Mr Laurie is very much "in the room" this evening, and on fine form too.

Sometimes I trawl through this thread just for the fantastic diversity of the album covers!

 

At present I'm listening to an old vinyl of Duke Ellington "Ellington Uptown" but can't find an image of the sleeve! Sorry folks! It sounds good though!

Haim, you sure know how to schedule my time.  I can never watch this and just move on.  From 7:47 to 11:29 I watch this over and over and over and can not stop.  I've lost count of how many times in the past two hours.  The first four minutes (nouvelle etude no. 2) a few times only because it is in a major key bit especially this op. 10, no. 6 in the proper key is just as profound as it gets with music for me.  And now I'm on to Ragna as well.

+1. There are some beautiful artistic covers, fantastic photos, as well as some humorous covers. Always entertaining.

On CD. This should keep me busy listening for awhile.

Ataraxia, on Vinyl

Possibly my favourite Passport album.

For me it's hard to decide, which is my favorite. I'd go for a few of them.

Handmade,

Looking Thru,

Infinity Machine,

Ataraxia.

 

Maybe my favorite is Cross-Collateral.

 

My Next fav Passport album has always been this.

Prompted by a fascinating edition of "Building a Library" on Radio 3 earlier, I thought I'd drag out this old (ancient) LP I inherited off a relative. A bit crackly but still sounds fantastic - the energy and commitment of the cast and orchestra is phenomenal and it pisses all over that terrible and pretentious 1980s version with Carreras and Te Kanawa, and the film soundtrack:
