What LPs/Cds has Santa bought?

Don't know yet, Santa not due for another 8 hours. I've dropped enough hints, so hoping for some good ones!

Gary

I'm hoping for Alison Krauss + Union Station Live on vinyl...

Led Zep - remastered CD and DVD of 'The Song Remains the Same' and U2 the Joshua Tree remastered. Now all I need is for my best present - time to listen in peace!
Merry Christmas everybody
Dave

Mark Knopfler - Kill to get crimson

Eleanor McEvoy - Eleanor McEvoy
Eagles - Long Road out of eden
Van Morrison - Still on top

Both sound excellent.

All best,

Todays the day for me to open my pressies. I usually give out a list so I am expecting quite a few today. The parcels are all sitting under our tree and I fell like ripping them open to find out what the kids have got me. Terrible isn't it.

Drive By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera
ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
Grant Lee Buffalo - Mighty Joe Moon
Grinderman - Grinderman

Raising Sand - Plant and Krauss
Travelling Willburys + DVD


jim....

I hoped for raising sand, but did not get it

But did get
Long Road Out Of Eden
Eric Bib iamond Days
Katie Melua:Pictures
DVD Carly Simon:A Monnlight serenade on the Queen Mary2

Bought the James Taylor One Man Band CD/DVD a fortnight ago. I think the DVD is way better than CD

Now ,whereis the cheapest site for Plant Kraus.

I wouldn't worry - it's really dull. I sold mine.

I did get Jazz Soundtracks by Gerry Mulligan - much more like it!

I entirely agree with you on that Nigel.

I have tried it a few times and it has one or two reasonable tracks, but overall there is very little to get excited about. A bit of a case of "Emporor's New Clothes" for me as it seems to be getting so many favourable reviews.

There are also other examples of this type of album that are far better IMHO, e.g Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

Well pressies opened and got the following off my list:

James Taylor- One Man Band cd/dvd
Bruce Springsteen- Live in Barcelona dvd
Stones- Rolled Gold

Godson told me that he couldn't get anything off my list as they were all out of stock so I have started ordering them all today.

The Band - The Last Waltz
Raising Sand - Plant & Krauss.

The last Waltz is brilliant.
Highly recommend the DVD as well

Dave

Just the one for me - Ella Fitzgerald, Live in Berlin. Will have the house to myself shortly and be able to give it a proper listen.

I unexpectedly recieved a DMM vinyl copy of Walking into Clarksdale, by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. I have the album on cassette and have forgotten how good it is.
The album contains the original version of Read the letter from the Raising Sands album

Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Beirut - The Flying Club Cup
both of the above seen on Later with Jools and both very different yet interesting.

Justin Currie - What is Love for?
Front man of Del Amitri being rather pessimistic but good.

Steve Jansen - Slope
with contributions from brother David Sylvian (not listened enough for an opinion yet)

None...not a single solitary disc ... but I have ordered the 'love is the song Nuggets 4' box set with some vouchers I recieved so must'nt grumble!
