debs, can you say a little more about this record, please

enjoy

Vinyl quality is superb! [2 x LP]

If you’re not familiar with Esperanza Spalding, buy the Chamber Music Society album first.

Radio Music Society maybe a bit too pop for jazz fans and far too jazzy for young pop fans,

but imo it's still very enjoyable, and quite classy music.

Can you have a free listen on Spotify? : )

I bought Dylan's Tell Tale Signs when it first came out, I had 3 crisp $100s from helping mom for 4 days, heading home to LA I vered up the 101 to the heart of the Emerald city and Amoeba music. Bought a basket of used ones and had picked up the Dylan and put it down twice. Heading out I grabbed it. All total, the cashier I'd had fun talking with, said the stash was $295. He saw the money in my hands and the frantic look in my face, so he said, "AND you get the stickers, AND the tote bag, black or white?" Made me feel like i'd won something. Dylan was first on the TT, whiskey in hand I never felt the pain. I've never been able to play part of it, I go for all 4 albums in sequence.

I was rather hoping my copy of Squacket would have turned up today, but the PO had other ideas :-(

Looks like you have a busy weekend ahead of you, a fun one with it.

The already classic Sleepy Building album on double 180 gram vinyl! Released in 2009 on Kankana Records and not available in their webshop for a while. They found some copies in their vault.

Opeth : Heritage- which has a lot of hiss on it for a new pressing Which is a shame as it does eat into the quiet intro parts of the songs. Otherwise it does sound good.

Also picked up Yes Close tothe Edge and Crteam goodbye which are in the post and the Mettalica S&M album, again in the post
