Ryan Adams - Cardinology.  CD rip.  Not his best, but pretty damn good.

all on vinyl

Great morning so far

Well, I enjoyed the previous one - so some more from Mr Adams.  Heartbreaker - his solo debut I think from 2000.  Features Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings.

Excellent reissue. Good bass, beautiful mid range, excellent separation and sound stage, vocal mix tremendous , clean & flat. This reissue sounds nearly as good as my 1973 SHVL 804 1st / 2nd press which I bought from new, but without the snap crackle and pop of the original.

A new discovery. For me, Kat Edmonson, Way Down Low. Nice laid back vocal jazz.

Pure bliss for a wet Sunday - the North Star Grassman and the Ravens (live) and Like and Old Fashioned Waltz (live) just bring out the goosebumps

All Them Witches-Lighning at the Door

Discovered this band thanks to this forum. Has turned into one of my favorites. Can't get enough of them.

Jez Lowe - Bad Penny.

Original 1988 vinyl - not played this for probably 20 years

... don't know why not; vinyl is pristine and music is gentle, humourous, sad and well-produced.

Great to find this again

Posted on: 06 November 2016 by Allan Milne

 

Dougie MacLean - Real Estate.

Another original 1988 Vinyl that I haven't listened to in years and years.

Great production and lovely songs, maybe a little sentimental but we all need that now and again.

... and I thought there was no music in the 80's

Alice In Chains-Unplugged

great performance but very sad listening to it

On vinyl:-

Hawkwind - Levitation

Posted on: 06 November 2016 by Chico

Can't find it on youtube for a link, but the track C.H.E.M.I.C.A.L by the Chemical Brothers on Tidal

will bring down the roof of the house. Awesome.     *sorry neighbour*

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - The History of the Bonzos.

1970 vinyl - still pristine.

... what a great way to end a Sunday afternoon ...

huge grin

Having a relaxing afternoon with some recent purchases that i've not had the chance to listen to properly yet. After seeing this get quite a few postings on here. I'm sure this part of the forum is the most costly  

James Taylor - Hourglass
