Anyway, links:

...his make up is good, how does he play ?
...and it's better than mine, but his play really is fantastic imho 
Seven 5-Star reviews on Amazon so far, but don't let that put you off!

This is a fantastic recording, fantastic pianism and a the Berliner Philharmonicer with a great conductor ........
Maybe close to the optimum in therms of balance between piano und orchestra

This, on vinyl.
Here's why:
Last night I went to a friend's birthday do in Hackney and ended up having a drink and a chat with one of my heroines, the very lovely and very beautiful Viv Albertine, guitarist with the above beat combo. I can't believe she is 59, and looks like this:
Viv told me that the secret to staying young was staying out of the sun.
On CD. Messy, chaotic, great.

Nice one Steve, not played that for ages, I'll rectify it soon.

Well, I did have a massive crush on her when I was 15/16 (see below - that's her on the left, obviously)
Now I know mud is supposed to be good for the skin, but I have to say she is even more beautiful now - 35 years on - in the flesh and seems to get better looking as she gets older (I have met her a number of times before).
On red vinyl..
Fly, by Yoko Ono on Ryko Jap CD
On vinyl...
This is a very interesting album. Its full of sounds from my childhood. Is the first time it has been made available on vinyl in its original form. Its not an album that I will play a lot but worth having in my collection. File under 'Quirky'.

Kev, im by no stroke of the imagination an expert on women, but do you not suspect that you may be worshipping at the wrong altar here ? It's the same with this strange Borgen fixation you have... I mean she may appear physically attractive, but wouldn't you say there is something slightly....mannish...about her?
Looking forward to Kev's reply to this…
Thought it was about time I bought some ...
