+1 from me - a great debut album, although I only have it on CD and ripped to my NAS,
Eric Clapton. Clapton. On vinyl from 1973.
Never seen that version of the cover before.
Apparently issued in the US and a few other countries. Compilation album of early material.

A great album all round, but in particular I have always found the track 'They shoot horses don't they' haunting and beautiful.
Feel like making some noise today, CD rip AIFF:-
TOOL - Ænima
Solid. I like it.

Nice one H. Great album!

Yes, Gian. Only surpassed by Psychocandy.
"When was the last time you heard piano music that is exquisitely crafted, sounds somewhat familiar but yet completely unknown? Welcome to the cloistered world of the short-lived Spanish composer Manuel Blasco de Nebra (1750-1784), a contemporary of Mozart and Salieri, whose music languished undiscovered for centuries. Spanish pianist Javier Perianes performs a selection of six sonatas, originally for harpsichord or fortepiano, and these sound perfect on the modern piano. Each lasts about 10 minutes, beginning with a meditative slow movement where the sonorities could easily have come from the late Romantic period. The shorter concluding fast movements bear influences from keyboard masters Scarlatti and Soler and share their whimsical qualities. The two Pastorelas, drawn from the archives of Montserrat monastery near Barcelona, close with two dance-like fast movements. This is highly engaging music, beautifully performed."

Not a huge fan but this is OK, CD rip AIFF:-
Steve Vai - The Ultra Zone.

Yes - Good band - very overlooked and underrated!
I do like 'Honey's Dead', but of the ones I have, my personal favourites are 'Autmatic' & 'Darklands'.
I don't have Psychocandy - must check it out.
An outstanding performance combined with a pristine recording released in 1994.
