Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

"And I don't care what Rufus Thomas, Stones and Who fans say, Feelgood's version of Walking the Dog is the boss."

"Pure excitement, CC. Great stuff."

Yeah l was 17 when that came out and lately I've been going down memory lane playing stuff from when l was young and (not so ) handsome

cheeses cruyf 6:25 Tue Oct 2 Down By The Jetty is a good album...the sound quality on the copy I currently have is a bit ropey though...not just mine either by many accounts!

i think that is the case yes. I think there would have been a sound argument for keeping it instrumental

"cheeses cruyf And none taken at all, mate."

"eusebiovic 6:15 Tue Oct 2 You might be right about that last one, mate."

Was just listening to Dr Feelgood - Roxette Dont know why but when l read Surface's posts l imagine he looks like Wilko ! No offence !

Weezer's Blue Album. Nearly 25 years old now!

"Debs - iirc Weller wrote the music and White the original lyrics. The single, 'Have You Ever Had It Blue' was just Weller"

SurfaceAgentX2Zero 6:00 Tue Oct 2 You're right about the stand up comics instructions...that didn't belong... The last one was bad...being kind many said they were trying to anticipate Acid Jazz... I reckon they were trying to get out of the contract with Polydor by releasing something so awful that would do the job!

He'd have got them for the single and White for the version on the album surely? I am.surprised you were ever much of a Style Council fan tbh

Weller knew the lyrics were cunty so re-wrote them and stole White's royalties. The cսnt.

"I know. He's a cսnt, too."

"Weller didnt write it, Steve White did"

No. They changed them because they were a pile of cսnt.

"Didnt they change the lyrics to With Everything To Lose so that it would fit better with the film.it was being used for? Lyrics aside, lovely bit of musicianship on that song."

"It is good overall, but 'With Everything to Lose' is so cunty they had to rewrite the lyrics for the single and 'The Stand Up Comedian's Instructions' is even cuntier, featuring, as a does, a particularly cunty vocal from Lenny 'the Cun't Henry. Cost of Loving is just beyond cunty, being a total cunt-fest of cunt-like proportions.. The last two are just shit."

even with spelcheck my typing is shocking. I meant stonking good version of Money go.Round. oh and All Gone Away is still in my top three Style Council Tracks of all time.

Darlo Debs 5:41 Tue Oct 2 Cafe Bleu was fun...OFS a little more introspective and political but still good overall...

iirc Introducing has a stoning version of Money-Go-Round on it

Cafe Bleu is better than 'Our Favourite Shop' and 'Introducing...' is better than both. There are signs of impending cuntiness on OFS.

i.loved some of the jazzy big band songs on Cafe Bleu

Not sure who sings it but.... I'M IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPERRRRRRRRRRR

Darlo Debs 5:30 Tue Oct 2 The initial EP and first two albums were quality...but Polydor were terrible for pushing artists to churn out product... I think that The Cost of Loving was rushed and the 3-4 good songs would have worked better with the 5-6 good ones from Confessions... So a potentially stunning album was in bits and pieces over two releases. Shame really ;-)
