Nope, this one requires my undevided attention. Winker

Has spring finally arrived in your neck of the woods, we are well into autumn down under but it feels like late summer - no complaints from me.

Cheers ... Oliver

I've been interested in getting this. How do you like it? I see this is available and also a 2 LP combo - Ray Charles & Betty Carter/Dedicated to You. Would that be worthwhile as well?

Thanks,
Pat

Pat,

I play this recording quite often, like the play between Ray and Betty's voice and the arrangements.

I can't talk to the LP set. On CD this is available on silver and on gold CD from DCC. I have both, the gold CD is slightly better but difficult to find and expensive. The silver DCC is not too expensive and I can highly recommend it.

Cheers ... Oliver

Classic is too simple a word to describe this seminal Hip Hop 12" from 1982 sampling Kraftwerk to awesome effect, this is what I was listening to when I was 12 in 1982 and I'm so glad I did it shaped my alternative appraoch to music Big Grin.
