Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers. Damn The Torpedoes. On HDCD.
Beck. Morning Phase. On vinyl released earlier this year. Dreamy, relaxing music on a wet and foggy Sunday evening.
A teen age nostalgia.
Most of the tunes are ear candy fluff but I loved the power ballad 'Hold' written with Patti Smith in this album.
Bit of a Shawn Phillips morning.
A number of sample trax from the album and please don't ask me to comment.
Since this has come out, it has to be this, doesn't it?
I still really like Medicine Head - Timeless music.
Followed by:
- A collection of fantastic live tracks from LC. I especially like the guitar and sax solo on this version of 'Bird on the Wire'.
subtle...
I really liked the disc and especially the last part of it which was really on a different level. I have copied in some review comments from different sides. Highly recommended...
Recording of the Month: 'Ingrid Fliter seems to be able to achieve individuality seemingly effortlessly, with cherishable and memorable results. She is a virtuoso of the first order but she holds this in reserve, so when she does unleash her full technical armoury, it's extraordinarily potent. A gem of a disc.' Gramophone
'Lyrical gifts are manifest throughout a gorgeous disc...' The Telegraph
'…truly memorable moments from Ingrid Fliter…' The Guardian
'…the five Mazurkas and two Nocturnes are so outstanding that I would recommend this disc for them alone...I know that I will return to this recording many times.'
International Record Review
Disc 6 of 6 streamed from my NAS. I don't like very many classically trained voices, but Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is one of the exceptions, and this recording sounds marvellous on my Primare/Magneplanar 3.6R system.
Followed by:
Simply beautiful music!
Richard Thompson
"Acoustic Classics"
Courtesy of Oxfam:
On vinyl: Janis Ian - 'Night Rains'
Sia
"1000 Forms Of Fear"
Listening to the outtake of 'Ride' with the new addition of a HCDR on the SN2 and it is fabulous!
FLAC rip - NDX/Hugo.
G
Tom Petty & the heartbreakers
"Hypnotic Eye"

Stop teasing people then. You would make a terrible spin doctor!
My vinyl copy of Endless River arrived today from Amazon but is going back.
The cardboard mailer had a big dent in one side and LP1 is badly warped!! 
Seem to be getting a lot of warped records recently.

My copy is fine but as you say there seems to be quite a lot of people having bad experiences with Amazon lately. I wonder if it s happening to other retailers as well.
