Really good review mate. Party music - (4am when everyone is unconscious or sat cross leg having very deep discussions). Thats how I will always think of Leonard.

Party music?
If it’s 4a.m. and you want people to go home, perhaps.
We had The Best of LC which was before this album.
I think it’s telling that not one song on this album though, is on The Essential LC which came out after it.

I’ll do the customary 3 listens but I fear this is going to be under duress. Really not liking the Phil Spector treatment.

Songs from LC. 1967. Has really good stuff on it……. If you are in the mood….
I don’t know what mood I’ll need to be in to take to this though.
OB1 gave a point for the Spector production. I’m the opposite so far. I really don’t like the treatment it got.

I haven't listened to it yet mate. Not a good week in the Sads household, based on some of his stuff it might tip me over the edge ;-)

Totally agree on the production point. LC's voice is far from the worst thing about this album.
 
Given it one listen and like it very much so far. Couple of ropey tracks but maybe they'll grow on me over the week.
 
Never been a fan of his unless his songs were done by other artists.
I'm your fan was a great cd years ago of covers by REM,Nick Cave and Ian McCulloch,others as well.
This LP does nothing to change my opinion of him.
Production,songs and I have never been keen on his voice.
For playing this at a party you must have wanted everybody to leave.
2/10 for the second week in a row.
 
Being a fan of LC I bought this album when it came out. I think you either love him or hate him. (his album ..Songs Of Love & Hate).
I'm a lover of poetry and LC and Jim Morrison for me were primarily poets who could also write a catchy melody. To me they are both true poets.
LC was very popular during the late 60's and early 70's. He was very good in certain situations, back to someone's flat late at night, put on some LC. We discussed his lyrics and the depth they seemed to portray, even sometimes comedic.

The walls of this hotel are paper-thin
Last night I heard you making love to him
The struggle mouth to mouth and limb to limb
The grunt of unity when he came in
I stood there with my ear against the wall
I was not seized by jealousy at all

These days that could be a review on trip advisor :)
I love this as I do all his albums. It brings back a time in my life when things were very simple, you and your mates, work. All the time aching for that special girl, the one who would be a soul mate and lover but would surely end the simplicity and freedom of the family home.

Marriage, kids, mortgage awaits.

9/10
