2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
1982 - Tidal...
Glassworks.

Had this for awhile and only just managing to play it now.

Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You.
Soul Train still running here ............. what a voice!
Still the only woman who can give me chills down my spine on hearing her voice.
Thanks Dave for giving me the idea of what to play next.
2015 - Tidal...
Marika Hackman / We Slept At Last

HH, There is not a single dud track on this album. Great album. Another favourite is Night and Day. Saw him live last year performing his most recent album Fast Forward, which is pretty good. My favourite live gig of his was during the Jumping Jive tour, an absolute cracker.

This is a unique concept in jazz. Pianist Steve Kuhn recorded two CD's with the same drummer, but a different bassist. On "Waltz Red Side" we have the great Eddie Gomez and on the "Waltz Blue Side" it is Gary Peacock. The two albums share nine identical tracks and vary with one. I ended up buying the blue side without knowing of the red which probably would have been my first choice since I already have so many recordings of Peacock with Keith Jarrett's trio.

Another $5 Big Lots purchase (brand new)

Nice grab DrMark. I picked that up at Walmart for the same price a year or so ago. I'll have to check out Big Lots. There is one near me but I've never been in. Had no idea they sold CDs (or for that matter what the hell they sell).
John Lennon. Rock 'n' Roll (1975). On remastered/remixed CD from 2004. John puts a spin on some influential tracks from his teens. A highly energetic album and I've always loved the cover shot which includes (from left to right) the blurred figures of George, Stu, and Paul while John looks so cool as a greaser.

Along with Walls and Bridges this is my favourite post-Beatles album from John Lennon. An example where (some of) the cover versions are better than the originals IMO.

Another via the new Tidal Masters facility streaming at 24/96, very enjoyable I must say 
this one being the 1992 Joe Gastwirt remaster.
Just bought his new EP
It's from Black Hill, the post of the picture does again not work - Photobucket -

Another of the Tidal Hi-Res 24/96 albums available to stream. Lovely.

Different stores have different selections - it is generally a small rack but I have found a few gems....and also found ones I already have at a price lower than what L paid!
One word of warning: they have a series (e.g., a Turtles CD, but there are others) which is the current "old man" version of the band performing live - this may or may not be something you want.. Just informing so you don't get something other than what you thought you were getting. (IIRC it is called the "Extended Versions" series - I ended up with the Zombies from this, which I then realized what it was that I bought. But for $5 it wasn't a tragedy.)
