2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;

I'll get me chopper out. Hyuk hyuk.
Kev I am with Tony on this.......bring back Alison .......Syd is a national treasure but a new Alison avater would be welcome....she ain't got wrinkles like Syd .
It's only a bit of fun I know but did enjoy the Frapp avaters.
Starting with Bach this morning.
For the Tenth Sunday after Trinity
BWV 46 / 101 / 102
I don't want to change the world, I'm not looking for a New England, I'm just looking for another girl.....
One of my favourite BB songs, from the first album, all those years ago.

I haven't bought or tried this yet Ewen, so thanks for the prompt.
Bach - Brandenburg consertos
Wonderful performed by the Dunedin Consort. Sound quality is also excellent.
Joel Frahm - We used to dance
First run.
Before rousing myself to do some work, let's have some more of Jordi Savall's wonderful readings of French music on a splendid-sounding SACD:

I fondly recall Ms Hendricks.
Chris, Ian, Tony...
As you know I always try to give my adoring public what they want, so I've decided to resurrect Ms Hendricks who, as some of you may know, is the face of Johnnie Walker Black in the US. And I am supposed to be writing a piece about the whisky market at some point this week...
There you go. You look a lot prettier now, Kev.
Have a great week and stay safe.
Been humming "Time The Avenger" all morning, so had to play it before it drives me mad.
One of the great albums of this trio - listening at my holiday location via my mobile setup.....

For my brother who is in the last vestages of life this weekend
He taught me everything about I know music and gave me a love for it.
I'm sorry Ewemon!
A thoughtful and varied recital, played in 'competition' fashion - every note carefully thought out, given its due touch, volume and duration, pedals tastefully applied... but Zhang is really good and seems to have a real vision and genuine musicality, and at no point in this recital gives the impression of being less than dedicated to the composers. As usual, Bis' engineering is a delight.

As Tony's got a cassette out, I'm going to follow his example. From 1986, here's David Sylvian's cassette-only (it was later released on CD) Alchemy: An Index of Possibilities, presented here in a lavish box:

Still R3 here.
Bloody hell! No satisfying some people. I wiill work on this throughout the day, and hopefully I can come up with a solution that suits all parties. You know I only want to please you all...
It's all your fault. You shouldn't play with people's emotion around here. We don't like abrupt changes. You should have warned us. We're all very sensitive, you know!

Bloody snowflakes! It's political correctness gone mad, I tell you!
Another one from memory lane...
