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:

What can I say....Neil in fine form back 1970....it is just sublime and what a great year it was.....well I like it! 
You're not the only one. 
Classic album.
I'm in the mood for more ELP now
On vinyl:-
Yello - Flag
Rush - Fly By Night.
The Bevis Frond- New River Head
On CD
The last of my recent Seal album purchases
The Wallflowers "Glad All Over"
Fallen - Just love Everybody's Fool
Steely Dan "A Decade of ........"
After a good clean on the RCM. In the light is a particular favourite...
I'm playing an old copy i got via ebay a couple of years back.
French pressings that look like a reissue of gawd knows when of the pre-barcode age but they cleaned up okay, playback has some insignificant surface noise and some high frequency harshness that needs the volume lower than one would rather for Led Zep, this is a shame - can easily imagine it sounding better although SQ does seem to improve from one side to the next, don’t know if this is the vinyl, the red wine, or getting pulled into the music, all three I hope : )
Debs
Debs,
Zep albums are renowed for their, let's say, less than perfect pressings SQ. A bit of the red stuff(when drunk: not very good at cleaning records
!) may help counter balance it. In the old days? Well...People just could not give a shite about all that stuff! 
Just enjoy it..
Best,
Tony
Last one today, well two actually. I don't normally get the chance to listen this much, more or less all day
Just finished listening to Tamer Animals by Other Lives
A brilliant album with more than a touch of spaghetti western in places. Now listening to
If I need to explain why just listen to Comfortably Numb.

Count in me on this one too! Neil is the Man.
The Cars. The Cars. On vinyl. I have fond memories of finding this one under the tree for Xmas 1978. I played the hell out of it back in the day and it still sounds great .
Oh Scott, how do I love thee...
...especially on a rainy Sunday morning!
On the back of the Dire Straits box set thread I thought I'd play my original. I think it's only been played once or twice over the years since I bought it. Excellent SQ and quite relaxing for a Sunday morning.
CD1 first pressing - fantastically loud! G
Coolsville indeed: Rickie Lee Jones - Live in Philly
