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:
Indie Cindy on vinyl
Lee Morgan & Clifford Brown - Live in Baltimore 1968

Playing on Vinyl - Good fun debut by New Yorkers The Fun loving Criminals
Russell Malone - Wholly cats
I think this is my favorite Russell Malone album. His playing is very strong on this albums as is that of Larry Willis (piano). This album also contains a blues original of Russell Malone with just guitar and bass which works out very well.
- Bass – Rodney Whittaker
- Drums – Yoron Israel
- Electric Guitar – Russell Malone
- Piano – Larry Willis
Finishing my run through S&G with their last studio album.
I've had a few thoughts during my excursion, perhaps a full S&G thread is merited.

Why? I would not by any means call myself a Genesis fan but recent mention of them made me dig this out of the collection for curiosity's sake.

I would almost go so far as saying that this is my favourite Genesis album. It does contain the famous bass pedal solo from Michael Rutherford, after all.
I have the original vinyl of this recording and is one I will never part with as I attended the original gig when the recording was made. It was at Manchester Free Trade Hall in Feb 1973. The band were all dressed in white apart from PG so only he stood out against the white backdrop. I suspected at the time that it might be being recorded as I could see a mike suspended centre stage and the volume was much quieter than normal concerts at the venue. Great night. Great memories. Incidentally the Free Trade Hall is now a luxury hotel!
AC/DC
Highway To Hell - CD Rip

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet (2007). Brand new vinyl. I have had a digital copy for a long time. This is one of their best along with Deadwing.

I spotted this in the used store today, but i could not remember which one was talked about here. I picked up Wind and Wuthering instead. Next time back I'll see if the Live album is still there.
Joe Wilder - Such a beautiful sound
Joe Wilder is not a very well known trumpet player. As the title of this album suggest, he has a very nice tone. Recorded between 1954 and 1956.
Joe Wilder (trumpet): Hank Jones (piano): Wendell Marshall (bass): Kenny Clarke (drums), recorded November 1955 (tracks 1-8)
Pete Brown Sextet: Joe Wilder (trumpet): Pete Brown (alto sax): Wade Legge (piano): Wally Richardson (guitar): Gene Ramey (bass): Rudy Collins (drums), recorded November 1954 (tracks 9-15)
Vinyl released 1971 - Getting in the mood for tomorrow nights gig at the Philharmonic Liverpool. Great debut album. ????
And what a rhythm section!
Queen
Queen Forever - CD Rip
Edward
There wasn’t many groups who had hits in 1979 still on a hit run by 1996/7.
One of rock’s most iconic female voices.

They found the lost tapes,
down the back of the sofa? : )
Debs
Van Morrison - Avalon Sunset, beautiful music with excellent use of orchestration on some tracks.
Double vinyl released 2014 - Formed by Jocie Adams formerly of The Low Anthem. This self-titled debut album is nearly impossible to categorize, folk traditions, country, rock, classical, cabaret, and jazz makes it a fine listen. 8)
Billie Holiday - Songs For Distingue Lovers.
Getting my Tracey Thorn fix for tonight.
Herb Alpert - The Essential, I bought it mainly for the later stuff such as "Rise" but its all good fun
1st partial run...
