Vinyl Album, 1982
Beggars Banquet
The lushness of the album cover
with Billy and Alan looking towards the camera pretty much expresses
the sound of the album. Elegance with a twisted angle. “Party
Fears Two” has to be one of the great pop records from the '80s.
Mysterious, yet enticing with the images expressed in the song. Even
the title is so beautifully expressed. “It's Better This Way” is
a driving track that one wonders why this is not considered a pop
classic. In fact why is this album not as big as “The Other Side
Of The Moon?' Seductively recorded it is like laying between velvet
walls with shag carpeting. Essential, and a very warm album. The
tension is that it can explode any moment....
