No, that's not the case. I don't listen to the Feelies for lyrics. I'd still say that the above is my favorite of the group's albums. The only problem is that I recalled Time for a Witness as being on the sublime level of Marquee Moon for duelling post-punk guitar pyrotechnics, and my recent listen proved otherwise. Meanwhile, the case of Thin White Rope is a bit harder to call, but I certainly like Sack Full of Silver better than any other TWR album, with the possible exception of Moonhead. >By the way, around the time Thin White Rope >called it quits (having made a fortune in Europe and spent it all trying to >get heard at home, kinda the opposite of our man RH), I heard they had put >out a live album, but have never seen it--anyone got a copy?

I think you mean Johnny Gustafson of the Merseybeats (and the Big Three, possibly?). My understanding was that Roxy Music never had a bass player, they just employed different session staff, of whom Gustafson was one. I could be quite wrong here - I only ever saw Roxy Music once and the bass playing left no impression on me. I agree that Norman Watt-Roy is talented. I unexpectedly saw the Blockheads again last year in Nottingham and they were as good as ever. And of course Tony Levin, who is so big he plucks at the bass like it was a ukulele (not to mention the Chapman stick). However, I have to confess that my all-time favourites are still Jack Bruce and Felix Pappalardi.

Airscape is about Compton beach on West Wight - as any of you who did the bus trip a couple of years ago will know. It's actually the place my family would camp every year... Airscape would have been written around 84 - 86? Strange to think as I was exploring the cliffs and digging in the sand Hitchcock was wandering the beach songwriting... As a beach I'd recommend a visit to anyone, in fact if you've never been to the IOW go as soon as you can - in about 500 years from now it probably won't exist. I think part of my love for Robyn's music is a result of loving Hampshire esp. IOW...

On one side of the coin I would recommend the last two before they took a break, "Country Life" or "Siren". I think they are both well balanced and a bit more to the point than some of the prior albums. On the other side I would say their final one, "Avalon". And what I am saying here is that to me there are two Roxy's that sound very different from each other, one period being from their debut through the "Siren" album, and the other being that which followed. Sort of like you would probably say "Dark Side Of The Moon" and "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" are both great Pink Floyd albums, but they were recorded by different bands.

Susan's nomination of Johnny Gustafson as top bass player prompted me to do some redundant but trivia-heavy research on the man. On August 17th 1961, he appeared as a solo act at St John's Hall, Liverpool, backed by an up and coming group called the Beatles. He joined Cass and the Casanovas (possibly Cassanovas) sometime in the early 60s. Brian Casser of C&tCs suggested that the 'Beatals' (sic) change their name to 'Long John and the Silver Beetles'. They never accepted the 'Long John', but they did become the Silver Beetles for a while. Cass and the Casanovas changed their name to the Big Three, and were tipped for stardom by Gerry Marsden, but their most successful single, 'By the Way' only made number 22. Their EP 'Live at the Cavern' is highly collectable; they were "possibly the most highly respected group of all among Liverpool musicians". Gustafson left the Big Three in September 1963 to form the Seniors. They had little success and he joined the Merseybeats early in 1964. I assume he appears on their singles 'Don't turn around' (number 13, April '64) and 'Wishin' and hopin'' (number 13, July '64), but he wouldn't have played on their biggest hit, 'I think of you', which was recorded before he joined. The Merseybeats split up at the beginning of 1966, and Gustafson released three solo singles 'Just to be with you' (1965), 'Take me for a little while' (Jan '66) and (as Johnny and John) 'Bumper to bumper' (July '66). He formed Quatermass in 1970 (one album on Harvest) and then Hard Stuff "a heavy but melodic power trio with a good reputation" (2 albums on Purple records, 1972/1973). "He then did session work for Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music and was in The Ian Gillan Band and Pete Robinson went into session work before joining the jazz-rock act Brand X".
