What I’ve Been Playing This Week: New & Classic Albums

[@martinkyle1463]

I really love Davey Pattison with Ronnie Montrose and Gamma. I recently came across a track called Fussing and Fighting by Sunday, an early Davey Pattison band, on a 'British heavy psych and hard rock' compilation titled I'm a Freak Baby Disc 2, and I keep playing the track. It dates from 1971 and I always like finding a great old song which passed me by at the time.

[@Fritha71]

Always great to see 'Time' by ELO be praised, it's my favorite album by the band. Also love 'In Trance' by the mighty Scorps!

[@DavidLeeson-ki1tf]

Hi Phil, Great show as always, i have been listening on CD too -: Western Electric Company - The Incredible Shrinking Man Waterboys - Modern Blues Bowie - Diamond Dogs Roxy Music - Siren Humble Pie - Street Rats ( not there best) Portishead - Roseland NYC Live The Blessing - Prince of The Deep Water ( Fantastic Album) Gabriel Olafs - Absent Minded Had a George Hatcher Band session on vinyl with Dry Run and Talkin Turkey ( Never understand why they never really made it to the big time)

[@ianlewis8086]

Phil, check out the Terry Wilson Slesser vocals on the Beckett song called Little Girl. It was released as a single in 1973. Great stuff.

Love the Uriah Heep live album...recorded in Birmingham, Alabama...correct? 😁 Always mention this - 1973: Earth, Wind, and Fire opened for Heep here in Virginia. I didn't go, friends into Heep that did go told me EWF were excellent.

[@joerocks7381]

Its that time of year where i go through all my 2024 rock and metal albums to list my top albums of the year. Thats what i've been doimg the last 2 weeks. I know Jerry Cantrell, Black Dahlia Murder, Saxon and Deep Purple are among my top albums.

[@sunsecrets100]

Hi Phil, the ELO box set is a great collection and agree Steel Wheels good album, spinning this week, Elliot Smith - Figure 8, Fairport Convention - Wood and Wire, King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King, Dave Gilmour - Luck and Strange, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Wild God and Max Richter - In A Landscape.

[@jmacallar]

I love ELO ,Time…a great listen…lately Mott The Hoople , Mental Train, Alice Cooper, Lace and Whiskey, Wishbone Ash, Argus , The Kinks, Muswell Hillbilies, Shakin Stevens, The Collection…..lots of great tunes to listen to!

[@martinkyle1463]

Funny you should mention Shakin' Stevens, as I was listening to his first album recently. He sold a lot of records and is often thought of as a pop star, but his early material is very authentic rock 'n' roll.

[@KS-yy2fu]

Took some time to get some ok-ish vg+ copies but my previous listings have been (thx fo putting cobham on the bill) 1. Spectrum 2. Crosswinds 3. Total eclipse. Other than that I prettzy much spun the new Goat album and Spirits Spirit of 76 which I was lucky to get a early UK pressing. Great album. Cheers from Germany Klaus

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Fabulous albums

[@shaunfulton7261]

I remember Tantrum and knew your keyboard player Mark. Me and Zeeb from Witchfinder General went to London with you when you played The Embassy Club.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Hi Shaun, wow 🤩 amazing. Great to hear from you. I’m in Cornwall now. Are you still in the midlands? Phil :)

[@shaunfulton7261]

@@NowSpinningMagazine That's almost 40 years ago now! I remember your cover of She's No Angel. I'm back in the Midlands after 20 years in London. I enjoy your show. 👍

[@seanwills4946]

Some great stuff there as usual Phil. I have been listening to a lot of American rock bands from the 80's that i have discovered recently such as 707, Dakota, Le Roux, I- Ten and Streets which featured Billy Greer and Steve Walsh of Kansas fame. There is no better thing to do than staying in and listening to some great music with Storm Bert raging outside.

