Leonard Cohen - SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE

Leonard Cohen - SONGS OF LOVE AND HATEThird studio album from 'The Master' and I suppose my favourite. An old friend and I used to have fun trying to guess which songs were which, before realising the clue was in the 'and'. This is the original UK release.

Brian Eno and Tony Visconti

Last of his that I bought on Vinyl because follow up 'Death of a Ladies Man' had been disappointing for me (and I think most other fans) - whoever came up with the idea of pairing Cohen with Phil Spector

I have always been drawn to 'big band/orchestral' music and the use of brass

although I don't think his subsequent efforts matched it

Also titled 'Subteranean Homesick Blues' in some countries

Sleeve signed by bassist Eugene Wright

Actually in my youth it was my sister who was the Beatles fan

this album features both 'Still' and 'Sail On'

A free-form jazz influenced album by a modern 'string quartet' comprising violin

Double 'Best of' of tracks taken from all 4 Cream studio albums

Early greatest hits compilation of one the truly great British pop rock bands led by the genius that is Ray Davies

I have loved Mr
