What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2016
2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Beatles For Sale (1964). Late 1970's UK stereo pressing (a treasured import to me). The lads' fourth album and although wrought with cover songs shows a strong progression in Lennon & McCartney's songwriting prowess on their originals. The Carl Perkins-influenced leads from George are brilliant throughout this album.
Last nights listening.
First one up this morning.
(2003)
Some early Anekdoten with some lovely retro mellotron and King Crimsonesque sounds overlaid with guitars that drive it all along nicely.
A very immersive sonic soundscape via my Sony / Shure IEM's.
Boris Blank - Electrified
Great voice, great album. A man who always looked like he was having way too much fun 
Sadly missed.
Robert Palmer - Riptide
A+ | Transcoded DSD
(1967)
Flicking through the library momentarily wondering what to play when this caught my eye, ripped from a 2009 stereo remastered CD by Guy Massey and Steve Rooke.
On CD:-
George Thorogood and the Destroyers - Live in Boston 1982.
Recommended by Wugged Woy of this parish.....................storming live album from George and the boys.................one of their best.
Tidalised it, then saw it from the usual source for a fiver..................how sweet it is!

George Thorogood - Thorogood Live.
Having started, there's just no getting George off my Dansette................................ LOUD..................rock on!
ALEXIS KORNER The Accidental Band (1972 German 8-track LP on the Brain Record Label.
A+ Transcoded DSD
(2015)
Horse Dance - Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation
Their stunning (full size) debut album that for me was one of the best albums of its genre in 2015, let alone best debut album. Swedish, psychedelic but measured, melodic and rhythmic, she does the style so well. It's on Tidal or you can try, buy and download from bandcamp.
In the car whilst doing battle with the dreadful Bristol traffic!
