KEATS - 'Keats'
An Alan Parsons Project spin-off featuring Colin Blunstone (Zombies), Peter Bardens (Camel), Ian Bairnson (Pilot), David Paton (Pilot, Bay City Rollers!!) and Stuart Elliott (Cockney Rebel).
Very proggy!

ASIA - 'Astra'
The last album from the "supergroup" line-up until 2008's 'Phoenix' album.
The story leading up to this album was that John Wetton had been ousted over "musical differences" to be replaced by Greg Lake for the tour and the subsequent 'Live in Mockba' release, but for this album Wetton was invited back. He agreed on one condition - Steve Howe had to go!
Howe duly stepped aside, Mandy Meyer (Krokus) stepped in and this album came to fruition.
Not their best and probably just as well that the group 'proper' died at this point.

LEO SAYER - 'Silverbird'
Hardly rock royalty, I know, but this is an excellent album.
Two stand-out, haunting tracks are 'The Dancer' and 'Why is Everybody Going Home?'.
Sayer was the first real act that I ever saw, way back in January 1974 and I've always had an affection for this album (which he was touring at the time).
Gig review (or what I can remember of it!) is HERE.

I first came across it on CD several years ago but, since selling off my CDs, I had never come across a vinyl copy anywhere - until last week.

The same applied to the Dave Greenslade solo LP that I bought a few weeks ago.
I didn't even realise that it had been released on vinyl!

Used to have this on CD.
Discovered it quite by accident.
Great album!
