Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Demos


Oh, Peter Gabrie-era Genesis. Just the thought makes me wish I had been born earlier. It's a shame that he's too much of a sacred cow (no insult intended) to stoop to tour with them on this reunion thing they got going. I have read his reasons and can totally understand, but nonetheless it prevented me from buying a ticket. They would have had at least $200-$300 of my money if he had come for the ride. I really have no use for the Phil Collins hits or to hear him sing Gabriel's songs. Not knocking anyone's music tastes - just showing off my idiotic reasoning for this. Enough of that, these demos are from my favorite Genesis album of all. Such epic proportions and depth of emotion that must have launched them miles ahead of their peers upon it's initial release. Can't pick any one favorite from the whole but hearing the songs in embryonic form and even instrumental takes is a pleasure to my old ears. Hope one or two of you kiddies enjoy it to.

The enclosed pics of the inserts will show the track listings for all of you - my hands are tired from typing all night.

Bono - The Complete Solo Project of Bono - Volume One


I am not the world's biggest U2 fan, but this was a request and I figured if anyone else was looking for some of these - they are more than welcome. For the record, I do think they are/were a great band and Bono does not annoy me like he seems to do to other people. Oh, they tore him up on South Park a few weeks ago, but they will do that to anyone. This is a four-disc set so let me know. Peace.

Prince & The Revolution - 1999 Revisited (2 Discs) April 2, 1983


Aw yes. How many of us remember 1983? Damn, I was in 7th grade and probably 4'6" and 160 pounds of sweaty young man. Oh, the humanity. Akward times, for sure - but DaddyRich was already feeling Prince and the funk he brought to the radio when it so desperately needed it. This was also right about the time I gave up on commercial radio as I finally got a hint of what college radio was doing. So, insted of waiting all day for one of the big stations to play a song I liked, all I would do is tune into the right station at the right time and Bam! all the best music without obnoxious commercials. It was there I discovered disc jockeys who played nothing but hip-hop or funk for hours at a time! Imagine that. And I have never looked back. But I digress, this offering from the Purple Person is that rare treat - a full concert complimented with a rehearsal from the same tour. Long time friends of the Ape will recall my feeling for the music of Prince and will listen accordingly and undeniably be overjoyed. Some of my favorites from this era of the man are included in all ther live glory (the man plays a meeeeean guitar) - 'Controversy', '1999' and 'Dirty Mind' Woohoo! Takes me back to those heady days of bygone times. Hope you all enjoy.
