On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Very Nice Dub album by Prince Far I - Playing on Cassette TDK AD -X C90
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-3553799-1516931318-1382.jpeg.jpg)
Just now found this in the garage. A sealed freebe cd from Mojo 2012 amongst a big bag full of sandpaper ?
(1981)
Hall & Oates - Private Eyes
Some very good soft rock tunes on here in their trademark and unmistakeable 'bouncy' H & A style, was it really 37 years ago sheesh?!
La Sera - "Hour Of The Dawn" (2014) another first listen
Mark Knopfler
Sailing To Philadelphia - 24/48
Edward
Mandy Moore - "Wild Hope" (2007) a very decent pop album, many of the songs are co-writes by Mandy and Steve & Deb of The Weepies
On vinyl...
Def Leppard
Hysteria - CD Rip
Def Leppard at their absolute best.
Edward
Released 2004 - Stunning album populated with great songs. ????
My first 'hogs album. Split quickly followed.
(1993)
Dary Hall - Soul Alone
I have to give this fine solo album a listen after Hall and Oates. Lovely blue eyed soul that was musically well backed up and nicely produced.

Love those early 'hogs albums, Mike. Split was transformational for me!
On vinyl...
Now Playing........
Boz Scaggs - Middle Man
Streaming on TIDAL.......... Continuing on with some more Boz, Jo Jo has a nice opening beat to keep up the spirits this late Monday morning heading to the noon hour......
Stephen Stills and Judy Collins - "Stills & Collins" (2017)
(2004)
This is the hot 'n hard version of the original album, basically the dynamic range has been cranked up to make it all sound harder hitting and louder, it works extremely well on what was already a very good album released twenty years earlier doing takes on the LZ stuff.
Pink Floyd
The Division Bell - 24/96

Thanks Minh for posting this earlier - you have inspired me to give it a spin tonight - Nigel certainly adds his own flavour to the piece,haven't played this version in a while and really enjoying
Vinyl released 1978 - Panned by the critics ???? but I'm a Stills fan so it's great. ????

Yep, the "red cover" version is the one to have, though I was listening quite happily to the "brown cover" one for years until this one was released.
As you rightly say, it simply improved on what was already a great album ............. oh, and the DVD ain't 'arf bad either.
