Agnes Obel, Philharmonics, CD rip

Some more Agnes… a chilled out morning.

Got the plasterer in at the ‘new’ place so no DiY for a couple of days. A new, to us, plasterer and, as anyone will tell you that’s ever had to get a plasterer in, there are good plasterers but an awful lot more bad plasterers. As such it’s a bit bum-twitchy at the moment wondering if this is going to be £300 down the drain or not so we need something to calm us down

Lou Reed - The Bells

[igahman]

Miles Davis.Birth of the cool. Talking about album covers that really is the coolest. I have a cd edition and it just doesn’t work like the vinyl.

BBC National Orchestra of Wales - Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Tippett - WAV CD rip
Elegant readings of the Enigma Variations, Dives and Lazarus, and Ritual Dances. From an old BBC Music magazine cover disc.

[igahman]

Boz Scaggs. Dig. Recently introduced to this artist by @seakayaker and this is third album I’ve listened to. Excellent.

Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat
On Vinyl

[Eoink]

Hawkwind -Quark, Strangeness and Charm, WAV CD rip
Inspired by an exchange with @Ebor on the jokes thread, the Space Rock masters with one of their trippiest albums. My vinyl copy of this is an early ‘80s pressing, I occasionally think of getting a first press, but somehow the copy that got played to death during my Physics degree at Imperial College seems appropriate given the title.

[Ebor]

Crikey, I didn’t realise it was a reference to an actual song title. My Physics degree was about a decade too late for prog classics to be on the menu, more’s the pity.

[keanoking]

Can’t stop playing this. Great voice, very chilled album. Nice production

Ron Wood - Gimme Some Neck

[TheKevster]

UK first press vinyl. This is Ese’s first time of hearing Rush. She looks baffled…

[TheKevster]

“This is horrible…!!!” she wails. Better move off Rush and on to something else…

UK vinyl from the 1980s:

Now playing…

Tord Gustavsen Trio - Changing Places

Tord Gustavsen (Piano), Harald Johnsen (Double-Bass) and Jarle Vespestad (Drums).

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this beautiful sunny morning withTord’s Chaning Places and it is sounding cool, smooth and sophisticated and helping to ease into the day. This is one sweet album!

Iconic cover thread made me think of this
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells
On Abbey Road half speed master. Original 1973 Stereo album mix

[johnt]

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Skynyrd’s First, The Complete Muscle Shoals Album

[VinoVeritas]

After working my way through Hendrix Songs for Groovy Children and I have to agree with @TheKevster Machine Gun News Years Eve 2nd dry is brilliant.
But then again so are the rest.

This lead me to dig out my copy of Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live from 1978.

Many people complain Marino copies Hendrix but he quote Carlos Santana, Johnny Winter and Duane Allman as other influences.
Electric Reflections of War and the following World Anthem to me are Machine Gun inspired ibut I love em
Each to our own
