Big Big Train - Folklore, on vinyl...
Harry Manx an official live recording (never released) from his 2010 tour
Late afternoon stripped to the bone blues, from the master of chill.
Tragic fantastic debut from Brooklyn based RockSteady quartet shortly after they finished recording lead singer Daniel Klein whose beautiful falsetto voice was the bands trade mark succumbed to a neurological condition and passed away 
Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life (CTI - 50th anniv. CD). Okay - wicked team here and so is the result! Best on a system that can accommodate Carter's bouncy double-bass lines and huge dynamics. Soulf, funk, fusion. all of that jazz !

Interesting solo piano effort of a great young jazz musician...
Quality soul .............. great band, great singer.

(1992)
A well recorded live album from the Ozrics featuring some of their early music, punchier and more dynamic than their studio work, lovely.
"Underslunky works both as a live album and an early best-of, making it the perfect introduction to the surreal world of the Ozrics for the novice, a great addition for the fan due to the extended/altered nature of the tracks, a beautiful document of their early-to-mid career and one of its peaks, all at the same time." - A small extract from a Discogs comment, the full review can be read here.
Original vinyl
Why? I fancied listening yo a bona fide classic and letting it wash over me like a cool breeze...

A classic indeed, my first "serious" girlfriend bought me this because she liked it, it got a lot of play. I still like to stream it once in a while.
