First play of the recently released 3LP version of this great live album. The greatest rhythm section in rock 'n' roll history sounding very realistic indeed.

It's a great pressing! My original copy did walkies many years ago so It's nice to rediscover its joys. Incidentally, the digital download doesn't seem to be available at the moment.

Michael Jackson. Thriller Via Tidal. 

A work colleague commented that MJ would probably sound great on my system. He was right, this was thoroughly enjoyable.

Very nice album Haim, its been on my Tidal list for ages (since someone on here recommended it).  Giving it another run now - probably ought to look at purchasing it.  Cheers N.

Yes, why? ELP were dreadful, overindulgent rubbish.
