No.992: "Mirror Moves" by The Psychedelic Furs (1984)



The Psychedelic Furs were one of the fringe fashion bands of the early 1980's who didn't really make it big, despite some great songs. This is the first album which features in my list. Second single from this album, 'Heartbeat':

Great to see a fellow connoisseur of the arty stuff, Nom. I have that other album as well, though it didn't quite make this list.
Ten years ago I came across a big series of DVDs at a car boot sale (before they were banned) which contained around two dozen rare and long lost albums on each DVD. The 1960's series was called "Trippin' Through The 60's" and the 70's series under the title "Electric Soup". I must have bought about 80 of these discs which opened my eyes to a massive array of unheard music. Quite a few became favourites and this Pete Brown album is just the first of them in this list.

Another quick note to mention that I haven't included compilation albums in my list. That is, no various artists collections or "best of's" by regular acts. This would just be like including a load of singles and great albums can't be judged by hits.

However, I have included live releases and also a number of film soundtracks - the first of which will make its appearance next.

I remember this song. Davy's on the road again.
I liked the Manfred Mann band, but earlier when Paul Jones was in it. That dates me somewhat.

Paul Jones in the original band was a leading force in the early British rhythm & blues scene. Manfred Mann made some classics, didn't they Tiffany?

The band ventured unsuccessfully into progressive rock for a short while with two albums under the name 'Chapter III', but found their feet again with some 70's pop-rock similar to Wings or 10CC with Davy's On The Road Again and earlier hits such as Joybringer and Bruce Springsteen's 'Blinded By The Light'. Yep, good band.

No.990: "The Blues Brothers" (original soundtrack, 1980)



Just one entry today and it's the first soundtrack album in my list and it's a corker of a record. A classic movie, the album isn't just a 'various artists greatest hits' collection - as I wouldn't have included it - as most of the songs are performed by The Blues Brothers, namely Dan Ackroyd and the late John Belushi, with other soul stars such as Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.
Here's an old Rolling Stones number, probably the most popular Blues Brothers song:

There was a Blues Brothers group here, a tribute act & they were very good.
Saw them a few times at gigs.

Ha! Yes it's like the Elvis acts isn't it?
A pair of shades and in the Blues Brothers case, a couple of black hats. Oh, and if they can sing and dance too, they've got their act together!
