@Corry, I did hint on post 300016, Corry. I played Pearl before that record. Sad loss at such a young age!

Pink Floyd. The wall. Because it’s the only studio album of theirs that I don’t own. Which is strange because I have bought all the others several times over

The latest Halvorson CD. It’s wonderful to hear Robert Wyatt singing again, and to hear Halverson’s guitar once more, but I’m not sure this music needs the vocals of Amirtha Kidambi or Maria Grand. But it’s a good album otherwise.

Lou Reed - New York Deluxe Edition - Release day vinyl
One of my favourite Lou Reed albums (just pipped to the post for me by Magic and Loss), powerful heart felt songs hymning the New York of 30 years ago and excoriating the system and status quo of the time. Some of the best songs by a great songwriter, played superbly by a stripped down band, as the man says on the original sleeve notes “You can’t beat two guitars, bass and drums”.
Fine SQ on this re-release, first thought is that Lou’s voice and the guitars are a bit more prominent, I haven’t compared it directly with my original release copy yet, that had surprisingly excellent SQ for an hour long LP. Despite being a single album across 2 LPs this is a 33 pressing.
Looking forward to the CDs with live and early versions, and the concert DVD.

My he’s looking a lot younger there, but he is over 80 now
I’m really interested in your opinion of the whole collection. I too have the original vinyl which sounds very good considering the length. In theory it should sound better over 2 discs. I don’t have the cd. Is it well presented? Do I really need another copy? (sounds like one of his lines)
