Thinking about shows, today...and the music that gets played. If I hear another Nils Lofgren 'audiophile' pressing or 'Aja' demo, I might slash my wrists on the spot. So, I want to put together a list of records that sound great - involving, inspiring, natural - but that won't be getting a £50 a pop 'MoFi' release.
I've had this LP since it's release and still play it regularly. It sums up The Undertones for me - bouncy, propulsive, cheeky, vivid. Sounds fantastic - driving bass and drums, lyrical guitar licks, Sharkey's yearning voice. Crystal clear and loads of impact.
What's your 'anti-audiophile' gem?
