I was listening to this earlier via Tidal.

Fantastic voice and for me there isn't a bad track on the album.

Dave, did you manage to buy a copy from the UK? I'm struggling to find the CD.

ATB,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes I ordered it on Amazon, from one of their third party sellers .............. at just over six squid, and brand new.

It's available via The River, but at a higher price.

A bit early in the day for The Smiths for me - it’s Bach here. Have you bought the three CD remaster of The Queen is Dead? It’s really excellent. 

No, I only have The Queen is Dead on vinyl, but I am sorely tempted to get the three CD remaster.

It seems there are quite a few Zeppelin fans on this forum.  I'm not a big fan but I do have a couple of their well known albums on vinyl.  I also have this Remasters compilation on CD and thought I would give it a spin after seeing a podcast ( or something similar) on the internet in praise of the drumming of John Bonham.

What's Going On

Late evening listening here in Beijing. Mercy, mercy me, where did all the blue skies go.

Moved on to this from the Complete Duets (Marvin Gaye + Tammi Terrell)...24.........

All that remains is to finish off the wine, take the dog out for a quick walk, end of another day.