[@domielakrabi3276]

Nice you gave "Steel Wheels" a listen after a long time. It is a very underrated album! I immediately got into it when it came out. Billy Cobham's "A Funky ..." was my introduction to his catalog - a great record. Later I discovered "Spectrum" his debut with Tommy Bolin playing unbelievable stuff. My recent listening list: Queensryche "Digital Noise Alliance", Peter Gabriel IV, Fleetwood Mac "Rumours", Talking Heads "More Songs ...", Neil Young "Sleeps with Angels" ...

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Thank you for sharing - Phil

[@twatson4887]

I have a few of those albums - Koss and others from that era - I need to go to the storage unit to get things out LOL. Been playing some Yes, Budgie and a Lone Star Album Firing on All Six. Really enjoy all of your output. Thank you

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Budgie & Lone Star, what great bands ! Thank you for sharing - Phil :)

[@MartinJessop-bi4yt]

Hi Phil, I have been listening to the Steve Hackett live archive 70's80's90's 4CD set which is really good although I find his 90's stuff a bit too experimental. I have the release with the bonus CD too which is the best of the lot in my opinion.

[@charlesquinn8746]

I've been listening over the weekend to the new Joan Armatrading cd got it on Friday day of release Joan is my favourite female artist I have been a fan for 44 years (doesn't time fly) since the tour to promote the album ME MYSELF I in 1980 I've been to every Dublin concert this week also Shirley Bassey new purchase HELLO LIKE BEFORE from 2014 with the R P O (7 euro 99) and ALISON MOYET new cd Key a remix of 18 tracks covering her career( superb} and RAG 'N' BONE MAN new release WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN and also NICK CAVE WILD GOD went to see him on the 13th 2 and a half hours of great music

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

Great video Phil.

[@rolandconnor575]

I think this is my favorite segment of yours Phil, so relaxing to ponder what you are listening to across the pond there. My favorite ELO track is One Summer Dream and they have a magnificent live version on youtube from Zoom tour 2001. Also Blondie Live in NY 1999 and Isle of Wright 2010... Jan Akkerman and watching alot of drumming coaches on youtube break down Bill Ward's magic on many Sabbath tracks. That's me this week. quick question, Have you tried to contact Blackmore's management "Carole Stevens" (Candice Knight's Mom) in NY for an interview? That would be your one dream come true I know. Cheers from near Vancouver, BC, stay safe and dry, Pat

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Hi Roland, thank you 🙏 I did try and approach Ritchie a while back before I had really interviewed many people. I will try again next week. Phil :)

[@dfugmann1306]

Such a pleasant discussion of your current listening adventures. I love how you go back and time and think of all of the music you were listening to during a particular year (1975 = Sabotage, Come Taste The Band, etc.)....a great way to level set where your ears were at during that time in your life. ELO's Time! You sparked me to put this on the turntable and revisit this fantastic album. Such an underrated gem...I also enjoy Secret Messages which I think came after Time. It Seems like a lot of the great 70's bands were struggling to connect with their fan base during the early 80's, despite putting out great music during that time (Cheap Trick One on One, Kiss Creatures, Yes Drama, Alice Cooper Special Forces, Aerosmith Rock and a Hard Place). I really hope you are able to set up that interview with Warren Haynes. Having seen him since his early Allman Brothers days, his first solo album (Tales of Ordinary Madness), and then through the early years with the Mule, I have been a major fan. He's a bright, intelligent, down to earth, and thoughtful cat - I bet you two would hit it off tremendously. Personally I have been digging very much the Iommi Fused rerelease, Black Country Communion V, as well as Glen Hughes Resonate album.

[@FromThe4thWall]

I still play the Keys album "The Grand Seduction" a lot. My favorite album of 2024! I love this project so much. I hope that after two great album there will be more of this. This is true progressive rock!

