@Salacious-Crumb I'll see your Pleasuredome and raise you a Rage Hard. "Let me take you on a tour of the 12 inch"

One of the few times I prefer a cover to the original.
Just like The Beatles version of Twist and Shout smashes the original by The Top Notes, I reckon the Hindu Love Gods cover of Raspberry Beret smashes the original by Prince.

Pleasuredome was just a mash-up of Relax and Two Tribes, wasn't it? It's an ear worm that's for certain.

My inbox tells me Frampton Comes Alive! was released 41 years ago today. Not the best record from the 1970s, but possibly one of the few that defines the decade as good as any. A total monster smash in America all the more perplexing because it was a double-LP a live album and by a British rock veteran that nobody had ever heard of. 8x-platinum in the U.S. And still the biggest-selling live album of all-time. Naturally, it's not on youtube, but here's a live vid from same era of "Lines On My Face" a very nice song featured on the record.

Hard to believe Frampton was seriously mentioned as a replacement for Mick Taylor in the Stones
1977 - Frampton - Disco - Boney Fucking M ugh Mull of Kintyre - Jeezuz
Meanwhile we had debut albums from Pistols Clash Stranglers Television Jam Elvis Costello. Plus Exodus was released the album that catapulted Marley to international stardom
Didn't realise it then but in amongst all the dross the times they were a changing

Prime Rocks did a Shihad special a month or so back and finally got around to watching it last night.
I forgot how good they were.
From starting in speed metal and the awesome devolve EP (still have at home on both vinyl and cassette) then Churn and the big European Tour they did. Had some good stuff on HLAH in there as well, never knew they got so fucked up on heroin but it all makes sense now. Showed some of Shihads BDO's back here (always the loudest) and then the US experience and the sad day where they had to change their name of Pacifier.....
Anyway, not my fav Shihad track but will remember this gig at Aotea Square. They smashed it

It was a repeat wasn't it?
There has been a lot of repeat screenings of Prime Rocks recently.
Shihad are a great live band.

It does seems crazy but he did earn some integrity playing for years with Humble Pie (as Bovidae above notes) and The Herd, and when he was a teenager crazily enough he was in a band managed by noneother than Bill Wyman. Wyman might have gotten Keef and Charlie's ear and told them Frampton was a suckup who'd be happy to do as he was told and wouldn't be a problem, and better yet was prettier than Mick which certainly would have appealed to Keef's dark side wanting to stick his elbow into his Glimmer Twin's ribs. So maybe not so hard to believe. For that reason alone Mick would have vetoed.

@Salacious-Crumb @ Bovidae
It isa his time as the face of 10968 in teeny-bopper band The Herd that I thought (at the time) made any suggestion of Frampton joining the Stones ludicrous.
Technically a good guitarist but it would have been like asking Adele to front Black Sabbath
