Lockdown Listen: Spirit: [We were] Ripe & Ready!

[kath]

Worth quoting Hunter S Thompson, of whom I have reading a lot lately:

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

There's also a negative side."

mwhahahahahaa. there was a time when i read quite a lot of him. i should revisit.

suddenly i remember when he said mayor daley looked like a potato with mange.

mwhahaha, must have potatoes on the brain

I do love their pretty side

Same here

there is always a nice mix of pretty and more abrasive heaviness - a winning formula to my old ears

And this was 1968!!

In a blind test I think I'd have placed this much later - '73 at least.

I love albums where it isn't obvious that 'Paul gets one, one of John's, suppose we have to have another of George's, and what have we got for Ringo this time?'.

For example.
