Includes Cavatina (from the film "The Deer Hunter") which I have always liked.

That good eh Stu
Going to try that other one on vinyl as its in the sale.
I seem to remember the ones you played being hard work.

This is just great.

Stu the 2 tracks we played that night are on that bit of vinyl you are playing now. Sounds best loud

I do not want to discourage you getting the Leucocyte album. I just want to warn you that you will have to work a lot harder to like it.

Of course, you can get the CD's of their catalogue and start hearing their masterpieces in their full glory.

Mike Harrison - Late Starter

In 2006 Spooky Tooth's Mike Harrison created a wonderful set of blues favourites. The analogue recording really comes through on this excellent production for CD. Songs covered are by Frankie Miller, Etta James and Ray Charles.

MilesSmiles introduced me to this album a few years ago and it is wonderful. Before then all I knew of Jennifer Warnes was her duet with Joe Cocker Up Where We Belong. Famous Blue Raincoat is class though playing the songs of Leonard Cohen. I will make a point of playing my vinyl copy as I have no yet tried it out on my TT.

I can also recommend the new vinyl pressing of her album The Hunter.

Contains one of my altime favorite tunes from my teenage years, Aleem - Release Yourself.
