    Simple Bruce

    To be honest I was never a born “Bruce” fan! But I appreciate his work and a lot of his older stuff. With certain artists you have to examine the total collection so really try to stay away from “Greatest Hits “ and have tried to consume the total collection of artists works. So no I didn’t buy this vinyl back when came out 30 years ago but I got it now as vinyl has made a comeback and it’s marketed for premium profit. But looking past that yes this a great opportunity to look at back as a musician creating and crafting a signature generational sound.

    iconic album

    I purchased this album about a week ago and it plays great. So many great songs on here. "Adam Raised a Cain" - just a classic. I purchased this through curbside pick up and it was fast and easy. Great buy, great service.

    Darkness

    Just seeing this LP brought me back to high school. Bruce’s fourth offering sometimes gets lost between “Born to Run”, and “The River”, but there’s so many tasty treats on it. I gave it to my friend for his birthday his wife just got him a turntable and speakers the week before he loved it and for those people that don’t know what there is a treasure trove of vinyl at Best Buy.

Shed Seven - Let It Ride   - VINYL LP

Shed Seven's third album, Let It Ride, is a vibrant and energetic collection of alternative rock anthems - Packed with catchy melodies and memorable hooks, it captures the band's confident and upbeat sound - This 180g vinyl re-issue, the first time the album has been made available on LP since it's initial , replicates the original 1998 Polydor pressing. Originally issued on Polydor Records in June 1998, Let It Ride built on the enormous popularity of 1996's A Maximun High, propelling the York-based indie four piece back into the UK Top 10. Let It Ride is the view from the summit of Shed Seven's first years of fame released nearly two years after A Maximum High, the album was trailed first by InchChasing RainbowsInch in November 1996, a Top 20 UK hit and arguably their most celebrated anthem. It was the first of the album's four singles the Britpop/Baggy joy of InchShe Left Me On FridayInch (No 11 in March 1998) followed; the arms-in-the-air power balladry of InchThe HeroesInch (No 18), concluding with that August's reflective InchDevil In Your ShoesInch. Produced by Stephen Street, Chris Sheldon and Dave Leaper, Let It Ride was partially recorded in the legendary Olympic Studios in Barnes. It finds the group stretching out, using drum machines and string sections, with songs like the country-influenced InchA HoleInch and the almost-metal of opener InchReturnInch. InchThere's songs on this album that have the ability to become classic songs, like The Beatles, like The Stones,Inch guitarist Paul Banks said at the time a bold claim, but then, listen to InchChasing RainbowsInch, and the melancholy closer InchGoodbyeInch to understand where he was coming from
