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;
US Columbia first pressing on vinyl. I didn't even know I had this but Mrs K was overcome with a wave of 1980s nostalgia (I think she fancied the singer back in the day) so we played it. It's not aged badly compared to a lot of '80s product, but it's not that interesting, barring one track. SQ is very good though.

Haunting album...
This was released 3 Years ago. I really hope they have it in them to follow this up to the same standard. That is if they are still together?
More 80s. UK first press vinyl. They started to lose me after this one, it's the last LP of theirs I like from beginning to end.
Listening to this. I will also download the live version of this one of the LiveJazzLounge. A great piece of music.....
Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes. WAV CD Rip.
Bought this album on CD when it came out, Sounds fantastic.
I caught up with the recent UB40 BBC4 documentary last night. A shame to see what has happened but a good reminder of the music they made.
UB40 - Signing Off
Reviewing all those who have left us this year ...
Currently on The Three Fates by Keith Emerson; 2012 CD rip via UnitiServ.
Next is Leonard Cohen but so many albums to choose from ...
The Future Crayon by Broadcast, on double vinyl.
Ambient Dub Electronica. New Wave of New Age.
1968 - UK - Mono pressing...
After the brief detour to the noughties (Broadcast), it's back to the 1980s. Was this sprawling monster the best LP of the '80s? Maybe not, but it is certainly in the top five albums of that benighted decade.
Original UK (Blast First) vinyl:
On CD:-
Kandace Springs - Soul Eyes.
Thanks to Tony2011 for this one.
My Bloody Valentine . M.B.V.
Played very loud..
1970 - Vinyl - U.K. First pressing...
Real Chicago jazz/ soul in the house.
Prompted by Toby Jug above, here's another 1980s classic (Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine) on UK first press vinyl, although sadly I seem to have lost the free 7" single 
1973 - Vinyl - U.K. First pressing...
