My ipod on shuffle came out with this eclectic sequence: -
Toxicity - System of a Down Dr. Robert - The Beatles For Your Love - The Yardbirds Loving Cup - The Rolling Stones I Never Lied to You - Syd Barrett The Treasure - Stephen Stills/Manassas Pandora's Box - Procol Harum
Composed by Japan's Richard Barbieri, this was the B side to the single Gentlemen Take Polaroids (October 1980). Not present on the original (vinyl) Gentlemen Take Polaroids LP, it appeared as a bonus track on a later CD version.
so many brilliant songs. haven't got all his albums as of yet but I do have 6. every one of those records is superb. one of the best and sometimes overlooked Artists of his generation.
"I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel. I was listening to the air conditioner hum. It went.... hmmmmmmm"
I caught a documentary about UB40 last night, I'd forgotten how good some of their early stuff was. Food for Thought, Don't Slow Down, Don't let it pass you by, King...… Some wonderfull tracks, and I'll be on amazon for the greatest hits at the end of the month. Sadly the second half of their greatest hits album I remember as being very average. Many Rivers to Cross is rubbish. What amazed me was the state they are in now. Basically there are two UB40's, who hate each other with real passion. Their money evaporated, and sadly, they are face to face in courtroom battles and hatred. The documentary is calle d Promises and Lies and it's probably on YouTube if anyone is interested.
