What was the final determination on how to handle live album dates? It seems to me that if the recording date and the release date are close together, it doesn't matter. But if they are decades apart, are we going with the recording date?

I include both on my picks, but think the release date makes more sense.

we just had a good example of that with the Elvis album.

recorded in '69 but released many years later

ask NV, but it seems like the intent of tracking the dates is to see what period of music is getting the most love.  Tieing that Elvis album to the '00s (or whenever) would skew results

This is the way I look at it. 

For instance, the live Pogues album that features Joe Strummer was released 12 years after Joe died and about 25-30 years after most of the music was originally released.

My cousins (and aunt and uncle) moved to Gainesville, Florida when they were youngsters, because my aunt got a job working at the University of Florida, and then my uncle attended the school (cause he got kicked out of the University of Tennessee).  My cousins are a bit older than me and my siblings. During a visit, my cousin Wendy turned us on to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' debut album. I thought they were great. Fast forward three years and this album came out. I loved it. It reminds me a lot of my high school years.

So killer.  They popularized a sound with this, still quite popular, that underlying organ

Stuff keeps coming up today that reminds me of the Mark Lanegan book.  

I read this last night as well, he talked about how they brought in Benmont Tench to play some organ and stuff on Dust.  Tench went to some other part of the studio, found a couple old Wurlitzers and dragged them into where they were recording.  Set them apart from each other, then did a badass double-wurlitzer solo on this tune (2:06)

No real point but my thought was, has anybody appeared on  more American rock and roll recordings than Benmont ####### Tench?

sorry for any spoilers, I highly doubt Dust gets picked up

Whoops. Sorry about that. Next two artists would cut such classic first LPs to announced fanfare and popular crossover failure that their next two albums would be shelved. 

Round 9.38 - Clipse - Lord Willin' (2002)

Pusha T and Malice's debut on Star Trak records featuring production from The Neptunes. It would be such an underground hit that there woule be major intra-label squabbles leading to a canning of their second album. It sounds wrong, but it's a classic.

I've probably posted about this in the past but it's been a long time and the pandemic is disrupting new content.  The first two Petty albums on Shelter have great songs and a great band but the sound is murky.  I know most albums are recorded with a sheet of glass separating the musicians from the producer and engineer but S/T and You're Gonna Get It sound like the glass is especially thick.

The sound Jimmy Iovine and crew achieved on Damn the Torpedoes is like removing the earmuffs when compared to Denny Cordell's production of the earlier albums.  The vocals and drums are pristine but in a way that accentuates the music.  It was released in 1979 but it has an 80s sound compared to the early 70s sounding mix that Cordell got.

I'm not always a fan of squeaky clean recordings but in the case of TP and the Heartbreakers, the way the songs of Damn the Torpedoes jumped out of the speakers reenergized his career.

The VH1 Classic Albums episode on this is as worth watching as any 

(Rumours, Songs in the Key of Life too)

 
Just heard Neil's "After the Gold Rush" on BBC6.   I don't know whose decision it was to add a french horn solo but it was an inspired call.

The first time I heard DTT, I was at Myrtle Beach with my family, and we were at an amusement park called the Pavilion, and I was standing beside the Swiss Bobs I think waiting for my sister. I couldn't ride it, because that ride made me motion sick. Anyway, Refugee came blaring out of the speakers, and I was like 😲. A new TP and the Heartbreakers song! It sounded so good. They played the whole album at the park that night.

I went back and forth on either taking his debut album or DTT - I love both (and a bunch of his others).

Was Pharrell in this band?

Clipse is two rappers (Pusha T and some other guy). Pharrell was in the Neptunes who did the production for that album which means Pharrell is surely their singing on several of their songs. So, sort of he was.

What ilov80s said, to the letter. Except he was light on the singing, heavy on the introduction of who was producing, as it were. The "some other guy" rapping changed his name from "Malice" to "No Malice" and became born again sometime after Hell Hath No Fury. While Pusha T was always considered the better rapper, the loss of No Malice and Clipse has sort of hurt his commercial viability. Not to mention that he raps an awful lot about cocaine, which will only get you so much truck in crossover circumstances. 

But Lord Willin' -- and especially Grindin' -- sound shot out of a different time altogether than 2002 was bringing us, still sounding modern yet marching-band minimalist (Pharrell's background) compared to the beats at the time.

Talking Heads / Talking Heads 77   (duh, 1977)

May or may not be best remaining Head album, but I saw them tour this LP in Albany in 1978. First time I ever saw/heard them. Truly memorable and revolutionized my musical taste. But I have to say, I think Tina Weymouth may be a bit stuck up. We made eye contact several times during the show, but never got an invitation backstage. I did finally meet DB in Soho in 84, but I doubt he remembers me, everyone was shoveling coke like they were trying to dig out of a nor-easter.

I know what I want this round, so if you guys and gals could keep from taking it I’d appreciate it greatly. 

 
Time for some piano. I met Ben once a long time ago at a party. The bass player in the band, Bobby, is the brother of my friend Martin, who was roommates with my friend Charlie at ECU, who I also knew from high school. Martin was in a band at ECU called The Stegmonds. Charlie was a student and salesman (of illegal substances).

Round 10.03 - Camp Lo - Uptown Saturday Night (1997)

Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede rhyme over Ski's beats and produce another underground classic. Another one lost in the shuffle at the label Profile, which swept up many a band in its day. Promising everything and then holding the bands to a tight contract, Camp Lo was unable to release their second album proper, and amidst street whispers of homosexuality and label backtracking, were never able to follow-up their much beloved underground hit until five years later. Re-imagined as urban cowboys (and simply destroying any rumor of homesexuality thenceforth - hwarf), their second effort failed aesthetically and conceptually, leaving Camp Lo to the dustbin of something that could have been and right onto my desert island.
