Scorpions level creepiness
That's a long way from any other Kevin Ayers LP cover I've seen.
xpYeah I was going to mention Robert Palmer, but even he's not that ott.

long wondered if Scorpions were inspiration for Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove, esp Animal Magnetism and Love Drive....the original Virgin Killer is a good case for censorship

"Smell the Glove" made me think of the Eric Carmen album, "Tonight You're Mine" - I remembered the cover, had to google the title - the opening song of which is (yikes) "It Hurts Too Much".

Raul de Souza - Don't Ask My Neighbors
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:57 (six years ago)
I love pretty much everything about that cover: his exuberant pose, the album title of course, the fact that he's playing on the rooftop and therefore isn't actually bothering his neighbors, the bluebird standing on his logo...
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 13:04 (six years ago)
Seems like he should be playing a “Souza-phone,” tho(?) 😛

they opened for him on Delirious, he also got them in 48 Hours, must've been good buds

I'd bet the Bus Boys probably have at least 1 good Rick James story.

xpThat's a great one too, but maybe better for the bad puns thread.

🖼(Not That) Robert Johnson: Close Personal Friend
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:41 (six years ago)
Hmm. “I’ll Be Waiting.” Doesn’t sound like either of those songs, only commonality is the word “love” in the lyrics, but it does have some bubblegummy background vocals singing “papa-pom-mow-mow”!
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:51 (six years ago)
“Waiting for a taste of your love” is so Tap, so Brian Johnson I came across the chorus of “ let me put my love into you” earlier today and damn, dude doesn’t pull any punches.

― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 02:58 (six years ago)
Most if not all of that album appears to be on YouTube. Seems to fall between two stools, as is commented upon in Allmusic review- flashy guitar pyrotechnician forced into a New Wave straitjacket and strait-tie- but sounds pretty good.
― Irae Louvin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 December 2019 03:06 (six years ago)
One of the tunes definitely sounds Buddy Holly influenced.

He shreds, on this album at least, in a manner somewhat reminiscent of upthread Kevin Ayers right hand man Ollie Halsall.

Oh man I looooooved "I'll Be Waiting" when it came out, and had completely forgotten about it in the intervening years. It reminds me of "Do Anything You Wanna Do" by Eddie and the Hot Rods. Both songs make me immediately want to do the pogo.
