Running on Empty - CD Rip
First time ever listening to this album, absolutely brilliant, music, recording and mastering.
I have one other album from this artist “Standing In The Breachust “ must get more from this artist.

Edward, as you are enjoying this one I would suggest that you get hies four earlier albums from 1972 - 1976 which are fabulous. Perhaps Hold Out (1980) might be another to go for. ATB. Steve

(1982)
Daryl Hall & John Oates
I do like a bit of Hall & Oates from time to time and this was a bit of a cracker, nicely breathed on by MoFi in 2013.
Mofi could hardly do wrong here as the original was one of the best engineered albums of the time. The original LP was mixed by Hugh Padgham and mastered and cut at Masterdisk by Bob Ludwig. I dug out my old LP a few weeks back and it sounded so alive. I'd forgotten just how stunning the sound was on this one.

Thank you for the recommendations, I should hopefully be back in Glasgow at the weekend (if I don’t end up in hospital again) will give HMV and Fopp as well as the second hand shops a visit and seek out the albums you have recommended.
Edward
Prince - The Beautiful Experience, an EP that is basically 7 different mixes /variations of "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World"
Jackson Browne
For Everyman - Tidal HiFi
Another great album.
Edward
Playing on Vinyl on China Records - American Rock from Green on Red from 1987
Prince - The Rainbow Children, an album from 2001 in a jazzy vein.We find The Artist reverting back to his Prince moniker and musing on his recent conversation to a different religion. I can't believe its 17 years old 
2015 - Vinyl - US pressing...
Billy Joel
The Stranger - Tidal HiFi
Edward
Now Playing.......
Meg Baird - Don't Weigh Down The Light
Streaming on TIDAL......... going with the mention from TONY2011 above and taking Meg out for a spin, sweet voice and guitar, perfect for this Tuesday afternoon!

Edward,
Amazon, Discogs and eBay are also great ways to buy old albums online but I'm sure you already knew that.
I would go with the titles Steve is suggesting as IMHO he lost something in his writing and production after Hold Out.
Nils Lofgren.

Don't think he bettered this album in his solo career. Saw him on the tour promoting the album. His brother was in the band with him.

Try and get the earliest masterings of the albums Steve mentioned as when they were re-released they were also remixed and had reverb added.
Todays listening and last for tonight.
Sound Iration - In Dub.
It's late, and this is the perfect album to end the day ............. much heavy dubness 'appenin' y' know ................. 
Now Playing........
Ry Cooder - The Prodigal Son
Streaming on TIDAL....... Enjoying some music from Ry this Tuesday afternoon, sounding sweet on this hot and hazy (smoke filled skies) Tuesday Afternoon. Western Canada & US on fire and looking out the window in Seattle is like looking into a fog bank at times.
