Playing on Cassette on Maxell ULS -C60  - Depeche Modes debut album from 1981......give it a couple of albums and the darkside would be creeping in

A bit of Sly & The Family Stone (and why not?).  This is the 2007 CD version of There's A Riot Goin' On, their chaotic masterpiece from '71, with bonus tracks.

Another one of the '07 Sly CDs. Not as good as what came later, but still fun.

Oooh. That was my first Hendrix album. Used to play it on my Dansette getting very close to the speaker, especially for Purple Haze and The Wind Cries Mary.  Happy days.

Playing on original vinyl. I was planning to get my amp turned off and the Fraim removed to the level of the amp in plenty of time before it was collected by my dealer, but one album followed another and I missed the doorbell when he arrived because SRV was playing at a fairly realistic level and was sounding so good. This is a terrific album, but everyone on here already knows that!

Michael Jackson's Bad (can't post an image as imgur is playing up)

Was prompted to play this by a post by Richieroo on the 'ND555 impressions' thread  earlier today where he included a u-tube link to an interview by Michael Fremer in which Fremer talks about his appearance as an expert witness in a court case. He uses this album to illustrate to a jury the effects of good and bad mastering.
