Francois Couperin: Les Ombres Errantes
Iddo Bar-Shai, piano
This to remind me NOT to buy the re-issue 
1st press vinyl
From the MONO box set
One of the all time classic albums. Never really liked the Strolling Bones after Taylor left.

Yep, "can't you hear me knocking" is his finest hour. What a track!

If I recall correctly, isn't that the album cover with the real zip?

Yes, it is. I house mine in a 800g PVC sleeve so it won't damage other record covers.
Busoni: Transcriptions of works by Bach & Brahms: David Theodor Schmidt (Klavier)
An assortment of wonderful Busoni recreations of great works of music. For example, the Chaconne, which is from Bach's second Partita for solo violin is what I would consider an indispensable piece of music. I couldn't imagine a world without it personally. Schmidt, somehow creates a fresh, clear vision here with loads of colour due in some part to his choice of instrument which is a fantastic sounding Bechstein.

It was a pain in the arse to store in your record collection because of it.
Another winner.
Well if you were disappointed in his first solo disc like I was then I can promise you won't in this one. Promised potential realised. Stunning album. Another guitar god is born.
Thanks ewemon. Have been debating whether to get this or leave it alone.

Latest from The Rosebuds. Lots of good homegrown artists here in NC.
Live in Montreaux July 2014
OK ewemon - I'll bite; is this a boot? I can't seem to find it.
"Privateering" with Mark Knopfler. I quite like this album with its mix of blues, rock and folk music.

My advice Pat is for you to listen to it first before deciding as you may not like it as much as I do.
