Edwina Hayes, but there are plenty of great vocal performances by those who are not their equals. |
