I have never owned a Beatles CD, my kids have a couple, and I only have a couple of their LP's. We got the box in mono, thinking we could fill in with stereo for the later releases like Abbey Road, Let It Be, etc. These CD's sound great in mono,...

I had a CD by Seth Lakerman [sp?], Western Approaches lying around in the kitchen. I couldn't be bothered looking too hard for something to play on my 'proper' system whilst I had a cup of tea and a piece of cake so I put it on. It sounded suprisingly good, quite enjoyable in fact. Three different singers, some acoustic instruments, not bad tunes. I'd recomend it. In fact I probably bought it after someone on this forum recomended it to me - thanks whoever you are. SJ
Yes, I know this will be complete anathema to some, but I have some 70 English, Irish, and Scottish folk LPs, many of which are not available as CD releases, and the condition of which, after many years of abuse in dusty houses and being played on...

Did anyone else catch this delightfully unusual programme and enjoy the music?It was haunting. Somehow unsettling and uplifting in equal measure. The composer is Michel Duvoisin and I've emailed him to ask if the film soundtrack is commercially ...

I just wanted to thank Naim for running the WAYLTAWMABI thread. What I learned from it has brought me so much pleasure and it is the best thread on the Interweb. IMO.

I just received the new Mark Knopfler cd, Get Lucky and it is an excellent effort. It has the usual tasty guitar licks and a Celtic vibe reminiscent of the Chieftains. Highly recommended.
