There may be some delay

I've had Steve Hillage's Live Herald on my shopping list of albums to buy since 1989. Just been over to Amazon to preview some samples. Sounds good. But I still didn't buy it. It can wait.
Has anyone been meaning to buy an album for more than 21 years?

No.
But I wish I had waited 21 years to buy the new Weller album. It's shite.
I really like it
Compared to some previous solo albums it is a real step up in class and a return to former glories.
You need to play it a few times to appreciate it.
Are there any other of his albums you would recommend?
All I have is Rainbow Dome Musik which reminds me a lot of Ashra's New Age of Earth, (but not as good). I could just go on a binge and get Mr Hillage "out of the way" in one fell swoop.
I was commenting on the Weller album
I wouldn't know any Steve Hillage tracks if I listened to them now.
Really can't see how anyone with a passing interest
in Weller could dislike "Wake Up The Nation"
After sitting through the dirge of Heliocentric and Illumination, it's akin to having a new pair of ears.
Maybe wrong time, wrong place.
I may not have been in the mood for it, but I was really disappointed. I will leave it for a while and try again.
Live Herald
Go on... treat yourself, you know you want to.
The CD isn't quite as good as the double vinyl though - the studio tracks from side 4 have been moved onto the reissue of the contemporaneous studio album ('Open' I think)
You shouldn't of mentioned that stimpy
Cos I've really got to get Open now haven't I? Could lead to a furthur decade of prevarication.
Fish
Rising but that might be the curry talking.
well...to be honest
I've been meaning to buy Sgt Pepper since I was 10 in 1967. Still haven't got around to it.
I recommend Live Herald though. Excellent live album. There I was thinking I was a punk and saw Steve Hillage at Deeply Vale in 1978. I was hooked. Still am. I got the vinyl around 1979 or 1980 from a 2nd hand record shop near where my then girlfriend lived in Clifton in Bristol. Its one of the few records I still actually play.
Which makes me think...has anyone else gone from Punk to Prog?
McDonald & Giles
The eponymous album by the ex KIng Crimson sidemen came out in 1971. I heard a track on Sounds of the Seventies and thought about buying it. But money was short and I had to be selective. It's available on Spotify and having heard it I think I'm happy I didn't splash out on it back then.
Ooo that reminds me of one...
After 35 years, I haven't got round to buying Peter Sinfield's 'Still'
I've always meant to get Arc Of A Diver
But I've simply never got round to it - for the past 27 years.
I'm still in 2 minds about
The HJH's White Album... anyone got any strong views on it?
Hmmm
I can take it or leave it. The HJH leave me cold most of the time. I haven't noticed them being mentioned much on this forum anyway. Have you?
Bloody Hell!
I've only just gone and ordered Live Herald by Steve Hillage. And it's the 2007 remaster with the previously missing track reinstated. Bonus. I'd like to thank everyone on here for helping me to pass the finishing post on what has been a long and difficult journey.
keep the receipt
- just in case.
