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

On SHM-CD

(1976)

Because I do like getting this one out from time to time when I can play it at an appropriate volume and I rather like what CD Japan did with the album 

UK first press vinyl. I have guests and I am trying to get them to appreciate the magic of Bobbie:

That shouldn't take long Kevin !! 

I'm not a massive Coldplay fan but i do enjoy their first two albums (and dip in and out of the latter ones)

Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Kenny Barron and Dave Holland - The art of conversation

Some old memories.....

This is the third volume of Randy Newman's excellent Songbook series. Just him at the piano.

1968 - Vinyl - US first pressing...

Let's boogie!

  Canned Heat - Essential.

  Boogie on, then.

Love that live album Tony, lucky enough to have been knocking about London to to catch some of their great early gigs in pubs and other establishments at the time .

I wasn't so lucky, Steve. It must have been the hell of a gig. London was the coolest place on earth to hang out in the 60's 

Lonelady - Hinterland

Prompted by something on Front Row as I drove home, about a blue plaque to be placed on the house of the guy who started Factory Records. Usual BBC thing, bigging themselves up (the national scheme in conjunction with their local radio stations) but hey, I'll make an exception and just go with it.

This record is bloody brilliant btw for anyone of an JD, ACR, Gang of Four bent.

It sure was Tony and in those days I could get away with 'not quite' being of legal age to get into the various venues. I don't think there was ever a better decade (1965-1975) for new music.

Thanks Chris - sounds right up my street. I'll check it out.

The guests are slowly buying into Bobbie... time to push them further with this, on US first press vinyl:

I'm surprised it's taking so long. I think that I would have have gone with this one:

Stevee, I have recently rediscovered this album on vinyl after not playing it for many years and have really enjoyed listening to it again - I think it is an underrated album. How is this CD Japan version?

Just the job after a long hard day, this lady's glorious voice backed up with that superb band just hits the spot.
