On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
I’ve not played this solo piano album for ages, and had forgotten how good it is.
Great album, I hear it every now and then....
James Moody: Return from Overbrook.
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa "Black Coffee" This'll get a regular spin around these parts ........... Beth Hart goes from raw grit hard country gall, to sassy, to don't f*** with me boy, to honey mellow, to american songbook, rock, jive & blues. All backed up by a great backing band & the outstanding geetar genius that is Joe Bonamassa.
Carly Simon > No Secrets (16/44.1)
Diving into the Tales of Us superdeluxe box, I decide to play the album on CD, rather han vinyl as I usually do. Sounding absolutely splendid, but Will and Alison would sound brilliant on a moble phone.
One of the items in the Tales of Us box set is an additional CD, containing exclusive material, as follows:
Lee
Stranger (Moog Mix)
Thea (Alternative - Featuring Sa Ding-Ding)
Jo - Drew - Alvar (Live at Manchester International Festival)
Nowhere Boy (soundtrack)
A fine trio album...

Zero 7 - Simple Things
Their fine debut album getting another spin as it sure helps lower the blood pressure.
Listening to the vinyl LP from this package. First impressions are that it sounds pretty good, certainly better than the other vinyl pressing I have...
Good Cajun album - Playing on Vinyl on Ace Records 1987
Jan Willem de Vriend - The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra
Beethoven Symphonies 1 & 5
Great performance of the Beethoven symphonies. Sound quality is very good of this recording.
