The Rolling "Top of the Pops" BBC4 Revival thread prompted me to do a wiki on B.A. Robertson, where I found out about his debut album, credited to Brian Alexander Robertson, "Wringing Applause":

Bizarrely this was released on Ardent Records, and seems to have been at least partly recorded at Ardent Studios, hence the involvement of Terry Manning... yet it was produced by Georg Kajanus, later frontman of Sailor! I want to hear it now!

Bette Midler-Thighs and Whispers

Thread has generally been great lately but "Tromboneliness" is one for the ages. I can only imagine it's a whole album of sad-trombone.

I have an Amy Schumer-esque "I can't decide if she's hot" internal dialogue going every time I see old pics of Bette Midler

If hot means that guy from Twisted Sister, then yes.

yeah let's turn this into a 'hpt or not' thread

was going to mention that the cover of 'Wringing Applause' = the only picture of B.A. Robertson I've ever seen where he looks sort of hot

omg @ Tromboneliness thread winnah DrC otm

Georgie Fame, "All Me Own Work"

BA Robertson's career always seems little incomprehensible but imo it's just that he was a good networker. He seemed to be able to surround himself with super-session men - Herbie Flowers, Davy Graham, the guys from AWB, Billy Livsey, Steve Harley's band and so on. The connection with George Kajanus is that he and Robertson shared the same music publisher, Steve Morris Music. Seems like there is a lot of cross-pollination between a pretty lacklustre roster of artists - Robertson, Kajanus, Stephen Bishop, Yvonne Elliman (who also recorded at Ardent). They recorded each others songs, did a duet or two etc. eg. Robertson did a heinous vocal cover of ABBA's Arrival with Frida on the same album that Stephen Morris wrote a song or two.

It's a little embarrassing that I know even vague details of all this btw.

'Bang Bang' was great.

Important BA Robertson moment:

Aye, gerritupye Brian, cheeky article.

"Tromboneliness" is one for the ages. I can only imagine it's a whole album of sad-trombone.

it's actually quite good... if you like solo trombone improv! think mangelsdorff has a few titles that wouldn't be out of place here.

Spooky Tooth ‎– You Broke My Heart So...I Busted Your Jaw

'one of the few bands who can create heavy rock and roll with subtlety and soul' according to the sleevenotes

appears on spotify as 'You Broke My Heart So I Busted Your Law' for some reason

Jeez Weight are mean

Big Jim Sullivan ‎– Big Jim's Back

Have I already posted that? Or did I almost post it? I've been in this thread too long, I'm losing it.

I did a search before posting and couldn't find it, but it does looks sort of familiar, so maybe? we really need a masterlist of horrible 70s album titles so we can avoid this kind of confusion

have we had this one? Goose Creek Symphony ‎– "Do Your Thing But Don't Touch Mine"

http://cdn.discogs.com/6ksEJQOkf2qJ83TWWwangLkvcpI=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(96)/discogs-images/R-2913728-1307188632.jpeg.jpg

We have definitely had that one (xp) Once you've seen that sleeve it's hard to get it out of your head.

It's sad day indeed when Derek 'St. Del' Bailey ends up in this thread.

haha I started making a master list once but got daunted by thread length, hmmm

Yesterday at work somebody asked me for help when I was swamped and I almost replied "I've got my own album to do" but realized it would have made zero sense.

hahahaha

lol

LET'S MAKE THIS A THING
