Classic Albums

Harry Steilus looks at the legendary guitar slinger Chris Spedding and his late work Pearls. Spedding can be heard on countless great albums from the likes of Brian Ferry, John Cale and The Wombles!  

Harry Steilus looks at 'Sleepwalker' one of The Kinks' late period gems. Moving away from the concept format back to finely written pop ballads, Ray, Dave & the boys made what is arguably their best album since 1971's Muswell Hillbillies.

Harry Steilus opens the Todd Rundgren vault and dusts off the Adventures in Utopia album. Todd the endlessly fascinating rock wizard is back again with the re-formed Utopia.

This month Harry Steilus settles back in the comfy chair and takes a look at that perennial favourite Nick Lowe and his album 'The Old Magic'. Well into his solo career, the 'Jesus of Cool' has certainly mellowed but lost none of his razor sharp wit and great song craft.

Harry Steilus takes a look at Marianne Faithfull's 1979 milestone album 'Broken English' which, coming at a low-point in her personal life, was a powerful work and a turning point in Faithfull's career.
