A new release, some tracks from the now very hard to get hold of In Dub collection from a few years ago, some new stuff.
This doesn't even show up on discogs—is it a boot?

New release from the bands website. Has a few new tracks but a lot from the "In Dub" collection I shared with you way back when.

I was surprisingly meh on that set. Too much diluted the effect, I think.

This is amazing and haven't heard it in years, had it on 5 times during the drive home. Forgot how good that chorus is, fantastic. Shits all over that dreary cover the radio loves to play.



Love, love, love this song (and album)!
Bumping this post as I had this on earlier and am still amazed by its brilliance, a perfect pop banger.

It's certainly better than the "other" version. My favourite by her is "With Every Heartbeat", banging track.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I always knew the Coral were good but been hammering their singles collection and it's really really great.

I've got all their albums and looking forward to the new one. Fine band.
I preordered the new one and it came in a couple weeks ago. It's great, of course I always appreciate a double album. I didn't realize there were other fans here.
I'm loving their last single "Lover Undiscovered", I really need to investigate their albums.
My favorites are Invisible Invasion, Roots & Echoes, and Distance Inbetween, but it's mostly great (Magic and Medicine definitely fell into the "difficult second album" doldrums). If you like the Bunnymen, the Butterfly House album is basically a love letter to Ocean Rain. And the first one as you probably know is very influenced by sea chanteys.
Up there with the greats

New York Dolls s/t on vinyl is such an upgrade on the wet CD version I was brought up with. All the guts.

Great album. I've got a Japanese cd which sounds great. That said I prefer all the sessions and demo versions of those songs. Still lovely to have it on vinyl mate. I sold mine back in the 90s when nappies and baby formula were more important.

I'm about to start riding, so I'll have an audiobook going, but some workers across the street are cranking the first Van Halen album. They ain't talkin' 'bout love, they're wheelbarrowing dirt, man!

That's not a bad thing!
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

My three year old likes this one as well. She even sings along to the hook.

There is a corniness in DLR that amuses me in ways that it doesn't with KISS. Probably cos I can sense that Roth knows he's a ham whereas Stanley and Simmons take themselves seriously.
