Must try and expand my Adams collection but not sure it gets better than this classic.

Graeme, I have most (not all) of his output and I think this is still probably his best. Ashes and Fire, Cold Roses and Love is Hell are IMHO the others that are most consistent. Lots of gems on his other albums though. I dug out Cardinology the other week after seeing it posted on here and really enjoyed it. Cheers N.

Sunday morning is for classical music for me. Preferably classical piano....., so I have other choices....
This was my start to the day earlier - prior to relatively pathetic 6 mile run, although it did involve quite a lot of hill work. 
Tidal.

1974 - Original vinyl...
Paradise by Robert Schroeder on original vinyl from 1984. Most enjoyable
Rolf Lislevand & Ensemble Capsberger
"Norwegian guitarist Rolf Lislevand here takes up the music of a newly hot composer, Spain's Santiago de Murcia, who is thought to have lived in Mexico in the early eighteenth century since some of his manuscripts were found there. The chief interest in his music resides in his cross-cultural use of dance rhythms; his works, vocal or instrumental, are brimming with vigorous Spanish and Italian dances, and he was one of the first Western composers to encounter West African rhythms and incorporate them into his music."

Because I watched the "Classic Albums" programme last night. Tidal.
Last one before the Michael McDonald era.

Their debut album that brought with it a great mix of eclectic world sounds over washed with americana.
