What is it. Too small to read without my binoculars. An album of train noises?


The loco in the picture is Souther Pacific, no 4449. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_4449

Mrs L just walked in and said - you listen to some really nice stuff (like the Sinatra) but this is really crap Winker

Sounds OK to me - what I expected.

I was also listening to Glitter and Doom this weekend and my fiance also commented that it was really crap. I just laughed.

Don't know if this is the best version but I bought it after seeing Ms Little perform it at the Proms.

Let's do. It sounds superb on the vinyl. I have the MOFI CD as well so will give it a go.

This is one of the quietest vinyl pressings I have heard. If only they were all like this.

DenisA,
These are very good, But i think the new remastered CDs, especially - Angel Eyes are suffering from the "Loudness War" plague and are a little unpleasent to listen to, unfortunatly they don't do Kiki any favours.

Chris,

Thanks for the tip about the remasters. I only have Loving & Free and I've Got the Music in Me on vinyl. I will get both the CD's listed here, cos I like what i've heard. I will post as soon as Kiki announces tour dates next year. I saw her just the once in the 70's and I have never seen a more nervous performer... at the start. Her confidence gradually grew and made fellow hippies happy Winker
