Original copy of the unreleased HDCD version
Great album ewemon. I have a vinyl copy from back in the day. How did you end up with a copy of an unreleased version?
The Leppards still got their Mojo in 2015. The production and mix are superb, and no digital harshness or fatigue. Amazing, really 
Reminiscing - via Tidal - sounding pretty damn good on the Muso.
And now - forgotten how spine tingling the guitar break on "let it be" is

Got a test pressing from someone I used to work within the music biz many moons ago but if Pono Music eventually comes to the UK the Hi Res download is just as good sounding if not better. Same goes for most of the Neil Young discs.
On vinyl, for obvious reasons:
The SQ of this SBM Gold CD is superb.

Just got some Kinks music going around in my head so had to put on something by them.
On CD, for the Lemster. Who can forget that brilliant bass playing on "Orgone Accumulator"?
On CD. It was an Xmas present. Reflective, downbeat third album (2015) from London singer-songwriter. Made with the help of members of Hot Chip, François & The Atlas Mountains, Babe and This Is The Kit. Great stuff!
On CD. A bit of a rediscovery this one, after buying it 10 years ago and playing it only once.
Had a first go at this, while I listened on and off, no verdict yet....., at least well recorded..
Just bought this yesterday, like the other albums of the trio and Marcin Wascileski, very good...
The Dame's best album. On Japanese vinyl.

I juts fancied a trip down musical memory lane with this Three Dog Night Collection.
Bowie, The Next Day Extra (Collector's Edition) on CD/DVD; another stocking filler, courtesy of Mr Claus:
Some classic King Crimson for the late afternoon.
The title of this James Hunter album refers to his arduous 25-year climb to what might now be deemed 'success! If you are not similar with James's work I recommend that you give him a listen.

Something to soothe the mind and help forget the rainstorms that continue to batter.
Pete Molinari is a british singer/songwriter and guitar player This is his second album and is more or less a trip back into the sixties, in the tradition of early Stones, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie. It features influences drawn from folk, country, rockabilly, and even some bluesy tones.
Vinyl.
I don't think Roxy ever bettered this album.

This one arrived today it's the American version and the SQ is just fine.
