My grandad, Fred Earle. A thread. #LestWeForget
Frederick Arthur Earle was born in Grand Falls, NL on July 15, 1913. He was the third oldest of eight children. Fred's father, William Earle, worked in the paper mill and also served as an MHA for Grand Falls between 1928 & 1932.

Released 40 years ago, the Talking Heads' album Little Creatures remains their best-selling studio album. It contains two of my favourite songs of theirs - 'And She Was' and 'Road to Nowhere' - although the entire album is great! #Vinyl #ClassicAlbums #80sAlbums #VinylFriday
There are a lot of great album openers, but 'Roundabout' - from the album Fragile by @yesofficial - is pretty hard to top. It sounds amazing & the whole band - Anderson, Howe, Squire, Wakeman & Bruford - were in top form, making this song & album instant classics #Vinyl #ProgRock

The @SmithereensHQ were one of my dad's favourite bands from the 80s. Dad - a baby boomer - grew up on 50s & 60s rock & roll & felt the Smithereens reflected the sound & energy of that classic era. He wasn't wrong. This album, from '89, is my favourite of theirs. #Vinyl #80smusic
The debut album by @thecarsband is so good. What an experience it must have been for a teenager in 1978 listening to this album for the first time; Good Times Roll, My Best Friend's Girl and Just What I Needed are the first 3 songs! Incredible. #vinyl #70sAlbums #ClassicAlbums
This is one of my favourite live albums - The Symphony Sessions by @TomCochraneMUS & Red Rider from 1989. A simply brilliant listen from start to finish. Tom & band are joined by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, and elevate great songs like White Hot to a new level. #vinylrecords

I've loved everything @r0bbier0berts0n has released. Of course his work with the Band is legendary; but his solo albums were also brilliant. His first solo album is my favourite, but the followup - Storyville - is a close second. Soooooo good! #vinyl #FridayVinyl #vinylcommunity

I'm thoroughly enjoying the new @tearsforfears release. Songs for a Nervous Planet is a (mostly) live album with 4 new (and excellent 👍) studio tracks. The concert performances are brilliant; Roland, Curt & crew are in top form. Highly recommended! #80smusic #vinyl #FridaySpins

Unfortunately, grandad died in 1986 at the young age of 72, however I am forever proud of the sacrifice he and the other soldiers of the 166th made during World War II. It's been 76 years since the end of WWII, & we must never forget these heroes. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget

Hot off the success of the single 'Don't You (Forget About Me)', Scottish band Simple Minds released this album in 1985. Once Upon a Time (produced by the great Jimmy Iovine) contains the hits 'Alive and Kicking' and 'Sanctify Yourself'. A great listen. #80sAlbums #vinylrecords
Spooky Tooth were a great 60s/70s rock band. This album - The Mirror (1974) - was their last before the band split & members Gary Wright & Mick Jones (future Foreigner founder) went on to greater success. Check it out if you haven't already #FridayNightVinyl #ClassicRock #vinyl

Crime of the Century by Supertramp is arguably their best album (although Breakfast in America is a close second). The production on this album is superb, & the songs by Rick Davies & Roger Hodgson are brilliant. Bloody Well Right! #vinylcollection #FridayNightVinyl #classicrock
Greatest Hits collections can be hit or miss, but this one by @billyjoel - released in 1985 - is one of the best. For an 80s teenager like myself, this album became a soundtrack at many a house party; so many great songs. #FridayNightVinyl #GreatestHits #vinylcollection #vinyl

I've always loved @davidgilmour - not only with Pink Floyd, but also his solo work. All of his solo albums are great, but this first one (from 1978) is one of my favourites as it gives some hints of what was to follow with DG's work on The Wall album. #vinylcollection #vinyl
Interesting tidbit of trivia - accompanying David on this album is bassplayer and soon-to-be @rockhall inductee Rick Wills (from @ForeignerMusic).

I had the privilege of seeing @JeffLynnesELO live in Toronto last month on their farewell tour. What a show & performance by Jeff Lynne and company - chock full of hits, many coming from this classic ELO album. A New World Record from 1976 is arguably their best. #vinylcollection
