Meh. I've heard better Pink Floyd covers from Various Artist albums. The "A Fair Forgery" album being the best I heard.

This Animals Revisited is 50/50. Half good, half not that great (better than bad, so there's that). Sheep starts out so poorly (IMO) that the thought crossed my mind that I was spinning in 33RPM when it should have been 45RPM. But about halfway through it got better and finished pretty good.

Any good? There’s an interesting similar thing for ELP

Don't have Seeds on vinyl, only on CD.

While i'm at it. Animals Re-imagined.

Unofficial release.

Brother Cane, Seeds kicked big butt.

Some vinyl lovers don't like coloured vinyl. They believe the audio is impaired (for the lack of a better term). But my eyes say, Meh. Because i doubt my ears can tell the difference.

My first listen of this album and i'm loving it too. They did a good job. I might get that on CD.

Loving this...Listening now. Thanks.

Picked this one up at my favourite second-hand shop this morning. There's a guy there who stocks a good selection of used and new vinyl.

I'm with you. Would love to have it on CD. It's an unofficial release and as far as I know it's only available on vinyl. All the songs are live, which surprises me that it was never put together for an official release.

oooh, that is a cd I need.

Edit: I did a quick youtube browse and all I can find are live versions. Is this album all live?

It was odd that he was termed "new wave" back then, but I guess it was because he wasn't "hard rock", he wasn't like Springsteen or Cougar/Mellencamp, and he wasn't like those quasi-prog rock acts like Kansas, Foreigner, Boston, etc. that were prevalent in the late '70s, so I guess it was the closest genre label they could attach to him. But he got a lot of airplay, at least where I lived (usually on the WNEW-FM station mentioned in the article).  I heard "American Girl" and/or "Breakdown" on the radio pretty much every day, and those tunes were just from his first album; subsequent albums got even more airplay.

ha ha good one👍

And as for SRV, not surprised. I have a friend who is a huge SRV fan that booed him at a show, when SRV was struggling with drugs in his early years.

I’ll agree with you on the sincere part, for sure. Honestly, not that big a fan of the blues. Walked out on Stevie Ray Vaughn before he was big….
