Willy De Ville R.I.P.

R.I.P.

The Mark Knopfler produced album Miracle is one of my fav LP's. Fabulous playing by Mark and some wondeful New Orleans street romanticism singing style from Willy.

Always liked the Mink DV stuff, but I most remember Touraj M. playing Miracle on the then new Roksan TMS - fantastic sound, one of the best I've ever heard at a hifi show. Love that LP.

This is good:

Rupert,

Excellent article and review of 'Le Chat Bleu', which looks hard to get.

I bought my 'Miracle' LP at the Bristol hi-fi show many years ago and it's a Canadian Pressing - Polydor 833 669-1. As you say, it sounds great.
