What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

This used to be in heavy rotation, but has been sidelined while exploring new genres and artists. Always an enjoyable listen if you like folk/Americana. Covers with numerous guest artists.
On CD:-
Enjoying this with a glass of Laphoaig -
I've been a Bill Evans fan for many years and have had his complete Riverside recording on CD since the mid '90's . It a wonderful collection with the Scott La Faro trio tracks the highlight. I would love to get the Analogue Production set on 45 RPM but at £500 it's not going to happen!
The above disc arrived today, the Analogue Production's CD/SACD version. The intensity is sublime even breathtaking. Without doubt, Jazz Trio playing at its finest (IMO!)

Great album - one of my regular late night listens. Evans is probably my favourite jazz pianist.

Best debut album ever.
On vinyl.
I sneaked a quick listen to that the other day Howard. Not aged well, has it?
Easily the Floyd's worst album. The lyrics are excruciating...
Was eating pizza in Brixton on Saturday, fantastic Italian place located in the market!
Karl
Franco Manca Karl? Ace pizza - although I notice they're opening new branches. I hope this will not mean a dimininution in quality.
Heard a track from this on the radio this morning and realised I hadn't played it in ages.
Original Vinyl 1980 Island Records.
On Spotify:-
Super supper.

Yes, sounds like the place. No. 1 son lives and works in the Big Smoke and eats there, so we made a bee-line to there from the V&A on his recommendation. Never seen so much fresh fish in the market since my days in Leicester!

Good album but 'Talking Back To The Night' is one better imo.
Karl
Roll with it!
Best debut album ever.
On vinyl.
Yes.
And this is possibly the best follow-up ever.

For anyone who does not know John Hiatt's music this is a good place to start IMO
CD (1988) - Original recording remastered.
All the talk on the Beatles Remastered Vinyl thread got me going. This is a very good sounding CD.
Best debut album ever.
On vinyl.
Yes.
And this is possibly the best follow-up ever.
Jono

Vinyl.
Ragged but brilliant.
