What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
The Police - Every Breath You Take - The Singles.
Ending tonight's nostalgiafest with this one .................... they did seem to have the knack of coming up with hit after hit, didn't they?
It surely can't be only me who finds it impossible not to indulge in much enthusiastic, but off key singing along to these songs?

I reckon if they were remastered by Steven Wilson it would make your day!

Tony, please don't abandon this thread because of a Police posting. We can't stand losing you and we would be so lonely. It is no exaggeration to say your postings on here have us wrapped around your finger.
I'll stop now.

So you don't like them then.
No idea why, except the cover looked intriguing and a bit proggy, on holiday, relaxing with some vino and limited to my Apple AirPods for playback.......
Actually I'm wrong I have some B&W P30s in a bag somewhere.....the AirPods may be a bit naff but they are so convenient and don't cause cord accidents!

Bentley Caldwell - The Place That I Call Home.
Arrived today, now ripped and streaming, and sounding just fine, regardless of the fact that The River say that "this product is
manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media."
A great album, which seems to be catching on with forum users here ......................... recommended.
Dave, I am still waiting for my 'CD-R' copy of this from the river. I was planning to return it and buy from another source which is not a CD-R copy, but as you say the SQ is fine I may keep it. I assume your ripped CD-R of this sounds better than Tidal?
There are no copies available that aren't cd-r's Nigel. I tend to buy extra copies of albums I like so I got an extra copy of the above from the river and also fish. Both are cd-r's. The river version came in a jewel case and the fish version came in a fold out cheap cd card wallet. You know the ones where you have to pull hard to get the disc out and hope it doesn't get scratched to hell.
One thing that bugs me though is why don't they use high quality cd media such as Taiyo Yuden cd- r discs instead of the cheapest rubbish they can buy in bulk
Ah, OK, thanks for the info Ewen. At least the river declare they are CD-R copies, as long as you look hard enough when you order. It actually turned up today from the US in a jewel case as you mention.
I'd hate anyone to miss this - if you're unaware he is on tour NOW in the UK:

Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street.
Mentioned by STEVEE_S the other day, now playing here ................... my, but Gerry could write a cool choon, sadly missed.
Picked this up in Fopp many years ago for buttons and recently had the pleasure of meeting his cover artist - the legend that is John Byrne (...another one of your cream amphoras and a large ouzo for Miss Toner!).
Great stuff.

The podcast about Baker Street (in the Soul Music series) is very interesting:
As I listened a lot to him and tested in the past my old system on his money dick, fitting under this section. The just erected memorial for John Bonham.....
