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:

On Original Vinyl.
This is simply the best Drifters collection ever in my opinion, original recordings of great sing along tunes, On Broadway, Up on the Roof etc. fantastic, buy this if you are a Drifters fan and buy it if your not, it will grow on you.

It sure is!! I have been a Drifters fan for over 45 years!

First play on CD and my expectations of magic dust to have been sprinkled by Ethan & Glyn Johns has been surpassed. I already owned the Mexico & Motherload EP's and their simple acoustic recordings captured the girls wonderfully. The musicianship brought by Ethan & friends has raised the bar considerablly.The extra instrumentation has underpinned the exceptional voices that possesses the talented Staveley-Taylor sisters. This has every chance of being my album of the year

Ram [Mono] [VINYL] [Limited Edition]
I seem to be on a bit of a Beatles theme lately. However this is my favourite McCartney album and should not be compared to Beatles albums, because it is not the Beatles! This is a raw sounding solo album that represented Paul’s life at the time and IMO it’s beautiful.

Love that record.
Last time I saw her live was with Charles LLoyd, getting overwhelmed by his sax and the drums. This is much better.

With all the talk on the Beatles Top 3 albums thread, regarding Let It Be. Decided to give it a spin. It might not be in most peoples top three, but it is still a good album IMO.
