What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)

(1969)

Savoy Brown - Looking In

Some early'ish British blues-rock nicely executed by these boys to kick off the evening.

Thanks Stephen, that's a good reminder to get this lovely, well recorded album out for a play. 

Following Jeroen's lead. Miles Davis, Seven Steps box set, disc 5.

Playing on Vinyl on Chess Records 1958 - Great Blues from Elmore  James and John Brim

In 24/96 on Blu-ray.

A funny album this, it's by no means as bad as A Momentary Lapse of Reason or Delicate Sound of Thunder, but it's no Animals, is it? This collection of Division Bell cast-offs and offcuts (which, if nothing else, proves that Polly Sampson is no replacement for Roger Waters) is an odd, and slightly sad, way for the group to bow out. The cover's really naff as well.

Great SQ though.

(2013)

The Hoax - Big City Blues

This one is getting yet another outing, a fine rocking British blues band who sadly seem to have hung up their instruments and gone their separate ways... 

Keith Jarrett - Staircase

Solo work from Keith Jarrett.

Agreed. It's not a bad album but rather Division Bell second XI. Not one of my go-to Floyd albums.

I rarely play any Rush so I thought I'd give this a listen.

Playing on Vinyl on Antar Records - Vol 2 of Texas Flashbacks - A compilation of Texan Psychedelic garage bands from the 1960's and from Texas

Older s/h vinyl

Why? I saw the lad mentioned earlier and thought "That's a thought"

Nice album is that. Simply Red seem to have become a bit of an under-rated band. 

Nothing epitomises the music scene in the early 90’s quite like this album from the elusive KLF,  ripped this last night from an original cd, havent heard it in yonks and it brings be straight back, still holds up 28 years later, virtually impossible to get now and they’re not available on streaming services either. 

Now Playing.......

Mark Turner Quartet- Lathe of Heaven

Mark Turner  (tenor saxophone), Avishai Cohen  (trumpet), Joe Martin  (double bass) and Marcus Gilmore  (drums).

Streaming on TIDAL.......... Kicking off the afternoon with a little jazz and enjoy Mark's sax and Avi's trumpet play, a very nice album!

2018 - Double CD courtesy of my local supermarket for a fiver. 

Released a couple of months ago. Put together by Graham himself and some other bloke. Sounded  good in the car on the way home but sounding much better on the main system now.

 

 

 

 

Which supermarket chain?

Wouldn’t claim to be his greatest fan, but I’d take that for a fiver.

Sainbury’s, Suzy. Not available at Fortnum & Masons as yet.

And duly acquired! A good spot Tony. thanks!

And while I was picking up the above,  next to it on the rack, for the princely sum of £3 (and giving club card points) was the album that I’m currently playing ( on the ‘cough’ Scottish triamp system*) the eponymous 

                 Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young  - Deja Vu!

*Yes, I am ashamed!

Now enjoying some Roxy.  I seem to go for Siren because I love the opening song, Love is a Drug.  Sentimental fool is also one of my favourite Roxy numbers.

“More than any pop band in history, the KLF ripped off the music industry for a bucketful of loot and got away with it -- as illustrated in their own guidebook to creating number one singles, The Manual. Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty applied the tactics of punk shock-terrorism to late-'80s acid house and became one of Britain's best-selling artists (recording also as the JAMS and the Timelords) just before their retirement in 1992. The duo then deleted their entire back catalog -- a potential loss in the millions of pounds -- and declared they wouldn't release another record until peace was declared throughout the world.”

Quotation lifted from Spotify. I guess at least they had courage of their convictions in foregoing a considerable amount of sales and royalties. Not to my taste, but then I did find most of the 90s a musical desert.

On Blu-ray in 24/96, from this deluxe set. A couple of good tracks and of course the guitar playing is just magical but after three years, I'm still finding it hard to warm to this album.

Van Morrison - Moondance, playing the second disc of the Expanded edition which consists of outtakes and alternative versions .Its different,enough to warrant numerous plays.

Unfortunately I have to agree, I've given it a number of goes but it just doesn't hit the spot.
