2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Very nice mid-70s US ABC Records pressing. "Your Gold Teeth" and "Show Biz Kids" are worth the price of entry on their own.

I have not heard this though I know the first track from a live release. Thanks for the prompt, there is a lot of his stuff I need to explore.
"Caustic Love" from Paolo Nutini...............................quality Southern soul.............Southern Scotland, that is!
One of my "Desert Island Discs".......................from a seriously talented, yet underrated singer / songwriter.
Future Islands - "Singles" (2014)

Top, top album.....................well reminded..............it's next on here.
Back to the standards: UK first press Liberty mono LP from 1962, sounding amazing...
The War On Drugs - "Lost In The Dream" (2014)
Ending the evening with some smooth blues, from the ever reliable Eric Bibb. 
Late period Bill accompanied by Eddie Gomez on bass and Elliot Zigmund on drums. The pianist is on magnificent form, relaxed and inventive, offering up superb readings of his own classics like "Sugar Plum", "Waltz For Debbie"and the masterpiece "TTTT". Standout cut for me though is a lovely and inventive readsing of the sainted Bobbie G's wonderful "Morning Glory". Taken from a Swiss radio broadcast, this CD has excellent SQ.
