What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Part one of the Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy.
Latest purchases arrived and ripped - starting with this tonight.
Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence
Yello - Flag.
Playing the extended version of "The Race" right now ..........does it really get any better than this? 
On CD:-
Thin Lizzy - The Very Best Of.
Sometimes you just have to abandon the quest, and just play the familiar stuff that you know to be good.
LOUD .......awfully!
Yello - Flag.

AC / DC - The Razor's Edge.
Carrying on from my last post, isn't "Thunderstruck " the track that we all turn the volume up several notches?
Or is that just me?
Rock on. 
1967
As whim would have it, I had a yen to hear Arthur Conley's Sweet Soul Music. So off it tapped to my singles folders, where several years ago I digitised my favourite singles from across the years, each folder by year. So after playing Arthur, I tapped out a short playlist for the evening from 1967, eschewing the biggies on the whole but generally wallowing in being 14 or 15 again, so excuse the indulgence...
Arthur Conley - Sweet Soul Music
Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young
Nashville Teens - Biggest Night Of Her Life
Diana Ross & The Supremes - Reflections
Lovin' Spoonful - She's Still A Mystery
Eric Burdon & The Animals - San Franciscan Nights
The Who - Pictures Of Lily
Virgin Sleep - Love
The Hollies - King Midas In Reverse
Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense And Peppermints
The Happenings - I Got Rhythm (very Four Seasons)
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Honey Chile
Gary Lewis & The Playboys - Girls In Love
Brenton Wood - Gimme Little Sign
Simon & Garfunkel - Fakin' It
John Fred & His Playboy Band - Agnes English
The Nice - The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack
Linda Ronstadt - Different Drum (wonderful Mike Nesmith song...and no wonder Philip Dick fell under her spell)
The Easybeats - The Music Goes Round My Head (the fast version, from a Spanish 45)
Ah, the joys of streaming. It took me about six months to rip the best of my singles on a Pioneer CDR machine, painfully getting levels and cueing, just like the old cassette days, little suspecting I would be able to stream most of these ten years later without the hassle. 
Bad Company. Run With The Pack. On original vinyl from 1976. The band's third album. All these years later I still think their debut album was their best.
The Band. Stage Fright. On original lime green label Capitol vinyl from 1970, Bob Ludwig master. The Band had a simple funky groove. Easy to relax to while at the same time gets the toe tapping.
The Band. Eponymous second album from 1969. Another lime green original issue LP. These early Band album had pretty heavily compressed bass for their time.
During my workout, one of the good old ones...
