Re: Royal Tea 23 October 2020

“...Royal Tea.. . It’s out today.. Now, all that’s left is to figure out if you prefer one lump or two in your Earl Grey.

Ooooh, no lumps (sugar) in Earl Grey tea, Joe!

You seriously need to try Yorkshire tea 'Malty biscuit' & Toast and Jam tea!!!

Unforgivable probably, with all that stiff stuffiness of the routine, but, while this link lasts (pre-forgive the improper tea pot! roll), I think what Joeking Joe was critically suggesting was, go ahead and have at it, knock yourself out: https://youtu.be/UKyhTX9LQEA

Joe just keeps getting better over time.  This album IS sweet!  Hit Me!!!

Re: Royal Tea 23 October 2020

I did the Target pre-order with in-store pick up option. It arrived yesterday but I wasn't able to get over there until a little earlier today:

For what it's worth, the store where I picked up my order had another six copies on display in their CD department, but at the regular price ($3.00 more than I paid for the pre-order).

Going to gorge on new Joe right after dinner! cool

Are we supposed to get an email with the link or is it somewhere else?

but I'll be on the road again today and will get more listens in

I agree, I think I like these as much or better than the bonus tracks on other albums.  They're solid songs and fit in nicely.  Glad I was able to pick that up.

The tin is great isn't it? I personally have listened through a few times now and the album really grows on you. Joe's solely written 'Beyond the Silence' is still my favourite.....

Yeah, agree with you on Beyond The Silence; also really like Why Does It Take So Long To Say Goodbye. Definitely has a "British" flavour, like hamburger smothered in HP Sauce.

Are the bonus tracks ballads or uptempo songs?

Don't You Do Me No Favous is a mid-tempo R&B song that veers into straight up rock in the bridge.

Don't Hang Me Your Hangups is an uptempo blues.

Re: Royal Tea 23 October 2020

Sooooo happy as my hand signed copy along with a few other 'Bona' goodies are on their way.
So that will be a few weeks before they get to the UK....

So just the Gold Vinyl/CD set to buy and that's all formats covered for this album!!

I agree with you 'Why does it take so long to say goodbye' is absolutely awesome and I'm loving playing it on my Strat!
It most certainly has a 'British' feel and it eeks Gary Moore to me....

Mind you that said, I love all the tracks on the album very much....

Re: Royal Tea 23 October 2020

Imho and strictly Imho: bonus rtacks are a little underwhelming in contrast with brilliant album. Very good, but....  Probably have to listen few more times.

  (  bty tracks are on YT already )
