Ray Davies "Working Man's Cafe" (Spotify Premium US)
After a long week, a bit of Mary Black to relax to
We shall be hearing her live + Clannad on Saturday 29th.
Steely Dan "The Definitive Collection" (Spotofy Premium US)
Haim
Superb version of No. 5, that CD is definitely on my shopping list. Strangely a few dozen available on amazon US, but not a single copy on the UK site.

Aja. Steely Dan. First pressing from 1977.
Ten Years After. Cricklewood Green. Original Deram vinyl from 1970.
Marc Mangen Trio - Strains Of Delight and Despair

So does the legendary Naim PRAT get the timing right on comedy as well as music?
Fleetwood Mac "Tusk" (Spotify Premium US)
Brilliant compilation of French music (Chabrier, Bizet, Satie, Dukas, Saint-Saens, Thomas) conducted by Dutoit leading the Montreal SO. Great performances, excellent recording. On vinyl:
Over coffee and papers.....perfect.

Eric Clapton "August" (Spotify Premium US)
First spin of this vinyl LP which arrived earlier today. SQ seems very good, as GQuad33 and Dr Steve have already said:
