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;
Foghat. Energized. On the original Bearsville vinyl from 1974. As far as Foghat albums go it's no 'Fool For The City', but the band could jam.
Foghat. Fool For The City (1975). On MFSL vinyl from 2008. The MFSL is a nice improvement over the original vinyl, notably for a wider soundstage and better percussive attack. "Slow Ride" is especially better.
Green Day. Warning (2000). On Coke-bottle green vinyl from 2009. Fantastic album to begin with and the vinyl version doubles the DR versus CD.

No particular reason other than I haven't listened to him in quite a while, its different to what I've been playing recently and its a fine album.
saw James Arthur as a support act at the south bank quite a few years back - if my memory serves me right he was being championed by Peter Gabriel .....so another link to his first album...40 years ago?!?
Yep, Joseph was championed by Peter Gabriel and his albums recorded at PG's Real World Studio and released on Real World Records label.
Renata Tebaldi and Del Monaco in roof-lifting performances in this heroic opera; sound has started to show its age although for 1957, this (stereo) recording sounds good, with voices in particular excellent but the strings a bit... stringy.
Cheers,

I purchased this CD when it was released in 1997 and enjoy it as much today as I did then. Top quality Drum and Bass with a twist.
I like that photograph. It reminds me of Who's Next.
Also via Tidal...
Georgius, String Theory on CD.
I just cannot get enough of this album. this could be one of my favourite Prog albums ever.

Searching out old favourites produced these two gems - and "Welcome to the Workhouse" is in the wings! Saw them live several times in Leicester many years ago. I'll have to play some of Christine's later solo stuff later too!
Because it was playing in Exeter HMV and I can't get it out of my head! Probably not played for a good 15 years or so!!
Compilation CD of Factory Records' 1980s Stateside activities. Includes New Order, ACR, Section 25, Marcel King, Cabaret Voltaire, Quando Quango, 52nd Street, etc etc

Someone was playing a different version of this Pinnock interpretation of Handel, so I thought I'd get out my old late 1980s vinyl LP and give it a spin. Lovely stuff...
Sultans of Swing needs to be played once a year for the old times sake. I guess today's the day…

Lee Morgan was killed in the early hours of February 19, 1972, at Slug's Saloon, a jazz club in New York City's East Village where his band was performing. Following an altercation between sets, Morgan's common-law wife Helen More (a.k.a. Morgan) shot him. The injuries were not immediately fatal, but the ambulance was slow in arriving on the scene as the city had experienced heavy snowfall which resulted in extremely difficult driving conditions. They took so long to get there that Morgan bled to death. He was 33 years old.
A tragic story, but why do you marry a woman who goes to a jazz club to hear you playing with a gun in her purse?
