It’s been a while since The Postman Delivered some CD’s tbh. I’ve been rather restrained in my late night online spending sprees. I’ve managed to resist the daily ebay emails for what seems like half the back catalogue in the entire history of popular music.
But then two searches hit the spot with prices that I couldn’t ignore: Stephen Stills' debut, and Genesis' Selling England by the Pound. They’re hardly cutting edge new music to carry me into 2026. Don’t worry. I still dip my toe into some DIRTY D ‘n’ B each week.
Both albums came via the 1,001 Albums list. I’ve already ticked off the entire list, apparently. But each day, a new offering is sent m way. If we’re looking to point the finger at anyone for my CD addiction, then the 1,001 Albums list is a decent starting point.
The Stephen Still debut was a lot more soulful than I was expecting. It all hangs together with a lovely Hammond organ lilt. I’ve always had a soft spot for Genesis - the earlier, the better. Selling England drifts in places, but I love the Wardrobe song.
Less than a tenner all in - not bad. I do need to seriously address the CD storage situation sometime this year.
