Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

From last night...
The Early Beatles. Orange Capitol label. I bought this in June 1978 and played it hundreds of times as a teen. I have not heard it for 27 years. Sounds wonderful!
What a brilliant album. So beautiful music and yet so horrible lyrics.
So what is it that makes Berlin so "****ing horrible"? Reed has spoken in recent years of trying to create the musical equivalent of the Great American Novel, and Berlin was his first – and last, for many years – attempt to achieve this. Where Transformer was a series of snapshots of New York freaks, telling strange enough tales to have a little rock and roll edge, but never delving so deep as to really distress, Berlin is a brutally unflinching portrait of a drug-addicted couple and their sustained, and tragically successful, efforts to destroy themselves and each other.

A bit of local music for a change. Below a small sample
More local stuff
... and a sample (note young Esa-Pekka Salonen on French horn)
4-LP box set
A Thompson family album, Linda in very good voice, help from Teddy, Kami, Richard, grandson Zak.
Many guests acoustic guitar from Richard, Swarbs , Carthys and others.
The packaging on this late 1990s CD is absolutely dreadful, but the SQ's fine and the music is friggin' great
After seeing him on Jools last night, purchased today on CD.
CD rip
2 x LP retrospective - the very best of e.s.t. / this compilation © 2009 : )

Dan Berglund - bass
Magnus Öström - drums
I have not played this album for a very long time and must say its is very very good indeed. Thanks to Harry for the Dylan V Morrison thread at this rate I may have to change my vote!
