My daughter has the box set of all Radiohead CDs. I know little about them. What , in your opinion are the best tracks? Can't be bothered listening to all the CDs. Would be grateful for your opinions.

Neil Young says no to streaming services: “I don’t need my music to be devalued by the worst quality in the history of broadcasting or any other form of distribution. I don’t feel right allowing this to be sold to my fans. It’s bad for my music. This is not because of the money, although my share (like all other artists) was dramatically reduced by bad deals made without my consent. When the quality is back, I’ll give it another look. Never say never.” What do you think of this? Richard

All   I recently bought this vinyl from HMV.  The music is interesting and enjoyable.   However the surface noise and crackles are terrible.   The first track on side two in particular has 4 really loud extended crackles and...

...and there are no links, so probably a tough ask. There were two house versions of Jeff Lorber Fusion's song, Samba, anyone know any of them (who they were by). Now here's what might sound like rank laziness - I've got both of the 12"-ers but...

Ok, these aren't cheap...can someone get geeky about Mono vs. Stereo?    What happens when you play mono into a stereo, same thing from both speakers?   The needle reads from both sides of the groove, with mono does this mean the same...

Has anyone any information or experience of these? There seems to be mixed information about the provenance of the mastering, the label it is being issued by and the price. I have read that it has been mastered from 1st gen analogue tape but I have...

Our Richard is back with another magnificent set of wrist-slashers and tales of love gone bad. Oh those delicious  almost  discordant guitar solos. One kinda knows where most guitar solos are going, but not RT's, which wrong-step us time and...
