Otis Taylor - Fantasizing About Being Back - On Vinyl

Prompted by Stevee's post above. Sylvian's debut solo album on UK first press vinyl:

A + 3 | WAV

This isn't the correct album art (apologies), playing a double album of EW&F's greatest (live stuff). If you can sit still though this then you must be dead already! 

The Cranberries,  Something Else, this is a wonderful album, a kind of acoustic greatest hits full of mood, strings and brilliance, love it.  Tidal via Audirvana/Hugo

Cara Dillon - Cara Dillon

Lovely. Such a pure voice!

Josh Rouse - Country Mouse, City Mouse

Mainly because I want to hear the basstastic riff on Hollywood Bass Player, the kind of riff that has me fancifully wondering of active SBLs....

C.

Milt Jackson & Wes Montgomory.

The work very well together.

Josh Rouse - Nashville

Class. A better album, as Bruce and I agree.

One of my faves. The voice (and looks !) of an angel. 

Having seen this feature on this thread quite a lot recently, I took a punt and bought it unheard. First play this evening.  

Oooh! This is a bit good, isn't it?    

Porcupine Tree, Stupid Dream WAV CD Rip.

Listening to this rather good album while watching the Snooker (on mute), A nice glass of Red would have gone down well too, alas I am working tomorrow.

What it says on the tin

I'm off to New York in August to celebrate my 50th birthday and noticed while I'm there they are playing at Madison Square Garden, along with Chic ft Nile Rodgers - seriously thinking to get tickets for that one!!

Robert Tear, Philip Ledger - Vaughan Williams* ‎– Songs Of Travel · Blake Songs · Linden Tree · The Water Mill · Orpheus With His Lute on vinyl

This one belonged to my late cousin who loved opera and singing. A haunting collections of songs. 

Robert Tear, a Welsh tenor, first became known singing in the operas of Benjamin Britten in the mid-1960s. From the 1970s until his retirement in 1999 his main operatic base was the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; he appeared with other opera companies in the UK, mainland Europe, the US and Australia. Generally avoiding the Italian repertoire, which did not suit his voice, Tear became known in leading and character roles in German, British and Russian operas.

Tear's concert repertoire was wide, extending from music from the 17th century to contemporary works by Britten, Tippett and others. He conducted for some years from the mid-1980s, but found himself temperamentally unsuited it. As a teacher at the Royal Academy of Music he was happier, and was well regarded by colleagues and pupils.[1]
