Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
Peter Albin (Bass, Guitar), Sam Andrew (Bass, Guitar, Vocals), David Getz (Drums, Piano), James Gurley (Bass, Guitar), Janis Joplin (Vocals) and John Simon (Piano).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this morning in the land that time forgot and spending time back in '68 when the music was great and otherwise the decade was pretty much f__ked in so many other ways. (just my point of view).
This is one sweet album…

Grover Washington Jr - Winelight
Sounding wonderful in all its 192/24 glory. Jeez, the man can blow the sax. Helped in no small way by a wonderful vocal contribution by Bill Withers - what’s not to like.
RIP BW.

I have no idea why, but this 1980, early digital transfer of this classic album is still for me the best-sounding vinyl version of Wish You Were Here. Lots of other people agree with me, and they don’t know why either. Anyway, who cares? Let’s boogie!

Wish You Were Here [1975]
Joining Kev in a bit of Floyd, nothing particularly exotic by way of the CD rip from this 1983 CBS RE but it does have a great reputation as perhaps the best sounding CD version of WYWH.

Canned Heat. Living the blues. My favourite Heat album which I have on vinyl and cd but I’m lazily streaming tonight. The first disc has hit singles, long slow blues and boogie music ending with the experimental but enjoyable Parthenogenesis featuring John Mayall. The second disc is a live 40 min track with solos by each member and is much better than that sounds but it is disc one that you will remember as a classic in it’s own right.

Sidsel Endresen - So I Write
Sidsel Endresen (Vocal), Nils Petter Molvaer (Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Percussion), Django Bates (Piano) and Jon Christensen (Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on into the noon hour with this beautiful album released in 1990. A fantastic quartet with Sidsel lovely vocals and accompanied by three first class musicians to round out the quartet. This is one sweet album!

Best version I have heard is the two track Japanese first pressing but it goes for stupid money and IMHO the CBS discs is very good as well. I did get two copies of the CBS set for myself.

I haven’t heard that Japanese pressing Ewen so I am quite happy to sit this one out with the CBS unless something game changing comes along…
*Edit: A quick look on discogs is showing that this CBS CD is going for upwards of $US 200

This just took me back to my early 20’s! Great to hear it again although it seems like it was almost from a previous lifetime.
