Dropping Crescendo was a bad choice - it's deadly
That's the second pressing after the re-release and success of Sit Down. Lose Control and Sit Down replace Crescendo and Hang On.

Bit harsh on Blue Bell Knoll. I'd give it a 7 - it was my introduction to them
It's got Carolyn's Fingers and a cool title track. I'm afraid the rest doesn't do much for me.

A lot of their best stuff came out on EPs it has to be said.It's got Carolyn's Fingers and a cool title track. I'm afraid the rest doesn't do much for me.
any reason in particular you think Let It Be gets an 8? i think it's a rare examples of a perfect album. Not a wasted second on it. I love Tim but I think Let It Be is their masterpiece.
Although it has my favourite 'Mats track - Answering Machine - I always find myself skipping Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out and Gary's Got a Boner. I always play Tim right through.
Also Tim was the first album of theirs I got, for 99p on cassette in a HMV sale back in 1993.
Was just thinking of doing theirs! Pretty much agree.
On Our Big Fat Merry-Go-Round - 7 (disappointing after a brace of great early singles and b-sides).
I Want Too Much - 8.5
I Am The Greatest - 9
Wide-Eyed and Ignorant - 8
No More Apologies - 7.5
One of those bands whose early songs - Kick Me Again Jesus, Pretty Something, Heart Happy, Michael etc, would have made a very decent album. Perhaps they should be left alone. But that's another thread. Great non album tracks.
Need to get the last couple of albums first.
