2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Two from earlier this evening..
Original Vinyl
Read that this should be one of a 1001 albums you must hear and wow what a great record, I can't wait to hear it via speakers tomorrow when family out!
Arrived today and working my way through. A fine 3 CD collection which i picked up used and in excellent condition for the bargain price of £6.99 
Jah Wobble - I Could Have Been A Contender
CD rips:-
R.E.M. - Eponymous
Keb Mo - Keb Mo also eponymous. 
There are some days when you just play the right album at the right time and it talks to you .. this is the right album and the right time .. such wonderful energy.

Really enjoying this, must get some more PMG only have this and Travels.
On vinyl...
Any suggestions regarding other Pat Metheny Group albums, thanks.
'Offramp' is my favourite. I've owned it since it was released. I also bought it on CD do that I didn't wear out the vinyl! It includes the excellent original version of 'Are You Going With Me'. Some great sounds from the Roland G-303 guitar.

At least that one hasn't been remastered by Steven Wilson yet!
First time I've ever heard this one, taken from the 22 disc box set. Many of the songs are rather like Steve Hillage meets Gary Numan, still some interesting guitar playing to be heard occasionally.

Many thanks for all your replies and suggestions but they all seem hard to find on vinyl and those I can find are going for stupid prices, not sure why? 
Wave, Me And Reality via Tidal
If you like your Polish Prog, this album released today is well worth a try.

Thanks Clive, this seems to be the only one suggested so far that is a reasonable price on vinyl.

On vinyl...
Ennio Morricone's 1968 OST - Once Upon a Time in The West. CD rip. Nice on a full range well balanced system.
Ahmad Jamal - At the Blackhawk. CD rip. Rel. 1962. A sweet one.
Walter Bishop Jr. ~ Coral Keys. CD rip. 1972!
with Chris Potter on sax...really good album!
Starting this morning with Bach.
Michael Brecker: Tales from the Hudson
I used to listen to Brecker Bro. albums in the 70s. I remember I was rather disappointed when I picked this CD up as it's not really funky. ( it's more straight up ) But I listen to this from time to time.

I rather dislike the funk period and am much more interested in the later work of Michael. Give the album Pilmgrimage a try...
