Spare me the theatrics :wink: :lol: ... Imperial Bedroom is important for one thing and one thing alone. It is the album from which my moniker comes from. Actually, EH raises a point. Are we talking about the original release or the reissues? Night Time of course wasn't on the original release. Neil...

Riff Raff The Singles 1977-80.

This is Billy Bragg's punk band before he went solo. I prefer him solo but the music captures the era.

Franz Ferdinand were - as usual - excellent. The Forum is a great venue (if a bit dingy!). They only did a 55 minute set followed by a 25 minute encore. On 40 Ft they had the four members of the band, another three people playing drums, someone else playing keyboards and a three piece brass section....

Re: Imperial Bedroom: overrated?

Is it heresy for me to suggest that this album is a tad overpraised? ... God, I'm pompous, spouting my opinions, but I've always felt like a heretic for not totally loving Imperial Bedroom! Of course it's not heresy. You are entitled to your own views about any particular album. Elvis told a story ...

Interesting.

I wonder if Elvis would try and persuade Ray to do Tired Of Waiting For You.

What do you mean by "Are they real"?

If you mean are they genuine promotional posters put up by the venue/issued by the promoter etc then no.

The descriptions give them as being posters made and signed by the artists in a limited edition.
