Not sure what I was buying back in 82 but along with Gone Troppo and S&G in Central Park these were the only new releases and I think Hot Space was the only one I bought that year.
Queen - Hot Space
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Talking Heads - The Name of this Band is Talking Heads
The Damned - Strawberries
Back on topic I'm listening to Natalie Merchant Live in Concert NYC 1999

The only thing I remember buying in 1982 was Robert Wyatts, Nothing Can Stop Us album despite having all the singles

In fact the first bit of music my eldest daughter ever heard was the single Caimanera from Wyatts LP, the day she came home from the maternity ward May 1980 . Sadly it didn't instill any musical sense in her .

Following my trip to see him live, Ralph McTell s Hill of Beans. (Leola CD, 2019).
I know now why I haven't played it much. There are enough good songs on there, but I don't care for the way it's been recorded. Sounds like there's some compression gone on there, or something else.

Decent. A friend of mine was telling me they'd bought a new cheap as chips 6CD box set - Choices....it sounds a bit of a rubbish idea - 6 members choose their faves, but it's still a lot of Heep for not much dough. I saw them once in the mid-80s with some temporary lead singer...and they weren't very good but then I saw them in the early Shaw years and they were vastly improved. The brief period with John Wetton has to be a high point for me though... |

I saw Uriah Heep at the New Theatre Oxford (very early 80s), at a time when pretty much every band booked there was part of the so called "New Wave of British Heavy Metal"...They were excellent if I recall, & the bass player was the late great Trevor Bolder of The Spiders from Mars...  |

I think I saw the same tour. If it was the one with Spider and Samson I thought the bands got progressively worse as the evening went on. It wasn’t their finest era. OOAA.  |

Going to see them on Tuesday at St David’s Hall, Cardiff. Last saw them in Bristol in 2015 and before that 1976 with the (IMHO) classic lineup. Michael “Mick” Box is the only original member so Michael “Mike” Box is hoping for a mention…  |

I have recently been handed a copy of Door One, David Longdon's posthumous solo album. It is released on 14th October. It is a beautiful album.

I'm just getting into them really. I've enjoyed the Pete Goalby AOR era, since Equator was originally released but recently I've picked up a few Bernie Shaw albums, and just last weekend, snagged my first "classic" line-up album - Wonderworld - which, on early acquaintance, is a very good listen. Looking forward to checking out more of their catalogue. |

I saw Heep way back in 1972 at Liverpool Stadium and again in 1973 - the 'classic' line up and they were great.

I'm very pleased to have a signed copy of Abominog with Trevor's signature (although Bob Daisley played on the record.) |
Well I never did..

I think my brother had a copy of Abominog. I seem to remember enjoying it back then, but can't remember much about it now.
As for what I was buying in 1982, I can't remember exactly, but albums from that year I still listen to now include:
Asia - s/t
ATF - Batteries Not Included
Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky
BJH - Berlin
Chris de Burgh - The Getaway
Clannad - Fuaim
Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
JJ Cale - Grasshopper
Jerusalem - Warrior
Jethro Tull - Broadsword & the Beast
Magnum - Chase The Dragon
Mike Oldfield - Five Miles Out
R< - Shoot Out The Lights
Roxy Music - Avalon
Rush - Signals
Saga - In Transit
Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed
Twelfth Night - Fact & Fiction
And I bought a copy of that BJH biography recently, but it is still on my shelf of 'books to read'. Soon...

Robyn Hitchcock - Shufflemania, which seems to only be available online at present. His best for a while I reckon and good to see Kimberely Rew and Morris Windsor both putting in appearances.
The Bevis Frond - The Clocks. A very welcome limited edition reissue of Nick's 2007 self-released album, having missed out on it first time around.

Although a somewhat different tracklisting I believe? |
