I watched The History of The Eagles (part 1) on iPlayer last night and found it fascinating, so earlier ...
Eagles - Hotel California, 24/192 followed by ...
Eagles - The Long Run 24/192. You wouldn't know from the music that the band was so close to collapse at this point.
Kremer, Abbado, London Symphony
"Vivaldi: The Four Seasons"
Spotify
Thanks for the Idea Jeff I just fancy a bit of Four Seasons ...
The Avison Ensemble - Concerto Opus 8 (including The Four Seasons), 24/192 a brilliant version of this work, fresh and clean to my ears.
Hello
I don't listen to classical often but some mornings just seem right. And The Four Seasons has always been a simple, relaxing entry to that genre for me. Enjoy your music-filled day.
Jeff A
Chris Smithers
"Train Home"
Spotify
After hearing her w/ David Byrne, thought I would try one of St. Vincent's albums. First listen.
[cd]
I keep meaning to get some of her work, she's on the list. What do you think of this album? Russell
Kremer, Abbado, London Symphony

Thanks Jeff A, enjoy yours too, I'm much the same, I have a few favourite classical pieces but only tend to listen to them occasionally. Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade being my absolute favourite though I haven't found a recording of it I'm absolutely happy with. Russell
First play via Qubuz free month trial (HiFi Quality).
RSD 2014 limited edition clear vinyl...
War On Drugs
"Lost In The Dream"
Spotify - because of recommendations here, with good reason
Why? Because it's been sitting there still in it's wrapper for weeks and I thought it was about time.

Hi BigH47
I have the first release on CD of this. Is the Deluxe Edition worth getting
Raider, There are a couple of extra tracks on CD2 that are pretty good including a Richard Thompson track, some quite different versions of main album tracks. I haven't watched the DVD yet.
I haven't listened to the original against the new one to see if it's a re-master.
I just looked and the 2 X CD + DVD is now £32 I paid £15, not sure if it's VFM, but it's still a great album.
Qobuz Hi-Fi
Because many on the forum are listening to this I thought I would give it a go
Qobuz Hi-Fi

Thanks for the information, I think I will hunt down a copy
Fleetwood Mac - The Very Best Of
Not normally into greatest hits albums much but this one is very good
Fleetwood Mac already did a Best Of album, it was called Rumours!
I've just upgraded my system and started using a streamer (ND5 XS), so I'm going through things again, committing them to a hard disk.
One thing that stood out and surprised me was the quality of recording of Jacqui McShee's voice on Pentangle's 'Cruel Sister'.
For a 1970 recording it's quite delightful. But then the music contains very little of the frequency extremes where the weaknesses of tape systems from that time really show up.

And it's a great album musically to boot
Jordi Savall and company.
