 "Did you know = the album cover pic shows Christine almost as tall as Clive, she is standing on a KEF Coda III    -  my first "hifi" speakers"

 

 I haven't had the good fortune to see them live, although I have seen quite a few videos of them with RT. A fascinating bit of information - even more fascinating if they had borrowed your actual speakers for the shoot?

 "Hmack - I suggest you find their Home & Away album.  It's a rather low-tech recording (possibly even mono) but it sounds superb - great songs and vocals - and the dog barking in the crowd  

                      "

 I don't have that album, so I'll look out for it. The other CD I have is "A change in the weather".

 

Mike, I will check out the other albums you mention in Qobuz. Why are there no special offers on at the moment?

I've been buying quite a lot from charity shops recently. Maybe if I play the 5 album John McLaughlin set often enough, I'll grow to like it?

 

This album ("Electric Dreams")seems a little bit more accessible than some of the rest (well -certain tracks anyway).

 

 

Not at all sure about this!

The English Concert

"Bach: Concertos For 3 And 4 Harpsichords"

On original vinyl, and the only album recorded by Young Marble Giants:

 

 

I recall buying this album after hearing it on the John Peel show shortly after it came out around 1980. Apparently recorded for only £1000 and described by Kurt Cobain as one of the 5 most influential records he had ever heard.

 

Very atmospheric!

BigH47,

 

I have a most of the Richard and Linda Thompson albums, but this one appears to have passed me by. I'll look out for it.
