Down by the Jetty...love that album...forgot all about it thanks for reminding me.

Got the zombies on now! Enjoying it. Looking forward to getting through this list especially Ed Hardcourt. Great stuff from the Modfather again 🙌🏻

I bought some Ed Harcourt some years ago, record collection is at my parents house, forgot I even had it!

Great choices Paul

Really like good album reviews, decided to get a lot of LPs through looking at KZread, looks like definitely check out the last one, already had the first.

One thing that people might not know about Down By The Jetty is that it's in mono.

Yeah... the 2006 deluxe edition was the first time the album was released in stereo, although alternative versions of some songs had to be used for true stereo.

@@alfching2499 Agreed and what is the point of stereo? In Beatle records for instance the bass is positioned in the centre of the sound stage whereas McCartney stood to the left. The only record I know produced to match the traditional positions of the group is the first Ramones' LP where the bass is to the right and Johnny's guitar to the left. Even live LP's are produced differently to the appearance of the group in the picture on the cover. The only benefit I would say, I use the word advisably, is where some silly effect is used to make an instrument, perhaps a saxaphone, appear to fly from one speaker to another as if the musician was on wires. I listen to music in the car, even more stupid, like the guitarist is sitting in my air vent or wing mirror.

Paul slagged off bowie in an early interview....i think bowies legend....so is Paul!

Everyone needs a bit of Doctor Feelgood in their collection, stripped down back to basics scruffy R&B preferably played loud, songs like Down to the Doctor, Milk & Alcohol and She does it Right, class stuff.

Loved Dr Feelgood 😎👍

Saw them at the Kursaal in Southend in 1974 . With a sprung wooden floor the huge banks of speakers on the stage were swaying back and forth with the movement of the crowd . Happy days ! Also saw Alex Harvey there .

I spent a few hours on PhotoShop today. I thought I was pretty good until I saw the thumbnail on the cover photo. Boss.

Thank you for the suggestions Paul. I listened to the Zombies when I was young. I'd forgotten how good they were. I once saw Colin Blunstone in concert in Bristol (70's)when he went single. He was good but different. I shall look up the others.

I’m surprised Weller only has 5 records!

_Innervisions._ Yeah, you can hear Stevie in Weller. A proper influence.

O.m.g we've got the SAME collection. Mind you iam the same age.

Surprisingly no Small Faces....

The Dr

"Sexuality" by Billy Bragg .....

I wonder why there's no acid rock? Duh, duh, duh

My wifes surname is Weller (German) wonder if there is any relation anyways fantastic Fat Pop !

Gutted was offered free tickets to see the zombie in Scotland but didn’t want to go alone.

Weller's starting to look like the missing 3rd Corbyn brother.

Never saw the attraction of anything Weller ever did. No tunes and hooks in his songs. He always sounds like he’s making the vocal melodies up as he goes along.

Obviously we all have differing musical tastes but I have to say your narrow minded opinion of Paul Weller which is generally praised even by those outside of his appreciated circle is naive and uneducated.

Sure there are tunes in the Jam songs and in his solo stuff. If there are fewer hooks, it’s probably because the vocals, at least in many Jam songs, have this spoken, conversational intensity. I mean, there’s anger and frustration and longing in the songs, and not so divorced from the kind of sound, vibe you’d hear when he spoke. Now, I know, you’re going to clobber me as a pretentious git, but there is my take on things. Just try That’s Entertainment again, especially that line about “two lovers in the tranquility of solitude”-- man, he sings that line and he just captures that little scene.

What wound me up sometimes with him is when he would try to cram too many words into a line, like he does in "A Town Called Malice", and others. Maybe he got that from John Lennon's "Woman Is The Nigger Of The World", which does something similar. Don't know how you can say none of Weller's songs have hooks, though . . .

Looks like Weller attended the Bill Murray school of ageing. No denying what he meant to British music, though.

I wouldn't deny The Jam's talent. But I have to say that, although I was in my 20s both a Jam and a Stranglers fan, today, in my late 50s, I only keep listening to the Stranglers... I wouldn't be able to explain why though.

Down By The Jetty. Class ❤

what a bore fest . how can anyone not include Bowie

Very narrow and limited taste in music.
