What are you listening to.................RIGHT NOW!!!

Had to get the bus to work this morning....for some reason "Number of the Beast" came to mind...so listened to it on the way in :-)

 

Reminds me of the summer of 1980...along with Bowie's Ashes to Ashes and the Jam's Start. I bought a tent from Camperlands in Northenden with some money I got for my 13th birthday and went camping in Edale for a week with a few mates from Wythenshawe. We ran out of money on the 2nd day and spent the rest of the week robbing food from other tents. You can take the lad out of Wyhtenshawe, but...
 
Great pick that. Saw them quite a few times in that era and they always blew me away. McCabe is a mighty guitarist. Remember a gig in small room at the Uni on Oxford Road when Ashcroft thought he could fly. Unfortunately the ceiling was that low he almost banged his head every time he jumped up. A Northern Soul is a great record imo but they do get some shit nowadays

Yeah, I think the Verve should have lived their career back to front. By that I mean, to me, if you listen to Urban Hymns followed by A Northern Soul and the A Storm In Heaven (remastered version) - the original sounds like it was recorded in a bucket! - it sounds like a band growing in confidence from a commercially focused band to confident psychedelic rock outfit. I guess the drugs do work ;-)
