More retro electo for me.

Joe Boyd And Robyn Hitchcock: Tiny Desk Concert

http://www.npr.org/2011/07/08/...ck-tiny-desk-concert 

In this Tiny Desk Concert — as much a reading as a concert — Boyd tells tales about Barrett, one of the 1960s' first casualties, and of Nick Drake, the shy genius of new British folk at the turn of the decade. In the end, you'll get a brief slice of Joe Boyd's early encounters, a life in music that only began there and continued long after. If you want some good summer music reading, be sure to soak up this taste of White Bicycles.

Recordings dates are various from 1967 ~ 1972. Lukaskirche, Dresden.

Walter Olbertz frequently plays the slower passages with a light touch of delicacy in the way I find so desirable, the faster pace works are neat enough to fascinate over, imho : )

If this was really recorded in a 'church' then it must have been well equipped with some state of the art studio enabling sound absorption, and top draw recording technology with some handy expert sound engineers.

Even stranger is the recording dates that are split up on many different sessions spanning a period of 5 years (i couldn't be bothered to write them all up) but the sound engineering is so consistently good one could think this was all recorded in one go, and so fresh it may as well of been recorded last week.

Digitally remastered to perfection in 1996, okay perhaps with a hint of analogue master tape brightness but i'm not complaining about that.

Presently available via Amazon uk (other sellers) new £2.90 for a 3 x CD box-set.

From last night...

Ben Harper - Will To Live

 Kate Bush - The Dreaming     On Vinyl

 Tracy Chapman. Still think this is a stunning Album. As fresh as the day I first heard it and still on the original Vinyl 

The late great Chris Jones.

This is a wonderful album and a great recording .

As all CDs and Vinyl are on this German label.

Debs,

Notice you regularly return to this album, you must be on to a good thing. Haydn's sonatas are played often enough but so many performers seem to lack the imagination to make them sound more than just superficial. Brendel, on a modern grand of course, is my own favorite.

Cheers,

EJ

On the Original 1967 Black mono.

On CD:-

This classic black stuff.Not alot can be said about this album ?

Thats not already been said over the last nearly 40 years since it was released.

The music stands the test of time and space and still sounds as good as the day it came out.

Steve Forbert's debut album from 1978.

Some good tunes followed, but none to better this IMO.
