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

Something from the famous Japanese label TBM: 

Great sound! Even thou on R2R.

If you can try and get a copy of the official bootleg that was issued round about the same time. Usually called Roxy and Elsewhere, certainly in my Top 5 live albums of all time.

It periodically comes up on a certain auction web site.

Driven indoors by showers. So I thought I'd play this gem from 1980, on UK first press vinyl:

Haven't heard the Suzuki album but I am a great fan of Tsuyoshi and have a number of his sets.

Just finishing off a breeze through some of Dire Straits greatest commercial successes.

Nat Adderley - Little big horn.

From Allmusic.com:

This lesser-known set by Nat Adderley (reissued on CD in the Original Jazz Classics in 1999) teams the likable cornetist with either Jim Hall or Kenny Burrell on guitar and the Junior Mance Trio (which consists of pianist Mance, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Mickey Roker). Nat wrote all eight selections and, even though none would catch on (a la "Work Song"), several of the numbers are quite memorable and are deserving of revival. "Loneliness" sounds properly desolate, "Roses for Your Pillow" is a superior ballad and most of the other songs are filled with joy, including "El Chico," "Half-Time" and "Broadway Lady." A fine obscurity recorded at a time when Nat was one of the stars of his brother Cannonball Adderley's Sextet.

Tedeschi Trucks an official live recording form last years tour.

Different date and city than the official release.

The version of Midnight in Harlem is just sublime.

They also did a Live from the Vaults series. 

Think you can still pick them up as downloads from their websites gift shop.

I have most of them on cd

Nothing available either on Discogs at the moment except this link:

Back to die Kraftwerk vinyl box. This time, it's Trans-Europe Express:

I've been promising myself a bit of Family and the distinctive vocals of Roger C.  Spanish Tide on this album has always been one of favourite Family songs  

On vinyl (Premiere mondiale it sez)

Why? Relaxing after back-to-back model railway exhibitions yesterday and today.

Good choice Mike, I can't remember the last time I played this or saw it being posted here. I've added it to a playlist to remind me to give it a whirl.

And it was your playing a Family album a day or two ago that prompted me, Steve.  

Returning to Sgt Pepper on vinyl - this times the second "sessions" disc of outtakes. Interesting and entertaining, although not essential except for diehards; although one does get a glimpse into how the album might have sounded had things gone a little differently:

Angus & Julia Stone

On the Contour label - Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Rudolph Firkusny, piano

Why? Still chillin'

Following Fearless, I fancied a bit more of Family. I especially like the live recording songs on this.

Because it's one of their best and one of my favourite releases last year and is jolly good
