Trinity  Sessions  is an exceptional LP. I saw them a couple of years ago and they still are good live.

Not exactly high fidelity but an historic performance nonethless

Low on vinyl.

My wife's grabbed most of her Bowie albums out of the rack.So I guess that's what we're listening to today.

Power Corruption & Lies by New Order (Factory FACT 75c, 1983). These insanely overpackaged cassettes put out by Factory in the 1980s weren't state-of-the-art in terms of SQ, but as objects they are beautiful...

Best,

Great for a rainy bank holiday Monday

Like others on here I was looking for something to counter the rainy weather. This is my starter for the afternoon. I think LZII was their best album with LZI a very close second.

Don't you just love wet BH

Hey Kevin

Thanks to your recommendations I have also added Black CherrySupernature and Head First to my library. A bit more upbeat but I like them also. 

Cant believe Goldfrapp did "Rocket", an awesome single!
