What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
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:

The Groundhogs-Thank Christ For The Bomb vinyl
Which one do you prefer Steve?
I'm currently listening to TCFTB (Blue Liberty).
Probably favour Split at the moment but only because I'm a little more familiar with a couple of the tracks.Will definitely be hunting down more of their albums.TCFTB is a second press still A1 but on the black Liberty.The sound quality on both albums is stunning.
Oh and thanks for the little nudge I needed to go and collect them.
I thought you'd prefer Split. TCFTB is still quite bluesy whereas Split has some great rock riffs. I can recommend all their '70s albums and they can be picked up for relatively little money.
Steve
Scratching the Surface. Original Liberty.
The music on this LP is very good but the production by Mike (The Wombles) Batt is appalling. Tony McPhee told me it was a big regret with this LP that the production was so bad.
Steve Split edged it this morning Loud. TCFTB gets the vote tonight low volume wifes asleep on sofa but still tapping her feet along to the music
Blind Faith on vinyl.A RSO midprice pressing from the 80's I picked up for £2 SQ not as bad as I thought it would be.
On vinyl:-
On vinyl:-
Artist: Knut Rössler - Johannes Vogt with Miroslav Vitous
Title Of Album: Between The Times
Year Of Release: 2007
Label: The ACT Company (Germany)
Nirvana. Nevermind. On CD from 1991.
Hard to beat this for some late night chillin' out.
Rush. 2112. On vinyl from 1976.
I love Gerard Souzay's '61 set, but this '62 Fischer-Dieskau/Moore set is quite good. Sonically, Souzay's original Philips pressing is much better than this 80s reissue, but both the phrasing on vocal and the timing of piano is just excellent to create expressive but natural rendition of the tunes. HIs rendition of Der Leiermann is utterly believable.
Booker T & The MGs. Greatest Hits. On original vinyl from 1970.

I would suggest you also give Matthias Goerne a try, I quite like his recordings on Schubert..
Hi, Graham. I have only seen a couple of videos but have not listened to their latest offering. I do have their first album but have never been much into them but I do see a lot of members have played and recommended it tthough. I'll try to get hold of a copy before commiting to buying the album.

Hi Tony.
The new AM album is nothing like their 1st. It is a far more mature album, it is a mixture of thumping bass notes, intricate vocal layering and fabulously acute wordsmithery. I think it shows the Monkeys at the peak of their powers. Could be the album of the decade! IMO
Graham.
The 1st album is good for dancing and shaking your booty.
The last one is good for sitting down and drinking a glass of wine or two.
Ten Years After - Ssssh, On vinyl