[@trevorpugh6475]

Interesting mixed bag of choices as always Phil 👉👍 I connect with Dog Of Two Head, been a fan of Quo since first hearing Pictures Of Matchstick Men as a 15 year old in ‘68. I’ve been listening to more of my newly discovered favourite, The Cranberries but mainly to the George Harrison 50th(ish!) anniversary 2cd set of Living In The Material World. I can’t tell you how delighted I am at how GREAT the new remix/remaster sounds, a wonderful “re-birth” of a favourite George album of mine. Cheers Phil, more reviews please!

[@Soedel.Deluex]

Excellent video as always ! In the early 80´s lots of Handsome Beasts was going on right ? Excellent NWOBHM band it was. Have the whole collection on CD's. You played lead guitar on the first album. Love it !!! Make a video about your time in that band please !! Would be so interesting too. Thanx. Best regards, cheers. S.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Wow and welcome ! I am going to do some videos on my time in bands - Phil

Spinning for me this week is DIO- Angry Machines, The WHO - Live At The Isle Of Wight, LEATHER STRIP - All Hallows Eve", TRIUMPH OF DEATH - Resurrection Of The Flesh, The DOORS - Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine. 💿 Take care! 🎸

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Many thanks Phil!

[@julianirving9868]

Phil, a great and varied list. I’ve been diving into a couple of box sets I’ve received this week, Marillion with This Strange Engine and UFO’s Obsession. Frost* remains on rotation plus some Japanese fusion and by contrast, Thin Lizzy UK Tour 1975. Kind regards

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Japanese fusion ? That sounds interesting 🤨

[@julianirving9868]

@ Morning. Thanks to a couple of Sea of Tranquility shows I have dipped my toe into this area! As you say part of the enjoyment is finding new ‘old’ music. Kind regards

[@dhala54]

The Leslie West Band LP from 1975. Really an excellent album and great band, which consisted of Leslie West, Corky Laing, Mick Jones and Kenny Aaronson.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Love that Leslie West album

[@kenmorgan5999]

Great stuff again, agree about "Time" ELO, love the track "The way life's meant to be" is my favourite track. Steel Wheels is underrated I love that too. saw them on the tour in Cardiff in 1990. This week I been mostly listening to... BTO Four Wheel Drive, Jethro Tull The Broadsword & The Beast and Heavy Horses, Tears For Fears Songs For A Nervous Planet, Marillion The Strange Engine Boxset, Kate Bush The Whole Story, Kansas Two For The Show.

[@nazaholicable]

I also love Four Wheel Drive by BTO, and still listen to the vinyl copy I bought in 1975; the packaging of which was lavish.

[@AndyFootman-w9z]

I am playing Klaatu I wish a deluxe set was released covering all their albums early singles etc!Also the Last Dinner Party which is a great album!Also The Move album Shazam which is my favourite album of all time!

That Captain Beyond album is one of the all time greats

[@jegarajramoo3873]

This week I am indulging in my "Secret Vice" in music! More of a retro throwback to my childhood! I spent most of the week listening to bubblegum pop from children's tv shows of the 1970s. Music from the Wombles, Animal Quackers, The Banana Splits hour, The Bugaloos, Sesame Street and the like. Sometimes fun music like these records really helps you to be in a happy mood. Next week, I will be back listening to prog or speed metal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@amarjitsinghdulay1890]

I like it. It's the sort of thing that I've done in he past. Where the music that I grew up listening to during my childhood and early teen years from TV programmes is part of my DNA. There is a warmth in regressing to that moment in time when things seemed a bit more innocent, fun and less complicated. And like you I jump back into my chosen path of my musical tastes of most rock, metal and prog from the late 60s to the present as a must as it is that what has shaped my life, musically that is.

