The All Seeing I - Pickled Eggs & Sherbert

One of my favourite albums of the last century. I love the production (which hasn't aged too badly considering), the guest vocalists (Tony Christie, Philip Oakey, Jarvis Cocker, Stephen Jones), the songs (and the variety of the music), and especially the artwork, which is outstanding, in a time of boring CD artwork. It was their only album.

A couple of years ago, I kept getting algo'd some young bloke on insta reels who was showing off because he had added a beat to the same Buddy Rich sample used on Beat Goes On, essentially re-making it. The comments were all "Look up The All Seeing I, you dumb fuck". Not from me, of course. I liked them though.

On the front of this CD is a Tower Records price sticker. Fourteen pounds forty nine pence. In 1999. Fucking hell, the robbing bastards! (The record company and Tower Records, that is - I'm sure the band never saw much of that.) That equates to AU$76.04 in today's money.
