Description
The Goodies released four albums and a number of singles during the 1970s, as well as a various greatest hits compilations on both vinyl and CD. None of their original albums has ever been released on CD. This listing is for their rare 3rd album.
The record itself is in MINT condition, the sleeve is a little scuffed around the edges and spine - but it is 35 years old!
The Goodies: Nothing To Do With Us (November 1976)
Island ILPS 9452
Bill Oddie described this as “musically, the best record we ever made”. The album opens with an ambitious 12-minute rock opera in the style of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. The lyrical content is much less family-friendly than their previous albums, with frequent references to sex and drugs and, like their 4th album, you won't find any of these songs on any CD release.