[@uruguayo6395]

Thanks for Sharing Phil🎵🎹🎸⏺💿☮

[@jonjackson5372]

ELO- Time, excellent choice, Phil! I, too regard it as a newer release of theirs and it is one of my favorites. Love that new Devin Townshend album, too. Recently got the Yes-singles LPs and am enjoying those as well as some classic Trevor Rabin, Queen- The Works, Plasmatics- Metal Priestess and the new reissue of Ratt- Out of the Cellar w/ bonus 7”.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

I’m still pondering the Ratt reissue! I am enjoying Time like it is a new release - :)

[@jonjackson5372]

@ I’m not sure if it’s remastered, but it sounds great and on red and black splatter vinyl it’s aesthetically magnificent. I discovered ELO Time late (maybe 1995, so it’s like a new release for me also. 👍🏻

[@rikgay857]

Steel wheels along with rolled gold was my introduction to the stones. Still a fantastic album ti to this day..love the wyman/watts rhythm section on Terrifying.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

I will try and get the new Opeth this week

[@dylanbshelton]

Hi Phil. All great choices you've been playing recently. I also have that same copy of "In Trance" by the Scorpions as well. One of my favorites by them. Recently I've played, Robin Trower - "Bridge Of Sighs" UFO - "Phenomenon" Rory Gallagher S/T Debut Kenny Burrell - "Midnight Blue' Stone Temple Pilots - "Core" Buckethead - 'Electric Tears" The Kenny Burrell album was a first time listen for me. I very much enjoyed what I heard. I've been slowly getting into Jazz and that album was recommended to me. I'll be playing it again soon. "Electric Tears" by Buckethead is one of my favorite albums and it's incredibly beautiful and emotional. That album has helped me get through a lot of tough times in my life. I highly recommend it to you Phil. Been enjoying the videos and looking forward to all that's to come. Keep it up! - Dylan

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Hi Dylan, thank you for sharing and for suggesting the Buckethead album. The jazz genre kind of creeps up on you, Midnight Blue is fab.

[@libermetallicus]

Great mix of genres and artists Phil. I tell my music students constantly, “The greatest songs of all time were written by people under 25!” Robert Plant was 23 when Stairway To Heaven was recorded! I’ll just leave that there. We don’t just need listen to old classic music. There is still tons of great new music being released by young and hungry bands and artists, we just need to go and look for it.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Fantastic comment and so true. I am determined to feature more new music in 2025

[@Trifixion22]

You are so absolutely right about new bands! I cant keep up with all the material coming out from new bands I love. The metal underground in particular is very healthy. And there's great rock bands like Purling Hiss, New Candys, Ghost Hounds, The Bites, loads of others I'm forgetting.

Eloy - Destination (1992) - newly re-released and remastered CD version on MiG records - the greatest band in the known universe. Huw Lloyd Langton - Anthology (2020) - 7 CD box set of what can only be described as really good "proto-Hawkwind". RIP Huw. Stone The Crows - Stone The Crows (1970) / Ode To John Law (1970) / Teenage Licks (1971) / Ontinuous Performance (1972) - the very wonderful Maggie Bell on vocals. Victory - Circle Of Life (2024) - it has Herman Frank (ex-Accept) on it, bloody awesome. XTC - Black Sea (1980) - gradually picking up the most recent remasters of all of their albums, have been a fan of these guys almost as long as I have been a fan of Sparks! John Carpenter - Escape From New York Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1981) - another artist whose back catalogue I am going back through.

I'm one of those Sabbath fans that feel that when Dio entered the band - it kicked Tony in the ass & he completely changed the way he played. I love the Dio, Gillian, Hughes & Martin Sabbath way more than the Ozzy years I know that's blasphemous to allot of Sabbath fans, but being a guitarist myself - I think those eras are way better musically for Tony Iommi then the earlier Sabbath with Ozzy

I missed your earlier video. Do you agree with pitch correction of Freddie on Queen 'I' because it's a deal breaker for me. Shame, because I love that album and some of the other remixes are great. But The Night Comes Down remix is a travesty.

So I watched it, and I take your point that the original mixes still exist and we can still listen to them and so on ... I'm still disappointed by the pitch correction of vocals though. Other aspects of the remix I can live with... well, more than that, they're fascinating because we can hear things we've never heard before ... my brother got me the 2CD set and we sat with my nephews and listened all the way through and talked about it.
