We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2023 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS AND NO REQUESTS FOR FLAC OR OTHER LOSSLESS, IF YOU WANT FLAC, BUY THE ALBUM)! Here you can say what you like, unless it's offensive, racist or discriminatory! Please keep your language polite and respectful.
All other official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy.
Enjoy! RYP and Gyro1966 and Gaius R.I.P.

Hi TZ’ers!
Last Sunday we got to see Alice Cooper in concert @ the Youngstown (Ohio) Foundation Amphitheatre in downtown Youngstown.
Thanks to my younger brother who bought the 2nd row seats we were treated to an awesome show by a real living Rock & Roll legend.
For 2.5 hours the 77 year old Alice & his red-hot band delivered the goods from the beginning to the end & never watered down the intensity.
The show’s theatrics, of course, added to the experience but, Alice’s great sense of humor kept it all f-u-n.
For those interested here’s a few ebooks to wet your Alice Cooper whistle;

Thank You
Big ups to Captain Deli for the Zombie-Zombie, to Edward Said for the Billy Childish, and to zigzagwanderer for the SAHB. Nicely, chaps!
Please do not require Google check in .....when G asked for a contact number... but they did not specify a phone that can receive texts... so I am locked out of G forever and that includes Floppy Boot Stomp. And no work-around exists.

I second this non-google check in - I have problems with it. But whatever will be will be...

Try here Rick https://matlo44funkytown.eklablog.com/search/Boobie%20Knight/
Y-town...my ex -hometown. I believe the site you went to was the former site where my dad worked (steel mill).
I was thinking about seeing Alice in November with his ORIG. bandmates (minus Glen. RIP) here in Phoenix. I've never seen him in concert BUT...did get to meet hime last Dec. when he was shopping for books for his grand-kids! Super nice guy... It was a goal to meet him -took me 30years! since moving out west. Was in the fan club back in the '70s...
Gotta go..get me some tickets!!!

Various Artists: The Linval Thompson Trojan Dancehall Albums Collection, 2CD
https://www.discogs.com/release/14722795-Various-Linval-Thompson-The-Trojan-Dancehall-Albums-Collection
At the close of the 1970s, a new, strident style of reggae developed that by the close of the year had supplanted the roots sound, continuing to dominate Jamaica’s musical landscape through to the mid-Eighties: dancehall.
Few producers embraced the genre with more skill than Linval Thompson, who between 1982 and 1983 delivered four superb dancehall collections to Trojan Records, with each showcasing a major talent of the era. All but one of this quartet of LPs appear on CD for the first time in the UK, with Tristan Palma’s “Settle Down Girl” making its full digital debut.
The 2CD set is further bolstered by four Linval Thompson-produced bonus tracks, ensuring a musical feast for fans of the original dancehall sound.
[...] The Trojan Dancehall Albums Collection ably demonstrates the ease with which Linval Thompson passed from the roots and dub into dancehall. The Viceroys’ album is one that should be in the collections of everyone that loves catchy, exquisitely crafted reggae music with a message and makes the set worth it on its own. Barrington Levy shines on Poor Man Style, showing the style which would set him up for a long career that continues today and Tristan Palma’s Settle Down Girl isn’t that far behind. Added to this the dub set by Scientist and Prince Jammy is inventive and a lot of fun too. The bonus tracks round things off nicely for a release that starts Doctor Bird’s year with a real bang. It works both as a time capsule and a rattling good collection even in 2020 – if you’ve a liking for reggae in any of its forms, you would do well to give this one a listen. -Ian Canty

@The Chairman my pleasure TC, though I'll pass your thanks for the Linval to SuperSound. And yes, yesterday or the day before I posted a Linval too, so Thompson fans are well spoiled these days, and rightfully so.
