ONCE UPON A TIME.....Standing On The Edge

Слика
  FRANKIE MILLER  Standing On The Edge  (Capitol,1982) - Rock       Frankie Miller’s eighth solo album “Standing On The Edge” was his first away from the Chrysalis label and was also at that point his rockiest and most polished effort. The bar room backing or stripped back blues and soul of the earlier albums being replaced with a polished, sleek and far more rocky production. Musically and arrangement wise this was more akin to Bad Company, Foreigner or even Whitesnake than the old blues and soul feel of its predecessors. Thats to take nothing away from those albums by the way as each and every one of them was a classic in its own right.

ONCE UPON A TIME.....Seriously Speaking

  CLANCY  Seriously Speaking  (WB,1975) - Jazz-Funk rock       Formed in London, England in 1975,  Clancy quickly became a popular live attraction, blending skilled musicianship with the relaxed, goodtime atmosphere of contemporaries Kokomo and ‘pub rock’ favourites Bees Make Honey. They secured a major record contract with Warner Brothers Records, but sadly their two albums for the company failed to recreate the atmosphere of live performances.   TRACKLIST: Back On Love                      Lose Me                      Body To Body                      Steal Away                      Sign Of The Times                      Southern Boogie           ...

ONCE UPON A TIME.....No More, No Less

Слика
  BLUE ASH  No More, No Less  (Mercury,1973) - Rock, Power pop       Peers of Big Star and the Raspberries, Ohio's Blue Ash rejected the then-prevalent prog rock, heavy metal and singer-songwriter navel-gazing in favour of succinct mid-60s influenced, harmony-drenched three-minute nuggets. No More, No Less is a classic of what would later be termed powerpop.
