Nice. How is it? I only know her backing vox work, i.e. "Gimme Shelter" (still gives me serious shivers) and Big Country's "King of Emotion".

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Just picked this up at an actual record store. The Rolling Stones, 'On Air' [live at the BBC 1963-65] (2017).
The sound is all over the place, very raw. And it's a beast. Further documentation as to why they were a far better R&B band then any of their contemporaries (Beatles, Kinks, Who, Small Faces, Animals, etc.). And the never recorded cover of Bo Diddley's proto-rap "Cops and Robbers" is hilarious. Jagger was 20, middle class, English, had never been to the US, and he nails the patois of urban black American dudes. How'd he do that???

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I bought a cheap box set earlier in the year with the Chess sessions and various other early live gigs. I really like it. Yes they were a great R&B outfit I'm not sure if I agree they were better than their contemporaries. The early Who/High Numbers and my personal fave The Pretty Things were awesome R&B groups. Plus The Kinks BBC sessions are fantastic.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑08 Dec 2017, 10:21pmJust picked this up at an actual record store. The Rolling Stones, 'On Air' [live at the BBC 1963-65] (2017).

That's kinda good. Short as it was, that's my favourite period of Wire.
