Out of obscurity. Amazing tracks that time forgot.

Stuart's guitar is heartbreaking on this lost gem.

From their masterpiece The Absolute Game.

    "Meeting Across the River" - Bruce Springsteen
    The B side of Born to Run - such a dark song, but beautiful, haunting piano and trumpet accompaniment.

    Barbarian - The Darkness

    Everyone knows them for 'I believe in a thing called love.....'
    First heard Barbarian on a Darren Redick (Planet Rock) Rock Block early in the year. Just excellent.

    I have a feeling there are one or two words missing that might have added clarity...

    Not really. I know them mostly for a gawd awful Christmas song.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Funny that this thread exists as this has happened to me today.

    Currently taping all the vinyl on the pc and come across this album in the collection by a band called Stray, album is called Saturday Morning Pictures.

    Apparently they were a late 60's early 70's rock band who I have to admit I had never heard of. I am by no means a rock fan (always been a soul man) but boy these guys can play.

    No idea how we have this album, presuming somebody left it at the house at some point but well worth a listen.

    You should have just done it the old fashioned way and recorded direct to tape.
