Review: Vinyl Lovers present John Cale's, 'Fear (reissue)'. He emerged into pre-new wave weirdness with Fear, an aggressively wild record made with assistance from the likes of Eno and Roxy Musician Phil Manzanera. Clean production only heightens the anxiety inherent in Cale's voice and created by the skittering, modified guitar sounds. A brilliant record full of neat surprises and great, unsettling songs.
Review: Vinyl Lovers presents the reissue of 1982’s 'Pornography', still considered by many to be The Cure's best.
This album was the band's darkest album to date, cementing their role as beacons of the emergent gothic
rock genre, with the band sporting their signature red lipstick and big hair look for the first time during this tour.
Review: What's Going On is one of those albums that everyone should own. Rightly regarded as one of the single greatest soul albums of all time, the 1971 set saw Marvin Gaye eschew his pop-soul past in favour of socially and politically conscious lyrics and an imaginative, expansive musical palette that was far removed from the usual, stomp-along Motown sound. It still sounds fresh all these years later, with the Vietnam War inspired 'What's Going On/What's Happening Brother', environmentalist anthem 'Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)', anti-racist 'Right On' and simply sublime 'Inner City Blues' standing out. This reissued edition arrives on translucent green vinyl, making it even more alluring - not that you should need much convincing to grab a copy.
Review: Vinyl Lovers presents 'A Hard Road' from John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers. More than a compilation, this album is a complete document of the Bluesbreakers' recordings with Peter Green, of which 'A Hard Road' was just the most prominent part. Bonus tracks include several non-LP singles, among them the 1967 B-side "Rubber Duck," which has never before appeared on LP.
Review: Vinyl Lovers brings you NICO’s, 'The End'. Originally released in 1974 and produced by John Cale, this found NICO caught in a dark no-mans land inhabited by ghosts of her past, the late Jim Morrison on 'You Forgot to Answer' and her cover of the Doors 'The End'
