A blog where a wife endeavours to listen to every one of her husbands 1500 LP collection, from A - Z.   http://alltherecords.tumblr.com/post/77511421124/what-is-this   Up to "B" at the moment, just past Black Sabbath.  

Debs or anyone else could you help. I recently purchased from Amazon the Fleetwood Mac 1969-72 boxed set. It came in a sealed box and the lp's look fine. However the 7" single centre has been punched out (as per juke box). The centre is not in the box...

Hi Can you please suggest some flute material for me. I love classical music, symphony, piano, violin, etc... But have nothing regarding flute. maybe some other genre of music too that you think appropriate.  Many thanks in advance and enjoy...

From the BBC: "Bob Dylan's original hand-written lyrics for his ground-breaking song Like a Rolling Stone are to be sold at auction in New York in June. Experts at Sotheby's have described the manuscript as "the most significant piece of rock material to appear at auction." Sotheby's say bids could reach £1m." Richard

This rare appearance by Otto Klemperer with the VPO [playing Mozart] has a legendary reputation and has hardly ever been available on commercial release. I was amazed to see it appear on youtube. I had never heard this performance before.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITr4m0sInCk   Please do enjoy this very rare collaboration.   ATB from George

I'm shocked at this news:- C&P WILKO JOHNSON – IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy. He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity. He has just set off on a trip to Japan; on his return we plan to complete a new CD, make a short tour of...

just arrived direct from Bedfordshire  .   So I wonder .....   .... will I be happily cleaning LPs with it?   .... or will it become an expensive imported nail brush at the garage sink?

I visited Langley MIll Records in Nottingham today and it was well worth a visit. Almost exclusively s/h stuff - excellent vinyl stock with some CD's, DVD's and books. Tim, the owner, is very knowledgeable about collectible vinyl and has a 'healthy'...

"Hard to imagine a better poster girl for polyglot New York pop than Sabina."- The New York Times "Glamorous"- Rolling Stone The first solo album Toujours from critically lauded artist and performer Sabina will be released 24th March on Naim Edge Records. The co-founding member of the Grammy-nominated Verve/Universal-signed Brazilian Girls, best known by Naim Label fans for her stunning duet with legendary italian guitarist Antonio Forcione in 1997, the debut record rediscovers Sabina's...

Tripped over this on the pink forum. Looks like an Amazon mistake - £7.53 with free delivery for a double album. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pro...00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does anyone know the bit rate for the BBC Radio3 iPlayer for Radio 3 please?   Many thanks

The new 2014 Steven Wilson remix.   Amazon are listing it for pre-order for 21st April release.   John.

Clear sighted, grand, compelling, but also with Mozartian clarity.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8HjAvx1MJk   If most of Klemperer's Wagner recordings show a moderate and certainly not slow presentation of the music, here we find...

Click .   John.

Can anyone recommend where to get rock / pop HDCD CD recordings from, either on-line or an actual shop in the UK.

Great gig you should check out the uk tour, great stuff

We all know that not all reissues sound good. Some of them down right atrocious.I thought this thread could be an interesting data bank to see various folks experience with new vinyls. ( good or bad )I know that most of them are going to be hit and...

Beeing a classical music listener from radio only, the last years (norwegian NRK Classical) I have discovered Radio Paradise. I use these two stations quite often now. It`s a very fine way of discovering new music, artist´s that I have overseen totally. By using the playlist function I note down the artist and then use Spotify to do further listening. Natalie Merchant is one example, or JJ. Cale......or even The Cinematic Orchestra How will I connect to music in the future? I think...

I've grown a bit disenchanted with my music collection as of late. It's mostly rock from 1960s to mid 1980's. Just wondering what others might suggest I try as an alternative. Thanks.
