Older albums you're loving today.

Exactly! There could have been more hits from this album. I also love the follow-up "Aretha" with the Andy Warhol cover.

 

Yep, another strong follow up! I truly do love Aretha's mid to 80s run. SO many strong singles.

 

Cheating slightly, but listening to my playlist of these two 1990 debut (or debut English language) albums, by the two women, who would go onto dominate the 90s...


Both sound very similar sound wise, and even the album covers are also!

 

Adam Ant - Manners & Physique (1990)



I acquired this CD some time ago from a charity shop and have finally listened to it. Although I always quite liked the single Room At the Top (as well as the usual Adam and the Ants singles) I wasn't expecting much from the rest of the album - but it's great! It contains evident late 80s (Andre Cymone) synth production throughout so I can see why early Adam Ant fans might not have been so keen, but as someone who loves that sort of production to me it's top notch.

 

Can't Set Rules About Love is one of my favourite Ant singles.

 

Having a PROUD and LOUD afternoon with the Best of Toyah!

 

Love a bit of Toyah. Pink probably does too!

 

SO many hairstyles, so little time!

 

I don't think I ever appreciated 'The Vow' until today. Toyah really is a gift that keeps on giving.

 

saw them last week and this has been played a lot since…

 

One of the most underrated and forgotten albums/artists of all time.

 

Just. Gets. Better. With. Age.

 

Really does doesn’t it. Sort of the opposite to Republica who I also favoured back then but now never listen to, whereas Sneaker Pimps get regular outings

 

I have a 6CD deluxe of Becoming X in the pipeline.

 

Right mix today, the obvious first!

Kate - The Whole Story/The Other Sides
Basia - Time and Tide

This afternoon;
That Petrol Emotion - Chemicrazy
Rick Kids - Ghosts of Princes in Towers
Belouis Some - Some People
Heart - Greatest Hits (Portrait Years)

 

Ooh, what's the tracklisting on Portrait's Greatest Hits for Heart?
(I own the individual albums so have very little idea what's on the compilations, and their discography is massive)
Seeing That Petrol Emotion named gives me massive early 90s nostalgia.

 

(The kii is: i've never actually seen Jackie Brown.)

 

As well as the singles I absolutely love 'Fake' from the BNH album. They should have released that as well as a single.

 

Still "Erotica". Finished a 6-disc Deluxe today. Some of the mixes I could happily never hear again, but some are ace!

 

Interesting that you include Justify My Love & Rescue Me as well as I'll Remember. They've always been bookends to the Erotica era for me so

No love for Bye Bye Baby?
