The first Commodores I heard, in about 1977. Great album

Online sources, quoting family reporting this sad news. Dead at 45. Not too sure how much he means to too many here but I saw him rip it up with Glasper a few years ago. He also played in later Stefon Harris groups and lots of others along the way.

Great, thank you

Is this new, any good? I haven't seen anything new from him for a while. I need to investigate

The two with Bill Campbell as vocalist, definitely. Leave me pining for the heights of mid table League One definitely

I'm impressed by your mother-in-law's album collection

Yeah, I don't have a dvd player or I'd have bought it. Shame it wasn't a box set like the others but you can't have it all.

Ooh, fighting talk😄 Which ones, and is there a SE non-league division too?

Thanks, I bought one of the Zim nights as a download as I think it was the one I saw at Cafe Oto, which also means I probably heard Matlock that night. It was a great night's music that's for sure

I've just received my CD set, first two discs going down very well. And I agree about Matlock who is a new name to me who'll I'll be seeking more of

It's very good, I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Thank you

I stopped listening to them very early, at 'Curtains', and I'm not sure why now at this distance. So my favourite remains the first one. My interest is piqued again so I think I'll stream some of the later ones. Obviously you rate 'Simple Pleasure' highly as you post it often so I'll start there. Which other later one would you suggest I try?

I loved their first couple of albums then cooled on them. They're playing in London this year, I'm tempted That really is special. Can still remember hearing it for the first time, heaven

That was exactly my thoughts too Onto this now

I have the Smith but not the Mitchell which every time I remember that seems pretty silly of me, I really should complete the pair. Playing this now Asher Gamedze - Turbulence And Pulse [International Anthem, 2022]

That's two pretty good listens

That's very good news. Bet they're great live

Fabulous film

I bought a copy of that yesterday, same Insta post as inspiration perhaps

I think that's a fabulous release, admittedly after only one listen. The drumming on 'Africa' is almost worth the entry cost alone Rough Trade and Dixieland, not a pairing I'd ever imagined. Good use of fire drill time though, well done!

Oh yes! What a fabulous album

All downhill since the Enlightenment really. Good job we had the Renaissance...

That's a good album

Me too, I found the Trios a bit underwhelming and the other BNs have been listenable but this definitely has an edge to it This band really seems to have something, Blade sounds good with Lloyd
