More stuff meant to avoid actually writing anything

IYNSHO, what is the greatest concept album? And what is the concept?

I will have to say that The Kinks wonderful snapshot of British life, Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) is my favorite, although this could change with my mood in a moment.

Erk, I've just read what I've written, but I'm going to post it anyway...

At a guess, Chris Spedding.
An acquaintance of mine (through Steve K at TPA) Davy O'List (The Nice, all The first Roxy Music demos etc.) did the "Let's Stick Together" session with him. Davy was at one time rated top ten, but has had a few...um....problems in the intervening years.
Spedding also did the first Pistols demos. And is pretty much the session guitarist for most sorts of Rock 'n' Roll this side of the pond.

I'm sodding well semi-retired, never having had that degree of success: and the calls coming less and less. I haven't practised properly for eighteen months. This is getting to be a flippin' disaster.

We have a winner !!!

Yes indeed ... Mr Spedding has done just a few things over the years. Roy Harper's story about the solo on The Game is hysterical. All his other big name friends tried and failed. Spedding walked in, listened to it once, then knocked it in the first take.
