10cc, Sheet Music. Listening to ripped CD and sounding great, but this is one of those albums that has me investigating buying a record player to get the full experience.

Smartass, clever, clever, Art school, stuff perhaps, but clever it certainly is and some belting tunes. An all time fave. Joyous Album.

Van Morrison - Avalon Sunset, this finds Van in gentle mood with some great songwriting.Playing the remaster with an awesome version of "When The saints Go Marching In " as a bonus track

Joan Armatrading - Walk Under Ladders - vinyl

Must be one of her best. Really enjoying the new drive and excitement. Hard to see how this could sound better. Amazing drums and bass guitar on Only One. Great ending.

Antonio Forcione & Sarah Jane Morris - Compared to What

Streaming on TIDAL........  Recent mention of Antonio in another thread prompted me to give one of his albums a spin...... sounding mighty fine indeed!

I'd missed this as SJM is one of my favourites - August is a brilliant album IMV. 

Thank you SK for flagging this.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this. Faust’s playing is just wonderful, with a fine accompaniment on the harpsichord. It’s a beautiful recording too.

Just finished this album. One of the greatest live albums in progressive metal/rock...
