The Babys – Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980 (2019) [6CDs Box Set]

The Babys - Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980 (2019) [6CDs Box Set]

Reading interviews with members of the late-’70s hard rock-meets-new wave group the Babys, one might think their short career was a failure. To a man, they feel like they didn’t get the breaks or the push that they needed to build a long and lucrative run at the top of the charts. No doubt that there is some truth to that, and it would have been nice for them on a personal level to have become as big as Journey or REO Speedwagon, but listening to HNE Recordings’ six-disc collection Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980, it’s clear that on a musical level the band were quite successful Continue reading “The Babys – Silver Dreams: Complete Albums 1975-1980 (2019) [6CDs Box Set]”

Emitt Rhodes – Emitt Rhodes (1970) [2001, Japan, Reissue]

Emitt Rhodes - Emitt Rhodes (1970) [2001, Japan, Reissue]

Although it probably wasn’t meant as such, this self-titled album is Emitt Rhodes’ definitive statement. Soon after disbanding the Merry-Go-Round (of “Live” fame), Rhodes scored a solo deal with Dunhill. Rather than recording with a band or using studio musicians (which he did with his first “solo” album American Dream), the multi-instrumentalist decided to build a small, primitive home studio and record the entire affair there, “At Home.” Continue reading “Emitt Rhodes – Emitt Rhodes (1970) [2001, Japan, Reissue]”

Joe Strummer – Assembly (2021)

Joe Strummer - Assembly (2021)

It was Joe Strummer’s good fortune that he was the frontman of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, the Clash. It was his burden that after the group broke up, he had to spend the rest of his career being judged by a standard that meant only so much to him. Very little of what Strummer did as solo artist followed the musical template of the Clash, and that was just the way he wanted it. Continue reading “Joe Strummer – Assembly (2021)”

Gary Numan – Intruder (2021) [Deluxe Edition]

Gary Numan - Intruder (2021) [Deluxe Edition]

‘Intruder’ is Numan’s 18th solo studio album and follows 2017’s ‘Savage: Songs From A Broken World’, which became his highest charting set in almost forty years when it debuted at #2 on the Official Albums Chart.

Tom Petty – Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions) (2021)

Tom Petty - Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions) (2021)

Originally released on the limited-edition Super Deluxe edition of Wildflowers….And All the Rest, Finding Wildflowers contains alternate versions of most of the album’s songs. Notably, the single “You Don’t Know How It Feels” is absent, along with “Time to Move On,” but the B-side “Girl on LSD” is here, as are two versions of “Cabin Down Below,” including a nicely shambling version of the blues tune.

VA – Looking Through A Glass Onion (The Beatles’ Psychedelic Songbook 1966-72) (2020) [3CD-Set]

VA - Looking Through A Glass Onion (The Beatles' Psychedelic Songbook 1966-72) (2020) [3CD-Set]

Three CDs. Looking Through A Glass Onion assembles these disparate strands into one cohesive package, with the studio day trippers, the cultural pranksters, the genre-benders, the folk club stalwarts and the hair-down-to-his-knees prog-rock brigade all grooving up slowly to the starting line. Though largely forgotten now, Liverpool quartet The Beatles were the toppermost of the poppermost in the Sixties, responsible for some of the biggest-selling singles of all time and a series of ground-breaking albums that dictated musical trends until their next LP emerged.

Paul Stanley’s Soul Station – Now And Then (2021) [Japan]

Paul Stanley's Soul Station - Now And Then (2021) [Japan]

Famous rock stars paying homage to a genre that inspired them is nothing new, though more often than not, these vanity projects manifest themselves in the form of well-meant but heavy-handed Americana “roots” collaborations or the inevitable jazz standards record. As the frontman for Kiss, Paul Stanley has made a lasting impact on rock & roll, marshalling one of the industry’s most die-hard fan bases, the Kiss Army, well into its fifth decade of obsession.

Peter Gabriel – Plays Live (1983) [2021, Remastered]

Peter Gabriel - Plays Live (1983) [2021, Remastered]

‘Plays Live’ was compiled from live recordings made at four venues across the American Midwest in late 1982. It is effectively a sign-off to the first phase of Peter Gabriel the solo artist. As such, it’s a celebration of all that was achieved on that opening quartet of self-titled long-players, while also standing as confirmation that Peter was an engaged and engaging frontman. At the time, all bar one of the tracks would be familiar to the Gabriel completist, the exception being the previously unreleased ‘I Go Swimming’.
