I was listening to a track from this week's album randomly on my my phone a couple of weeks ago. Something about the song caught my attention and, since I didn't have the CD near me, I looked it up on Wikipedia hoping that it could tell me what I wanted to know about the song. I was shocked--SHOCKED I tell you!--to discover that this album that I have loved now for over 30 years (and owned for almost 25) was missing a song! It turns out that one song, "Everybody Laughed But You," was left off of the US and Canadian releases. Seriously? What the hell, people? I thought the record labels stopped doing this shit in the 1970s. Now you're telling me it was continuing into the frigging '90s?!?
So--you
guessed it--the completist geek in me ordered another copy of the CD
from someone in Hull, England, who happened to have it on hand. It
arrived yesterday and while I haven't had a chance to play it yet, I'm
still quite excited by it. So I thought I'd share that album this week.
From 1993, please enjoy Gordon Sumner, a.k.a. Sting, with my favourite of his solo albums--in its entirety--Ten Summoner's Tales.
Until
next week, stay safe, be good to your neighbours, and please remember
that if at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for
you.
Yours in peace, love, and rock and roll!
The Reverend Will the Thrill
