Bruce Springsteen. The River. Original vinyl from 1980. Thought I'd give this a listen with the new box set being released in two days. Have yet to see the related HBO documentary that premiered last Friday.
Pierre Monteux/LSO : Sibelius Symphony No.2 1958 Recording
Much better structured and rhythmically astute than Ormandy set.
Montuex’s handling always has a ballet like a lyrical sense of rhthym. Expansive and proud happy 1st movement. Monteux gives much needed scale and larger than life presence.
Kenneth Wilkinson engineered early stereo sounds fabulous even on this later London STS reissue.
Forgotten how good an album this is.
Yesterdays listening
Red Hot Chili Peppers. Stadium Arcadium. On CD from 2006. John Frusciante's superb guitar stylings never fail to impress - the glue that binds this fantastic double album.
Forgotten how good an album this is.
Great album great artist, I'll give it a play now from Tidal.
As is Celtshmerz by Richard T played by hook earlir, I'll cue that up too.
WAV
(1982)
Had this playing in the car for a while so its time to play it on a better system. Not one of his best albums but still very good to listen to.
Just had a morning listening to this...
...followed by this...
...Impressed with Gilles Peterson volumes 1 and 2.
Every time I hear track 3 of vol. 2 I go and scan around for an original copy of the Paul Gonsalves Quartet's Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick. I'm not sure I'd ever be able to afford copy if I found one (unless it was at the charity shop) but it's nice to have the title track on this superb compilation of rare British Jazz.
Listened to this, as it's part of the daily Christmas Deal of eClassical....

This original 1984 CD arrived this morning via the Netherlands and the SQ is excellent, exactly as hoped for, a real delight.
This is just great - if you happen to like accordion, which luckily I do.
...
Nick Cave - Abattoir Blues
...
Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus was his best IMO - great album!
The Boatman's call is probably mine, along with the wonderful Murder Ballads. I've got a few of his albums.

So perhaps this will be of interest:

On CD:-
Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto
WAV
(1992)
The Pogues "Rum, Sodomy & the Lash" - such a gem of an album!
In an Irish mood today it seems. "Fisherman's Blues"
Over to a Spanish mood; "Sketches of Spain"
