...Has gone all modern I'm still worried it can't last but it's become more user friendly...If a bit i-tunesy.
Excellent value if you buy 3 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7191101.htm Chris N
NEIL COWLEY TRIO RETURN WITH STUNNING NEW ALBUM 'THE FACE OF MOUNT MOLEHILL' "the greatest stadium-filling anthems that Coldplay never wrote" UNCUT "a lovely record that finds favour with anyone attracted to Brubeck, the Penguin Café Orchestra, or Sumpertramp" Pick Of The Month, THE WORD "a credible hybrid of proggish-rock, jazzy melancholy and English melodic whimsy...a glorious romp of a record" TIME OUT With Adele's ‘21' being last year's global chart topper and the biggest selling album...
John Martyn's last album, which made the 'Best of 2011' thread a few times, is now out on heavy duty vinyl. It seems a stunning pressing with a nice black silence behind the music. Its been an interesting experience for me as it was about the first JM...
This coming Sunday at 16:00 on BBC Radio 6 music.Jarvis speaks exclusively to Leonard Cohen about song-writing,loves and life ahead of the release of Old Ideas' His 12th studio album.Heard some clips from the show today.Its worth a listen.Stu.
I know this has been mentioned in other posts in passing but I got it as a Christmas pressie and really like it. It is really different from other sets I have heard, and any live concerts come to that. I especially like the way the overtures are...
I loved her voice and her style. May she rest in peace! Dave
This brilliant album box set can be had from zavi.com now for £9.95 inc free post in the uk. Stu
having just bought and received the Clash singles box set, I think all other manufacturers should take note and learn from the quality of this box set....and all for under £15 all boxed very nicely and every CD double packed, plus the CDs themselves are a exact copy of the original 7 inch record.....( as in they look likwe miniture records ) recomended box set as well
Amazon £2.99, what a great time to be a music fan. SJB
Today, I was lucky enough to be able to listen [for the first time] to the whole set Ella Fitzgerald gave that night almost 52 years ago in front of a very receptive Berlin audience. For those who know this recording, my praising it is pointless, but for me this has everything: Joy, swing, humour [some of it self-deprecating], great playing and singing, and that live thing that can never be recreated in the studio, where, as soon as the producer asks for another take or a...
Yesterday, whilst listening to Radio 2 (on macbook via dac and 102) the signal was interrupted and started playing The Ghetto, when it finished Radio 2 came back on. I was not using my laptop at the time and am absolutely mystified where it came from. It has also now appeared in my iTunes library! I have never downloaded any music in my life and only rip cps into iTunes. It is in wav file and I only ever use flac. Anyway I haven't heard this track for years and it sounded really good so I...
The Clash singles CD Box Set. zavvi.com have this set for £14.95 inc free post at the mo. Stu.
What a great track to finalise the tweaking of the newly aquired sub. All the speed and detail is still there but with a (subjectively?) wider and deeper soundstage....and when the sub-bass kicks in.......never heard that before! G
Walked in on SWMBO last night while some program was playing "Stranger in Paradise". I immediately started singing "Take my hand, I'm a strange-looking parasite...", alas not to her amusement. It started me thinking about all the other...

I have just put this classic album on my LP12,and it struck me.Why in the world would anyone want to mess with this? Do any of you have albums you would not want anyone to mess with?I would not want Coughman any where near this.Stu.
Having recently been helped out on the Chailly Beethoven thread I thought I would bring this lovely box set to your attention. As a classical newbie this has been a godsend. It has 50 CDs at around £75, and a brilliant introduction to a range of composers and music which is new to me. What strikes me as particularly good is the confidence you get with the performances, and the sound quality. It is superb. The set comes with a really good booklet which also describes the history of Decca...
I have just listened to Günter Wand's 1989 recording of Bruckner's 5th symphony, this time from a fresh new SACD. After 75 minutes of wonderful music and 5 minutes devotional silence I walked to the computer and ordered all what there is available from him on SACD. 250 EUR. I had the opportunity to attend his performances of this Bruckner symphony on three occasions, one of them the above live recording. I'll never forget these concerts. Günter Wand would have had his 100th birthday this...
Apparently its Jingle Bells, on Philips 12 inch.
Russ Ballard not only wrote God Gave Rock and Roll To You, Where Are We Going Wrong, Since You've Been Gone and I Surrender (the last two big hots for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow), but a whole host of other great rock and roll songs His...
A few weeks ago i came accross a tracy Chapman CD on Amazon(new beginning). A guy in America was selling it for 1p + 1.26 P & P...Total just £1.26. I thought to myself whats the catch but @ 1.26 whats to lose !! Postie delivered it this morning,a great CD in mint condition and plays perfect. Just checked on Amazon and the same Cd is still up for grabs @ 1p. How can people make a living at these prices ? Have to say its bye bye HMV etc etc for me from now on. Mista H
Well 2011 has ended with some outstanding album releases for me. I would say it has been a very good musical year. Lots of publications have come out with their best off, so if you see something please post it here. I'll kick it off...
I have just discovered that there is a box set of the 8 'proper' albums that have been remastered. My favourite Smiths album Hatfull of Hollow always sounded distinctly tinny, so I thought it worth a punt. So many remasters sound different but not...
Was pleased to tune yesterday to radio 4 and hear them providing the music breaks in the studio.
