2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Was talking to someone about this album last night so decided to pull it out and give it a play after many, many years. Turns out it's a good 'un! Original UK Polydor vinyl:

Their first album.
Do you have the originsl Music Factory release then Stevee? If so, wow!
Unfortunately not Kevin! I prefer this art work and shamelessly posted it here. 
This masterpiece of an album from 1992.. 
2013 MoFi vinyl re-master exceptional, both in sound and pressing quality.
A bit of cosmic Fela from '74 on vinyl to warm me up before heading out into the snow to see my beloved Irons play the Baggies at the Bradydome...
Feel the Love.
1992 UK Stax 12-track vinyl LP, the second part of an incredible live performance recorded across three nights in LA in April, 1966.
on CD. Berlin School type electronica from 1995. Seemed appropriate given the weather today.
A + | WAV
(1974)
Some good old rock before the football kicks off, this was their fine debut.
Pain Of Salvation, In The Passing Light Of Day, WAV CD Rip.
Nice and Loud.
I tried to listen to this last night with headphones on but really wanted the Volume/Feeling of the Naim kit.
Vinyl. Super.
Spinning it for the third time this morning: a delicious Mono K2 mastering of the original recording on a Japanese label:

Their eponymous debut in March last year, wonderful late sixties, west coast sounding psyche rock. As ever, many thanks to Bruce for bringing it to the forum's attention.
One of my guilty pleasures.
B52s: Cosmic Thing. CD rip. Still sounds fresh and lively after all these years, although the CD sound quality isn't that inspiring - thankfully the music is.
