2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
On vinyl.
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970). On remastered/remixed CD from 2000. John's liberation from The Beatles. Unbridled music spoken from the gut. Simple and brilliant.

(2011)
Easy on the ears upbeat post rock, a pleasant way to start the day.

Some soulful singing from one of the UK's best .............. just the thing as the Chrissy tree and decs come down for another year.

Slightly spooky, this one's on here at the mo', as the last of the Chrissy decs come down.
Fleetwood Mac - Tango in the Night .............. again, great SQ.
Free - All Right Now - The Best of Free.
Something a little heavier to finish off the Christmas tree for another 12 months.
Mr. Twin Sister - "Mr. Twin Sister" (2014)
"So this is the world. Earth and the rest of the galaxy knows it. The have nots being chased by the haves into a whole bunch of bullshit "...
1970 - Vinyl - U.K. First pressing...
Ray LaMontagne - "Supernova" (2014)
Propa oldschool.
Otis Redding - Dictionary of Soul.
There's lots of blue eyed soul boys around these days............but no one even comes close to the undisputed master, IMHO.
Amos Lee - "Spirit" (2016)

Terry Callier - What color is love - Vinyl: why latest purchase, giving a second spin !!!
Prompted by Mr Marshall's posts of yesterday. CD rip.
I remember vividly hearing "Cherry Oh Baby" thumping out from enormous ceiling mounted Bose speakers in a Newcastle Virgin store "back in the day" and initially not believing it could be a British reggae band as it had such a deep bass and drum hit. How wrong I was ...

Similarly, when working in London in the late 70's, I used to frequent a night club south of the River, where ska and reggae was the music of choice.
It wasn't until The Beat appeared on TOTP, doing "Mirror in the Bathroom", that the penny dropped, and that this was a home grown band, whose album was featured, in it's entirety, each week.
Rush to record shop, buy immediately ..........and, know what? ............it STILL sounds great! 
Oh well, why not?
The Beat - I Just Can't Stop It .............. erm ..................LOUD!
