Meat Loaf, Bat out of Hell, not the best sounding album ever but brilliantly good music and just as enjoyable to listen to as it ever was.  Original vinyl.

Slovakia v England on 5 Live.

Mid-range and vocal delivery of SBLs exemplary.

If only the deliveries from England's midfield were a bit better!

The Beatles. Love. On CD from 2006. Got an email from the lads' website recently announcing this is available for streaming. A good reminder I hadn't played this in a while. A brilliantly creative musical journey from Giles and the late Sir George. Great cover art as well. Would love to see the show one day.

(1993)

Volume 3 of 4 comprising most of The Royal Scam '76 and Aja '77, just because it's a pleasant way to start the day.

Playing disc two live from the Empire Pool Wembley in '74. It's been quite a while since I've played this one, sounding very good in DSD.
