2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
1st run...
Via Tidal.
Last week I heard one of their songs on the radio and I thought 'I need to listen to some music of the Little River Band'.
A nice easy start to the day with this - great mix of tunes from this album in the Back To Mine series.
Back To Mine - EBTG

Quality James.
What a brilliant artist, troubled soul and great loss.

New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies
Sounding good on vinyl - gave this a clean on an Okki Nokki I treated myself to for my birthday recently. Sun shining, just had a fresh nussschnecke with coffee, dog asleep next to me, life good!

Both the original 1983 UK Factory pressing and the '84 Japanese Nippon Columbia/Denon pressing of that sound stunning Zauber. After Technique, PC&L is my fave NO album. And of course it has one of the best covers of all time!
Back to '74 and one of my favourite Dead years. This is my fave Dick's Picks volume (that I've heard). Four-CD set:

1. SPIRIT. By Depeche Mode
2. Future Politics by Austra
enjoying both when i get sick of reading/ hearing about life and politics in 2017. Slightly daggy, slightly 1980s, simple electronic pop sounds reminisent of my youth, totally on high rotation.
Easy peasy .......... go to Amazon, find the cover you're after, click to enlarge the image, then "copy image address" >
in forum "reply" box, click on "insert image", (the landscape button, 8th. from the right), and paste url into box, click "OK" .......... job done. 
Thanks for the tip on images.
great mixture of African percussion and jazz soloing.
The sun is shining and it feels like Easter is here already - so this seemed appropriate. Marvellous. Tidal.
And earlier, dipping into blues a bit these days, which is rather an unknown area for me. Rather enjoyable. I think this is one of albums in the bargain boxed set highlighted earlier in this thread.
16/44 WAV 1st play.
recording quality is good.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds - Best of.
Some sunny afternoon scuzzy Texas blues from The T'birds.
Yet another $5 Big Lots purchase - evocative of my youth when my parents listened to adult contemporary radio. It is a hits collection culled form his 2012 tour, which the album cover does not mention, but Glen is in fine voice and the arrangements are tight and very close to the studio recordings. Hard to believe that now just 5 years later at age 80 he is in the final stages of Alzheimer's care with the end apparently close at hand.
He walked the fine line between country and pop about as well as anyone.
