Est Live in Hamburg
Esbjorn Svensson (Artist) | Format: vinyl
Arrived in post today. My first listen to E.S.T.
BTO. Not Fragile from 1975. I'm comparing two pressings with different mastering, both on Mercury vinyl. Kendun versus Masterdisk JS. I prefer the Masterdisk and find it to be more dimensional, with better dynamic range and a bit more bottom. Kendun has a sweet shine on the top end.
Thank Christ for The Bomb on vinyl.
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac a 1977 Embassy reissue.Will have to try and get Blue Horizon at some point.
Some overnight listening included streaming FLAC rips @ 24/192 of The Brandenburg Concertos by Dunedin Consort from Linn Music
and Alison Goldfrapp also at 24/192
This CD from This...
By a spooky coincidence G, I am listening to this - a superb CD compiled by Robert Plant for Mojo...
The Q sounding very hip (and very good) on vinyl:
Looks like Rain Again 
Playing this track to show solidarity with all the people suffering in the floods.
"Louisiana 1927" is a 1974 song written and originally recorded by Randy Newman on is album Good Old Boys. Telling the story of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 that left 700,000 people homeless in Louisiana & Mississippi.
'What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers land."
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away'

A bit of Lee's bizarre sunshine pop/MOR psychedelia to cheer up a very dismal rainy day... on vinyl:
A vinyl rip. Classic Boyer and Talton.
For those who don't know who they are Duane Allman discovered them and rumour has it he banged on their door in the middle of the night to ask them to play him some songs. He then got them signed to Capricorn and the rest is history.
Theirs is the original version of Please Be With Me which Clapton recorded for 461 Ocean.
Should have been much bigger than they were.
Her 2013 album.
Her very first album which she won't re release as I have asked awhile back.
I know Steve J is not convinced by the SQ of this recent vinyl reissue. However, to my ears it sound v good especially against my early 70s CBS copy 
.
Next up a promo of the above album which is coming to me highly rated by some friends in Texas. Due out in March.
