Wishbone Ash

Same year, more great music and vibes this time with Wishbone Ash doing their twin lead guitar attack thing to great effect on their eponymous debut album.

Great songs played wonderfully by the Kinks, the audience are wild. Excellent SQ again from the 2017 Mono box set. I saw Tabby playing it on cassette earlier.

Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges - Side by Side

I was just looking to see about buying the album with Coleman Hawkins which I see is being rereleased along with a number of other of the Duke's albums. Does anyone know why? They certainly don't need remastering.

Listening to the "main" or "core" album from this set, on vinyl. They have done a really good job on it, I think.

It certainly is a very, very good job on the CD which is now near the original vinyl.

Paul McCartney : All the Best Original vinyl

'Certified wobbly' by a postgrad friend of mine at point of issue, this album retains a tie beyond the usual 'best of' in the same way that Queen's Greatest Hits has a certain synergy beyond the sum of its parts.

And sounding sensational without Torlyte...
