This is far too long.

I Like the way you can guess the next line.

Yes they did.

Still 2 minutes to go.

by Butterfield Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:33 pm

Sounds like the credits would be going up at this point.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:33 pm

Big 1950s finish.

Yes they did.

The Empire Strikes Back was released the same year as this.

Over.

It is over.

It was completely devoid of redeeming qualities.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Oh, I thought this was 1978 or something.

Yes, I know the year is at the top of every post, but no, you!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:35 pm

I shall give it 1 star.

by Butterfield Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:35 pm

Well, a boring start and middle of that track made way for quite an epic end.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:35 pm

Better than The Last Jedi anyway.

And - and I'm just guessing here - it had been in production for longer than it took to dream up, record and release this abomination.

Is it too late to do Brenda Lee?

by Nightjar Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:36 pm

Or anything?

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:37 pm

Utter sh*t, but it's getting 2 stars cuz it's Christmas innit?

by Butterfield Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:40 pm

Well, strip way some of the naff and inane talk, this would have been a very pleasant and nostalgic Christmas instrumental album. The production was very good in parts, but some of the "humour" just made it a bit of a chore at times. I'm no big fan of Star Wars but the characters, their voices - and sounds - are legendary, and it was nice enough to listen to. I'd consider buying it on CD for about 25p.

3/5

I've just noticed that Ralph McQuarrie did the painting on the album cover. gasp
