The Sound of the City compiled by the late Charlie Gillett. This roughly chronologically ordered 5 volume CD set takes you through rock, blues, soul and just about everything else worth listening to in the latter half of the 20th century City by City. The only downside is that it's out of print.

Seen so many recommendations on here for this one, just had to try it.

Streaming now on Tidal, first listen...........................a bit good innit?

Very good indeed and even better when you hear the band play it live.

Ending this evening with one of Daptone's finest, the excellent Mr Bradley, who's success has been long overdue.

It's been a long time since I have listened to any Jackson Browne album released after 1980, thanks Randy and others for urging me to give this one a go I've enjoyed it.

Last night I ripped a dozen CDs to my laptop to enjoy while travelling and this was among them. Great album.

Toby Marks with his individual style of electronica seemed like a good place to start today.

DSD file, a great album. Trevor Horn at his best.
