Does anyone remember these British singers?

They are model L-7 which are going used for about $95.00 + $30.00 shipping on eBay.  So, I'm happy with my purchase so far.  The removable front screens are in very good shape and show no signs of wear.  Whoever had these took care of them.  I also bought a Kenwood KX-W 4040 Dual Cassette deck for $10.00.  I really haven't checked it out yet by couldn't pass on it.  It seems to function properly.  I've had experience with electrical/electronic repair.

Excellent, bro. Well done!

Has anyone mentioned Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Genesis?  The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Invisible Touch, etc.  Great vocals and great bands.  Great songwriting by Mike Rutherford too.  Squonk was one of my favorite post-Gabriel Genesis songs.  But, I love all the songs on Invisible Touch.  The videos were good too.  And Then There Were Three is an underrated album, in my opinion.

I love early Genesis and the music of Peter Gabriel. I've got a number of Genesis LPs up to Wind and Wuthering. Gabriel had left the band for a solo career, and lead vocals were taken over by the group's percussionist, Phil Collins. He had the voice down pretty well filling in the absence of Gabriel. I had lost my basic interest in Genesis following W&W due to their commerical tendencies. They started leaving the more progressive album oriented rock genre.

It was a great LP, but Wind and Wuthering was better. Go West Young Man, was my favorite track on And Then There Were Three. I bought a copy for some friends and also had this on an 8-track cartridge. Also Wind and Wuthering on 8-track and later vinyl. The quality was less than good. Only a couple of plays and it had that Rice Crispies "snap-crackle-and-pop" annoyance. Vinyl in in 1976 was lousy. Or that particular pressing was bad.

Wow, this thread is pretty long!  Has anyone mentioned Kraftwerk yet?

Never mind ... just noticed this is about British singers, not European musicians.  Anyway, go Germany!

Kraftwerk was a great band. Yes, made in Germany.

My favorite was Jethro Tull. The song leader, Ian Anderson, played eleven different musical instruments. He was positively brilliant and no one ever matched his flute-playing skills. I was at a concert he once did. Everyone was high, passing joints around. The place was packed. But then he said something truly awe-inspiring. He said, "I wished everyone had dressed in suits and ties, who came not to get high, but to listen the words of the songs." And boy what words. "It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now!" Have you ever heard it phrased that way? Normally one might say, "It was an old day yesterday, but it's a new day now." His words were what made him so spectacular. He was completely out of the box---a style of genius no one ever duplicated---either in musical talent or lyrics.

Here he plays a Flute Duet - Astronaut Cady Coleman and Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull---Ian Anderson composed the song.

Invisible Touch might be the last Genesis LP bought, concentrating on Christian music more and other priorities.

Besides Autobahn, I don't remember any of their music.  I did have a couple of LPs by Triumvirat a band from Cologne, Germany similar to ELP.

I looked and did a search too... it's gone? 

Do you mean my topic on Musicals is gone???   I'll take a look now.   A few weeks ago, my topic on Funny Commercials was put into the Trash....I mentioned that to George and he reinstated it.   I had no idea who would put my topic into the Trash!
