There's quite a lot of the White Album still up on youtube as we speak.A lot of self indulgent faffing about,it would make a quite good single LP without all that.
I Will.

A nice little tune reminiscent of their earlier stuff.

Yeah, just bits and bobs isn't it? Loads of audio tracks just short on proper videos, although of course there were no live performances by this time.

I've got another load ready to roll but just time now for a couple before bedtime. The rest in the morning.No.217: “Green” by R.E.M. (1988)
On the cusp of becoming megastars, R.E.M. gave us what turned out to be one fo their finest albums, Green. A cross between their indie roots and professional rock music, Green was a glorious album.

Going for it again then...No.215: “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young (1992)
One of Young’s most successful albums, if not the most successful for over 20 years. Harvest Moon spawned a classic hit title song and was a nod to his famous Harvest album released in 1972.

No.214: “Blue Guitars” by Chris Rea (2005)Blue Guitars is a box set featuring a collection of entirely new albums spanning a history of the blues from its African roots through Memphis, Chicago, pop and rock genres. It was a labour of love for Chris Rea who wrote every one of these 132 tracks and annotated each individual sleeve with his own specialised artwork. A mammoth undertaking and a superb collection of songs.

No.212: “Sticky Fingers” by The Rolling Stones (1971)Been ages since we saw this band in here...
Classic Stones, their first album on their own Rolling Stones record label and the first release without late guitarist Brian Jones. The original cover, worth a mint now, featured an actual real zip on the front.

No.211: “Local Hero” (soundtrack) by Mark Knopfler (1983)Mark Knopfler’s first film compositions, something he has continued with over the years. This was based very much around Scottish pipes, the ceilidh and traditional instruments, annotated by his own guitar work. Entirely instrumental save for a vocal by Gerry Rafferty on one song. The film is wonderful.
