Re: Record Player

["gordon" <dwilhelmi@ti...co.uk>]

  'Here Comes The Queen ' stood out for me first play.
  Couldn't figure out where I could possibly have heard it before. Not a 
new song, and I may hav been lucky enough to hear it played under the BA 
rep. ,but I doubt it.

  Love the album as a whole peice, and obey the instruction to 'PLAY LOUD'.
  I somehow get it to 11 for Art Star, and wonder about what it must be 
like with hi-fi.
  What is it, anyway ?

  Mmmmmmm

    Tomberry,
    Does this mean you haven't got 'altitude' yet?
    If not and its decent production you're looking forward to then 
prepare to be dissapointed!

    'Raise the roof' is piss poor production, it sounds weak and tepid as 
compared to the live shows.
    Ruins a fine song.

    'Up in a down world' though is a different story, thats well done and 
has a magical middle building up the tension before crashing back into the 
chorus.
    The low fi still works well on the super 'star below' - (does anyone 
know if Gerald just added his words to an already formualted song?) and 
the haunting Hexanal.

    But the production is patchy throughout, the result of it being 
recorded in different places in different times I guess.

    'Swagger remastered' though is a bloody hoot, lordy but that sounds 
good all over again!

    There again you liked 'here comes the queen' so may rave about the 
album!

    Takes all sorts to love the 'planes! And thats why we love 'em! 
Nothing uniform here.

      Just a random thing.  I love Record Player but I can't stand the 
production, the 'lo-fi' thing only worked for me on 'Here Comes the 
Queen'. I hope Altitude is better because Raise the Roof and Beautiful Is, 
I've been waiting ages for and am hoping for something with the production 
qualities of Life Model where Broken and Mended and Smart Drug (and 
Backing Singers) really sound good when you put them up to 11 (sorry, 
spinal tap jibberings).

      I wonder if EMI would fork out to re-record/repackage it (Record 
Player)? That's what I'd like, anyhow. They only have to do Paper 
Plane/Had it All/Hush/I Need.  Just do the ep for me, that's fine. -Then 
reform and sign up Cud, they can do the same there and perhaps with 
Citizen Fish............................

      Enough of my blurting.

      Best

      Tom.
