What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
On of the three wounderful late period LC albums..
Vinyl
His other albums are lesss electronic, new classical silent piano music....
1989 - CD (WAV)...
This is a wonderful album that I overlooked when it was released, but have recently bought. Mark Feldman's violin is particularly fine and the interplay with the guitar is inspired. An excellent recording too, as you'd expect from ECM.
And another..
Vinyl
Couldn't just buy Fraim dusters! So I picked this up in a local record shop. More Sandy Denny which had escaped my collection. Different versions of many of their best songs recorded here for BBC broadcast in 1969, 1970 and 1973.
Tidal Masters 24/96
(1975)
Sounding very good on this Tidal Masters thingy.
2006 -CD (WAV)...
Loud on original vinyl, in preparation for seeing them in Leeds in a couple of weeks time!
From Tidal.
Nice interplay between a piano and a sax player. Mostly in a relaxing style.
Next in the Studio Collection Volume 1 the misses bought me for Xmas. Some great music and sounds so much better on vinyl!
Now listening to Jasper van't hof in a quartet setting.
On vinyl.
Not my favourite Petty album, but well worth a listen as still contains some good tracks
Electric Light Orchestra
Time - Tidal HiFi
Next
John Mellencamp
Scarecrow

Matt, this is a great album - I have it on CD. I particularly like Rosanne's version of Girl From the North Country.
A recent purchase following a recommendation by Mike-B. Having recently discovered Ms Krall via this thread I've set about getting a few of her albums. This is my fourth and I must say even on first play I think it is my favourite. An excellent recording of a live performance. The pace is lovely and the strings complement her music very well. Thanks Mike-B

Next

I am so pleased you like "Vigil" Edward, it is one of my favourite albums too. Enjoy. Regards, Simon.
From the Vinyl Collection, another Xmas pressie. Kossoffs guitar and Rodgers voice show signs of the great things that were to come from free. this vinyl edition is probably the best I have heard this album. Seems the box set survived the lack of packaging from Amazon - if came with no cardboard packaging, only thin transparent plastic wrapped around it. Did not impress the wife as the courier guy handed the parcel to me, so ceased to be a surprise.
Another Fairport BBC collection, with just a few repeated from the other disc. This version of Percy's Song is particularly enjoyable.
