Deep Purple
Purpendicular CD Rip
Edward
On 24/96, from the ToU deluxe edition. Along with Felt Mountain, Will and Alison's most cinematic and moody album. Sounds amazing!
Playing on Compact Disc - Superb Rory Gallagher album.Worth having in any collection for the title track.
The Beatles - Abbey Road, as its such an iconic cover thought I'd post an outtake from the photo shoot.
Released 2011 - A very candid and thoughtful album. ????
Still find it difficult to fully appreciate this one, while it’s not bad...
Every time I hear this one, full enjoyment...., start to rank for me close to the level of live in Hamburg...
The Frapp get all blingtastically 80s on this very fine platter from 2010. Original UK vinyl:
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Having listened to the programme 'Soul Music' earlier on BBC Radio 4, it seemed only right to play the album.
Playing on Cassette on TDK D C90 - Great Nuggetts garage psychedelia compilation of psych bands from 1965 - 1968.
DSD direct to analogue, via SACD. Super deep bass on this, the best of the Frapp's electro albums.
Playing on Cassette on TDX SA -X C90 - Rennaissance live in Carnegie Hall NYC 1976 - Very nice version of Sheherazade.
Now Playing

Loreena McKennit - Lost Souls
Streaming on TIDAL - a first spin of this May 2018 release. A short 23 minute 9 track album with Loreena talking/introducing her songs. Something different but her voice is beautiful and always a pleasure to hear!
