Alvin Stardust - The Untouchable (1973)

As we're planning to do a Pete Shelley album, I thought it'd be informative to also do a Peter Shelley album, by way of comparison. As well as having given the world the mega-smash Love Me, Love My Dog, Peter Shelley was the man behind Alvin Stardust and produced and wrote most of the first Alvin Stardust album, as well as having been the original incarnation of that character.

Excitingly, that LP doesn't have a Wikipedia page, therefore, we're going to have to go in blind on this one. Excited

I suspect this album'll appeal to those who liked that Marc Bolan album we did. Excited

But it'll probably be better than that, as it'll probably have proper words. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri May 01, 2020 5:21 pm

And better chords. Excited

And be less Art School. Excited

And more geared towards people who work on building sites. Excited

Why do they looks so old?! The bass player looks like a semi-young Jon Pertwee.

Jamie McCrimmon played drums for the Move and ELO? The 3rd Doctor played bass for Shane Fenton? What other Doctor Who characters were in bands? scared

Can it possibly live up to the oeuvre of Vince Taylor? scared

My Mum always found Stardust sinister.

It was all that leather glove stuff I think.

Glitter was OK though. yes

Clearly a rewritten version of Spirit in the Sky.

by Nightjar Fri May 01, 2020 8:30 pm

It's like the '60s never happened.
