2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Arrived today, released in 1959:
First spin, very promising.

1979 - LZ - In Through The Out Door.
There are five different versions of this album on Tidal....
..... Absolutely mental!
In the end I decided to play the original vinyl..
Five Tidal versions? There were six different outer sleeves (different cover photos) issued with the original LP. The brown paper wrapper made it impossible to know which cover you were getting, though I assume the LPs all sounded the same. Also fun to play with the watercolors on the inner sleeve, a feature I was never aware of until a couple of years ago. When I tried them recently my original issue inner sleeve I was pleasantly surprised that the watercolors sprang to life like as from day one. It remains one of the more innovative inner sleeve offerings.
Beck's "The Information" CD with it's blank album liner and 'colorforms' stickers allowing the user to create their own album art is perhaps a modern rival for creative sleeves.
The Very Best Of Deep Purple. On CD from 2000. Remastered in "Rhinophonic Authentic Sound". I'm really into this CD lately and have given it several bouts of repeated listens the past week.
Recorded in Omaha, Nebraska, August 2015. Fantastic SACD of “one to a part” 16th century Masses.
kick it!
Bruce Hornsby - Harbor lights.
Very nice album by Bruce Hornsby. Good example of jazz influenced rock music.
The Natural Yogurt Band: Away with Melancholy
Wonky jazz funk..
On CD:-
Roger Waters - Is This The Life We Really Want?
Jimmy Smith - Back at the chicken shack
F*>K Dance, Lets Art .
Great compo..
2017 - Tidal...
Just when you think D&B is dead, Goldie manages to give it a kick up the backside with a new lease of life breathing new rhythms into it.
If you didn't get D&B first time around, you won't get it now!
Magic Slim - Black tornado.
Time for some blues!
Had a nice time today working and as I worked alone I could listen to music....
Bill is one of the key figures behind Snarky Puppy, while not his best album ....., still entertaining...
Pleasant from Bandcamp
Another album I listened at at work, some of the great guitar s in jazz, and the result is a nice album....
Have another album from them, guys on Bandcamp. This album has also it's Charmes.....
Later . Crazy p
great compo.
Now listening via my main system to this excellent album. A saxophone player with a new voice, driving intriguing music. I recommend this album to everybody who is into contemporary jazz which is lyrical and driving......, give it a listen.....

Nabbed this hybrid SACD last week and, like the music, it's sounding very good.
