His Name Is Alive - Can't Always Be Loved 7"


I think this must have been a Peel thing, I vaguely remember hearing it on the radio and then going out to buy it the next day. Got the album this is off, too, and it's really great. Hope you like it.

Has a great thing on side A, which is that the single goes straight into the 4-track demo of the same song without any gap. Nice touch, as is having a version of my other favourite of their tunes as the B-side, pleasingly ramshackle, and they clearly didn't know how to end it. The album/single version of this one is worth seeking out too.

Please excuse any pops and crackles, I dropped this down the back of the sofa at one point.

1. Can't Always Be Loved (radio)
2. Can't Wait Forever (4-track)
3. Wish I Had A Wishing Ring (first one)

It's right here for you.

The Posies - Definite Door 7"


Hi. I had a couple of other things to put up, but then listened to this 7" for the first time in ages, and it is just brilliant, so thought I would demonstrate good sharing this month.

Great single, and three excellent covers, the middle one of which I'd never heard before, but very familiar with the other two. Hope you enjoy it!

Also I hope you appreciate that wherever and whenever I bought this, I paid 10p.

1. Definite Door
2. Song Of A Baker
3. Ooh Child
4. I Am The Cosmos

Here you go.

The Pastels - Worlds Of Possibility 12"

 


Hi.

You may have noticed that I haven't posted in nearly a year. No excuse, really, but my resolution this year is to go for one a month. Which I've already missed. But should manage better than one a year like 2021...

This is a great record. The single itself is awesome, and it has a special weird bit on the end which I don't even know what it is; it looks like a separate track on the vinyl, but it's not listed. Anyway, all good. Good b-sides too, track 3 is a cover of a song which I'm sure those of you with a better musical education will immediately recognise.

Hope you enjoy them, and see you again soon.

1. Worlds Of Possibility
2. Photogram
3. Love It's Getting Better
4. Ever Far

It's getting better here.

Sorry, the picture is a CD case nicked off the internet, but it is off a proper 12".
