Thanks to Monkey I'm now hip to Lloyd Alexander Real Estate! And I thought I knew it all when it came to the UK mid 60's mod/r&b genre!Wilthomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310808241428717740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993499717184568859.post-31540874243737699812012-03-12T20:49:10.811-04:002012-03-12T20:49:10.811-04:00I can recall back in the 80's drooling over th...I can recall back in the 80's drooling over the rare original copy of their LP but just today I mused about how very few of the songs on it moved me and how I reckon their best work was a few 45's.Wilthomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310808241428717740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993499717184568859.post-65720420235875621692012-03-12T17:38:46.357-04:002012-03-12T17:38:46.357-04:00Totally with you here.

Funny how some songs age better than others. Still reckon that the look they had on the Beat Club is spot-on. Perfectly cut hipsters and button-downs have scarcely been carried off so well.Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975282714651024572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993499717184568859.post-1261248481900845742012-03-11T14:26:01.964-04:002012-03-11T14:26:01.964-04:00Man, we used to be so huge into the Smoke... it wa...Man, we used to be so huge into the Smoke... it was after their first collected CD was released.<br /><br />For us, it was exciting to be moving on to the lesser-known bands of that period, after already going through the Action, Small Faces, Artwoods, etc.<br /><br />Along with the Smoke, we started concentrating on the Motions and the Fleur De Lys. I miss those days of discovery!Supermodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441428489565098268noreply@blogger.com
