1966 Mono 1st press of this brilliant album from my youth 
True classic album. Used to have a copy myself before I gave away my vinyl away to friends foc.
Vinyl
Streaming | CD FLAC rip
Hand.Cannot.Erase, Steven Wilson. 24/96 rip from DVD. I've been playing this lots since yesterday & I reckon it's the best solo album he's done to date :
JD McPherson - Let The Good Times Roll (2014)
A good old rock 'n roll, rhythm and blues and rockabilly mix, JD has a great voice.
Vinyl
Arrived today. 1st and I think only press of this fairly rare LP. Luckily it's in good nick and I'm enjoying it.

Not having a pop at you Steve, but this to me epitomises the madness of the cult of the picture. It looks interesting, you listen to some interesting stuff, so...I'm interested.
But but what the heck is it? Who's it by and what sort of music.
A few words say a lot more than an unaccompanied picture of a sleeve.

I've not heard it Tony but a mutual friend say's he felt like slitting his wrists after hearing it. I believe the content is a bit dark.

Glad you like it Tony. I picked up the CD from 'The Shed', then went back for the vinyl the next day. The emotional impact comes through - being based in part, on a non-fictional tragic life and death.

The Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue and Somethin' Else are reasonably good. Maiden Voyage is so so being a little more flat in presentation. I looking forward to hearing the MM LP when it arrives
Steve,
Well then, MM33 will blow it away.
Almost always imports use a distant copy of original master. I was told that the record companies never let the original leave the country.
Just playing side one. You're right.

The Flock ~ Best of The Flock
I managed to find a 'best of' on Spotify to see how much I remember of them or not...
"The Flock were the band that Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant pulled the plug on at the 1970 Bath Festival because they were playing for too long and Grant wanted to get Zeppelin on as the sun went down."
A couple of CD AIFF rips, time to make a bit of a noise:-
Local (ish) lads Royal Blood, and now something similar but older:-
RUSH - Caress of Steel.
It will only be rips or vinyl now, as my CDSII/XPS went to a new home yesterday. Small tear. 
E.P. as recommended by Fred Simon
