This is really very good and hard to believe it's over forty years old now.

I have often felt that Pendragon are much underrated. They have released a raft of good and very good progressive rock albums since the mid 80s, this is another one of them with a slightly harder edge to it.

Previously recommended on this forum and now playing most enjoyably here.

Went to buy this today and noticed you can get a delux edition with 24 bit download or just the 24 bit download.

I do believe this site is starting to cost me money

Time for some LZ. Who needs a reason for doing that?

LZII was my first LZ album and though I love most of their stuff this one remains the tops for me. It must be one of the all time classic albums.

Not my favorite Casandra album, have to see if I am going to see her at North Sea Jazz Festival, or choose other concerts ....

One Led Zep album leads to another.  Rock and Roll on this really does rock!

Bruce Springsteen. Tunnel Of Love. On vinyl from 1987. A direct metal master from Bob Ludwig with a fast, punchy sound. Another of Springsteen's LPs that I enjoy more now than when it was released. Quality stuff.

Bob Seger. 'Live" Bullet (1976). On Capitol purple label vinyl from 1978. One of the customary 8-track albums for my brother and me driving to high school in the late-70s. The Travelin' Man to Beautiful Loser segue is brilliant.
