Now during breakfast I switched to the delicate playing of Lupu...

Rush. Grace Under Pressure. On vinyl from 1984. Interesting to read Rolling Stone's review of the album at the time of its release, more than thirty years ago .... "Geddy Lee, the group's bassist and vocalist, has gotten his dog-calling falsetto shriek under control ..... Alex Lifeson is not a particularly interesting lead guitarist, and the strictures of the trio format result in more splattery drum bashing than you'll ever care to hear .... the lack of melody and any but the most rudimentary harmonic development soon becomes oppressive."

I'd guess he wasn't a fan then? I like this album, then again I like all RUSH's albums. I like Marmite too!

Many thanks to Ewemon and Solwisesteve for playing and flagging this up on the forum. New to me, I am really enjoying it on Spotify and have put them on the shopping list.

Rush, All the World's a Stage, dodgy sound quality, recorded live at Massey Hall in 1976 and very raw compared to later live performances, but my God did they rock. Wonderful

The Who ~ Then and Now (2007)

A great compilation choice of Who material, the SQ is good. This particular album can be picked up for about a quid in the rain forest which is fantastic for anyone wanting to fill up on, or get reacquainted with The Who.
