I am right back in the film studies cinema, watching Inaugeration of the Pleasure Dome now...
Underated guitarist in REO
loved playing the Sweet b sides on the Juke box at the local full of old miners
such a killer riff !, supposedly made up by Bowie.. jury's out on that one !
seen by many as a poor album compared to the brill tunes on 1st album, but I liked it and brought it... still have it !

Well my cousin took two of us to Soho, when it was Soho, cousin wanted to go, I wasn't sure... paid and two price increases down two alleys later we went to this bizzarre club where girls could pose but not move, this came over the pa strange memory, but so fitting !.

Yo !
I think I'm going to make this an Annual Event- first show of every year will be a look at Albums that Turned 50 the previous year!
What a wonderful selection there. At art college, I was into all sorts, and back then we had film studies. I did my college thesis on Aleister Crowley, and asked if the lecturer could get Inaugeration of the Pleasure dome, and perhaps Fireworks by Kenneth Anger, Un chien andalu. He got all of them and some more ! It was the Inaugeration silent film that had this ethereal wonderful music and took a couple of years pre-internet to discover it was Eldorado. sorry babbled on a tad there !
