Cream - Fresh Cream.

OK, '60's vibe, but still ............

I remember picking this up on my way home from school , plopping it onto the Dansette .......... stunning.

Superb, we must be of the same excellent vintage.  

I am not of the same vintage, however I like them as well, while more the live albums with the long version of the songs in which jamming plays an important role...

Another great one from Dave Holland, recorded in '99.   Robin Eubanks really shines on this date…

There are some really cool songs on this album.

A great lyrical album of Cohen (the one with the trumpet...., not the bass). He manages with his style and timing to mesmerize especially in a live setting. Hope to see him again on this years North Sea Jazz Festival.....

Likewise, I was there on the second night of the farewell concert at The Royal Albert Hall.

Travelled down , gloomily thinking "Why are they packing it in? 

On the night, it turned into a celebration of their music.

Travelled home thinking "Top that, anyone, if you can".

Very enjoyable on fuchsia pink vinyl - even looks good on the turntable! Aimee Mann back to her best IMHO

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced.

Finishing off this evening's sixties fest with the obvious choice.

Again, one picked up on the way home from school, myself and a couple of mates gathered round the trusty Dansette ................... sound of jaws hitting floor ...............whaaaaat on earth is this? 

A defining moment in my musical education.

Only guitar and trumpet, but well done

Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, their first album with Dio and one of my faves.  Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

Music from the Stanley Kubrick film, great synergy between music and imagery:
