Ashford & Simpson: Send It
Great R&B writing duo who was somewhat under rated.
This tune is my fave from this album.(Eric Gale on rhythm guitar & Ralph McDonald on percussions! ) Undeniably disco and 70s. A care free days before AIDS hit the scene and long before the 9/11.
Martin Zeller - JS Bach, 6 Suites & Violoncello Solo Senza Basso
Felt like hearing some Bach Cello Suites this evening. Haven't played this one in a while.
What's interesting about this set is Schnittke's cadenza instead of usual Kreisler. Abrupt angular modern sound with lots of pizzicato accents.
Marriner's orchestration is rich and oppulent but keeping the rhythmic pulse along maintaining lively forward momentum.
The final movement showcasing Kremer's laser precision reminding me of Sviatoslav Richter. This is a set that I admire but I can't warm up to it for some reasons.
A real grower of an album for me.
in high res..., a delight...
continue the contrast with the Black Sabbath listeners... in high res
Jimmy Page - Outrider - on cd. 
Haydn 44 from this excellent budget box. Makes a change from Led Zep!
the journey continues in high res...
HENDRIX - Band Of Gypsys - cd. 
A bit of Handel on vinyl (I've been watching Dr Lucy Worsley's series about the first two Hanoverian kings on the BBCiPlayer):
Wild Ones - Keep It Safe
3 x LP - Future Days Recordings / Remaster 2013 : )
My first purchase of anything Grateful Dead.
I’m not very familiar with The Grateful Dead but i'm enjoying this enormously!
And not to mention the stupendous Sonic Q on excellent vinyl : )

Very cool, Debs! Glad you are enjoying it. I bought the CD in 1991. Second live album I picked up. Now after many more, this is still a very enjoyable album. I like the packaging of the vinyl as well.
I haven't listened to this in a long time. Thanks for the reminder!

Ramona Lisa - Arcadia
Found this when browsing the record shop. Interesting that all music was composed on a computer; no instruments were used. Decided to give it a try. After a couple of listens, it is pretty good. For me it falls into the Feist, Taken By Trees vein.
Streaming FLAC rip
Giving some new and new to me music a spin.
St. Vincent - Actor
The Secret Sisters - Put Your Needle Down
