That said, the debut A.M. is a solid set of songs.  "Casino Queen" is a great one...

This record is to film noir what “Rappin’ Rodney” was to comedy. Cha...

  Artist: Portishead Title: Portishead Label: Go! Beat/London Format: CD Cat #: 314-539-189-2 Year of Release: 1997 Country and Year of Edition Issue: US 1997 Listed Condition: VG+/VG+ Sell Date: 1/31/22 Sell Price:$2.99 Discogs Last Sold: 1/25/22 M/M $8.00 Low: $0.50 Median: $2.34 Average: $3.35 High: $10.00 Current low price: $1.01 F/VG+, $1.99 VG+/VG+ Current Number on Sale at Discogs: 49 Have/Want: 1710/213 Where Sold: North Salt Lake, UT Time it took to sell: 10 years Where and When Bought: tossed collection Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B+ Sad To See It Go: No Better than I remember, I honestly can't remember if I bought this used on the web after Third with it's unexpected Sleep style came out, or if I got it from a discarded collection.  The second Portishead is actually good,hits like " Only You " and "Cowboy" included. The surprise of the record was "Half Day Closing" which sounded like a modern day Led...

On this debut Word Power, there are some strong tracks and some filler. They can acheive "Koxistin U4...
