Adrian,

Thought I was nearly there, but discovered a few more that I have not got yet (see below).

From Gargarin's point of view arrived last week, so been OD'ing on EST. Good stuff though.

I'm still inclined towards Tuesday Wonderland being my favourite.

Nic - which ones are you missing? Have you got From Gagarins Point of View? - my favourite. Great to see you going for the complete set.[/QUOTE

There are a lot more than I thought there were - more for the shopping list.

You lucky man - sounds like a perfect evening. Enjoy. I'll have to wait until Monday at work to play this for the first time

Adrian, not at work please - dark room, bottle of wine and this time no prozac required.

Sublime! I'm saving disc 2 for Sunday. In the meantime I just had to spin this true gem...

You will enjoy it - disc 2 is even better than disc 1 IMHO.

Annie Lennox on BBC1

As requested. Munch, 'You're old'.

Still wish I were old enough to have been at Earls Court on 25th May 1975!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next thing you'll tell me you were at Hammersmith Odeon on 10 June 1976 (Genesis with Bill Bruford on drums).

I was going to ask Adrian how large his filing room was..

Concerto No 5, an LP, part of a box set recorded in 1973.

When it comes to the ECM New Series most likely pretty large.

Oliver,

I know for a fact that Adrian keeps quite a few regular ECMs as well in his filing hall. We are having snow here tonight, I bet you are not.

Haim

Genesis 'Hammersmith Odeon' 10 June 1976, Pre-FM/soundboard.

Now gents, the filing has a fair few but overall not too large - maybe some of them I will eventually like!! Some of the ECM New Series are challenging, but more often wonderful. The most difficult ECM New Series I ever bought was this one.

Here is a description of the album - it consists of readings of poems by TS Eliot and Giorgos Seferis, among which fragments of music arise mysteriously and then fade away. The poems have all been translated into German, and are read with tremendous muted power by the actor Bruno Ganz.

Hmmn. A little difficult for me to understand and appreciate but for MilesSmiles and Stefan well maybe they could enjoy it being German.

Haim - yes the Stefano Battaglia albums are on the filing shelf!!

Dean...

Dean

This was a great album at the time but there are better albums in the catalogue that have stood the test of time.

Please try

Darkness on the Edge of Town
Born to Run

and then maybe move onto

The River
The Wild, The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle

I will give this a spin as well. I am going to be playing a lot of Andy Sheppard over the next few weeks.

Well work can be pretty gloomy these days I will try and hold out until I get home in front of the system
