Not so impressed by this one, a bit tame..
Playing on Cassette on Maxell UL - S C60 - Really good Kinks album from 1966
(1980)
Linda Ronstadt's Greatest Hits Vol.2 that covers tracks from a wide range of artists, surprisingly well recorded with great dynamic range.
I've got a few Madonna albums but this has always been my favourite. I get the sense that she put a great deal of care and time in creating it.
Playing on Cassette on TDK SA C90 - Some Live Jethro Tull from 1978 to end the working day
