Guardians Of The Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol 1. Working late, so need something a little lively. I don’t buy many movie soundtracks, but I thought this was great fun (as was the movie!).

The Impossible Gentlemen - The Impossible Gentlemen. CD rip.

A great album, just wish I got along as well with their latest release.

This was very close to the Albert Collins LP I played earlier, so decided to give this 1985 classic a spin as I haven't heard it in ages. Original vinyl:

Haven't listened to that album in ages. I'll need to correct that.

In memory of Greg Lake (and Keith Emerson earlier this year)

ELP - ELP (1970)

ELP - Trilogy (1972)

both on original vinyl.

I particularly enjoy the first album.

RIP Greg.

UB 40 - Signing Off.

Their first, and probably their best album.

Watched the documentary on the Beeb, what a sad ending to a piece of UK music history.

Still, looking on the bright side, I've just managed to score tickets for UB 40, (Ali, Astro and Mickey), at Scarborough Open Air Theatre next June, so it's all good. cool

Rush, Exit Stage Left, one of the few live albums I listen to on a regular basis and the sound of my teens. 2015 version, 24 bit Flac via Audirvana/Hugo.

Lonelady - Hinterland

I can't better this, from the net: "Lonelady combine a superb post-punk funk undertow a la Gang of Four/Au Pairs with the fragility of New Order circa 1980-82 with an A Certain Ratio twist...and somehow make it sound 21st Century! Not to be missed..."

Gang of Four, Au Pairs, New Order and ACR in one album. Surely it cannot be so? I shall investigate.
