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:

I saw them a couple of times around that time too; once in Exeter and once in Plymouth although I never saw Roger Chapman in the bar afterwards!

Hi Richard. I love this band. First saw them at the Matlock Opera House in 1969, along with the Edgar Broughton Band amongst others who I cannot remember, other than John Peel was the DJ. My original copy of Music In. Dolls House which I bought the weekend after is well played and well loved Its one of my favourite albums of all time, for all sorts of reasons and memories I would be interested what tracks are on the album.
Regards. Graham.

Vinyl from the new box set:-
I assume this is the MFSL CD. I've had the LP equivalent on back order for about 10 months now.
Sound OK?

I like it, very natural clean and clear sounding disc, only thing it has a fair amount of hiss.
Between the sheer force and potent lyricism of his guitar playing, the riveting depth of his songwriting and the straight-from-the-soul conviction of his vocals, New Orleans’ Anders Osborne is among the most original and visionary musicians writing and performing today.
Music on Vinyl ... I hope they do all the rest of these as this is quite superb and it is not by any means the best of the Jefferson Airplane (there is a MoV Surrealistic Pillow).

I have a copy it has a different track listing to my original Mono copy! which does not have Plastic Fantastic Love, White Rabbit or She Has Funny Cars. on it!
My first Mozart Piano Quartets.
Once again, impressive Philips early digital recording. This recording blows away some of Speakers Corner's classical reissues.

My first actual listen to this album tonight.
But after i've played Hard Days Night
which is my first time ever listen to too : )

I found this youtube a couple of months ago and intended to start a thread on it - I might still!
I have no idea who are the performers, but this is a great work of art by any means!

ATB from George
George,
Who's your favourite Quintets for this tune?
I dont quite undertand these *highbrow* chamber works where Mozart does his best sweetness and light.
Equally puzzling:

And what did you think Debs?
BFS isn't their strongest record, but HDN is an amazing one - comprised completely of Lennon/Macca originals (very unusual for 1964). The first side particularly of unbelievably high quality - every song could have been a No.1.

Funnily enough he is one artist I never really took to Gordon. Though a bit of info for Stu re Clarence Bucaro who is currently working on his next album with Anders in the production chair.
Maybe I need to go back and revisit his albums.

Quite a few tracks i've not heard before, but certainly nothing here to dislike imo.
In fact many of the lesser known songs are fabulously enjoyable, some of which i've not heard for over 20 years since selling my rather wonderful 'From Liverpool' 8xLP box-set which had a lot of the lesser known material albeit in a strange track order compilation which meant one never got to know the actual albums they came from, if you know wot i mean ; )
BFS has a couple of my favourites... I'll Follow The Sun, and Mr. Moonlight
Played each side of both albums twice with volume and i had a great time listening!
So far i've opened, played, and enjoyed about half of this box-set and have had no problems with surface noise, warping, and only a tiny bit of static [which i could get rid of with the RCM if i weren't so lazy]
And like i said before, it does come across sounding digital but at least it's top drawer classy digital, we all knew before-hand this set was another remaster so with that in mind it could be said we got the best result we could have hoped for : )

I really like this album...
