2. 'Even Serpents Shine' - Only Ones
3. 'Transformer' - Lou Reed
4. 'The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle' - Bruce Springsteen
5. 'Bikini Red' - Screaming Blue Messiahs (Marky- I consider 'Good and Gone' to be an EP, and it wasn't released in the US and I didn't know about it/get it til the late '80s. Plus there's some repeat tracks with 'Gun Shy').

It's a mini album and with the recent reissue it's become a full album. I consider EP' s to have 4 tracks and generally a 7" release occasionally you get 12" EP' s but they are normally an after thought. Good and Gone was marketed as a mini album. But hey it's all good...and not gone.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

Ooooo, two excellent calls,mate. Oddly enough I bought them both at the same time in the mid-'80s, thereby turning me on to both artists. Listened to them back to back, 'Astral Weeks' first. I was having a bit of a breakdown about a girl and was in puddle of tears when the landlord showed up for the rent. He saw my state and said "I guess I should come back later?" Don't ever listen to these two albums together when having a romantic meltdown

Sage advice my friend. From a much later Richard Thompson album, but the song Dry My Tears is still very raw for me more than a decade on.

Oh hell yeah. He's got a million of 'em. Don't know how a guy so seemingly together and jovial and humorous can write such mono-polar depressive stuff. (doesn't hurt that he plays guitar just like, as Chuck put it, "ringin' a bell".)
