  1. 140 Erasure - The Circus (1987)

    -3 J

    140 Erasure - The Circus (1987)

    Erasure are NOW regarded as 'homosexual pop' icons - but back when they started in the eighties no one noticed because EVERYONE was wearing spandex and sequined vests. The duo's second album The Circus is a joyous realization of destiny. Keyboardist/leader Vince Clarke had finally found the perfect front-twink in Andy Bell to sing his songs. For Andy - a dream come true - he was now in a group with THEE Vince Clarke - his hero from Depeche Mode and Yazoo.

    139 Mötley Crüe - Shout at the Devil (1983)

    The paradoxical Mötley Crüe hit the Hair Hunk heavens with Shout at the Devil in 1983 as Frank Ferrana gets to quit his day job and continue one of rock and roll's greatest swindles full-time.

    14 AVR.

    138 Claudio Simonetti/Massimo Morante/Fabio Pignatelli - Tenebrae (1982 Soundtrack)

    Italian prog rock band Goblin found their destiny during the second half of the 1970's when they became the go-to musical score composers for the hot-shot horror movie directors of Italy. Goblin split at their peak but reunited (most of them) for 1982's Tenebrae - directed by their old friend Dario Argento.

  4. 137 New Riders of the Purple Sage - The Adventures of Panama Red (1973)

    8 AVR.

    137 New Riders of the Purple Sage - The Adventures of Panama Red (1973)

    Following the surprise success of their eponymous debut in 1971 the informal New Riders of the Purple Sage needed a couple FULL-time members to keep the party going - including a new pedal steel guitar player - a boutique role not easy to fill. Marmaduke had to go back in time to a quirky train tour across Canada he took part in a year earlier to find their man. Once the classic permanent NRPS lineup was set they continued to uncork records for Columbia including 1973's The Adventures of Panama Red - a deep-track dandy that sounds like the smell of bong water.

    30 MARS

    136 Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam - Spanish Fly (1987)

    Creatively juiced by the wet-mulleted beefcakes of production team Full Force, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam continued to pump the coffers of the Freestyle genre they helped create with 1987's Spanish Fly - a solid urban dance album in a genre generally defined by singles.

    24 MARS

    135 Augustus Pablo & King Tubby - King Tubbys Meets the Rockers Uptown (1976)

    The atmospheric, echo-laden martian world of Dub is the most 'reggae-sounding' varietal of all the reggaes - and it was created by a workaday radio wireman from Kingston. King Tubbys Meets the Rockers Uptown represents Dub at it's finest - quietly released during the global boom of reggae in 1976.

  7. 134 Francis Bebey - Trésor Magnétique (2025 comp)

    18 MARS

    134 Francis Bebey - Trésor Magnétique (2025 comp)

    In 1974 forty-five year old Cameroonian Renaissance Man Francis Bebey retired from a career as a journalist and musical director of UNESCO to focus more time on his family and the arts. He turned a spare room of his Parisian flat into a studio, bought a synthesizer, drum machine and four-track recorder - and began an early-retirement musical quest that would last thirty years. Trésor Magnétique is twenty tracks beautifully extracted from the wagonload of unused analog material Francis Bebey left behind in that glorified walk-in closet.

  8. 133 Robert Palmer - Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley (1974)

    11 MARS

    133 Robert Palmer - Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley (1974)

    Ten years before transforming into a suited-DILF headed for MTV rapture - Robert Palmer along with the coolest cast of session musicians ever - cranked out a spirited blue-eyed funk winner called Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley. An amazing piece of work and yet another gift of the collaborative spirit (aka Satan).
