"Well, I for one haven’t forgotten the Pixies and never will and am surprisingly digging this album which is easily their best suit of originals since ‘Trompe le Monde’ waaaaay back in 1991.

"An impressive sophomore record merging cool club beats with airy pop structures and samples from the telly to paint (similarly to "foxbase alpha") an impressionistic portrait of London. Bright and bubbly with hints of longing, a variety of moods come together really well."  Reply

"I have the 1990 re-release on Yazoo Records (Cat# 1065) of this album. It features the same songs but with a different running order. The running order on the Yazoo Album: 1) Ain't No Tellin' 2) Stack O' Lee Blues 3) Candy Man Blues 4) Spike Driver Blues 5) Avalon Blues 6) Louis Collins 7) Franki..."  [+]  Reply

"This album will probably go down as 2017's most overlooked album. This album is superb. This album digs so much deeper than what you would originally think, given the subject matter. It's funny, original and will be nostalgic for some. Will definitely be in my top three albums of the year. LISTEN..."  [+]  Reply

"To Jackbrown. Yes, I'm aware those songs are respectively on, A hard day's night, and, Help!, but what I was referring to on that point was, Past masters, as a coherent listening experience. Yes, it mops up the songs not on any 'official' albums, but that's all it does, sonically it's all over th..."  [+]  Reply

The Autumn Stone 
Compilation
"When Steve Marriott in late 1968 decided to leave the Small Faces and the group subsequently disbanded, they had already begun recordings for the successor to their legendary masterpiece "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake".

"I’m a huge fan of this duo and here they tone back the Psychocandy blast of 2007’s ‘Lust Lust Lust’ for a more familiar mellow pop feel, personally I prefer the ear splitting reverb of the former but none the less this is another excellent album from Denmarks best"  Reply
