Talented singer-songwriter. I really enjoy all her albums and hoping to see her live when her cancelled UK tour finally takes place.

UK first press from a frighteningly long time ago. Still sounds fresh though.

Who knows? Never say never, but if you want it then I’d say just buy a version you can play today and enjoy it.

Thanks, I’ve not come across Grant Haua before. Album sounds great! I’m a long time fan of Paul Ubana Jones, he’s a similarly talented bluesman.

Now Playing…

OMD Architecture and Morality.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… a mention above from @Sloop_John_B had me place in the queue since I never heard the group’s music. So taking out for a spin and the opening track is sounding pretty good and grab my attention… so looking forward to the rest of the album.

@Bevo @Bobthebuilder There have been a lot of mixed reviews of Fat Pop from casual listeners and fans alike (nothing to do with the pressing) on this thread (take a look) and on another well known forum.
The pressing quality is another matter and with regard to that, maybe just a few rogue samples I dont know, it’s not just “one” person who has brought this to attention, I’ve read from at least two other members who have had issues, and one of those was on Bobs own PW thread.

Fwiw I’m a fan of PW and initially thought Fat Pop one of his best, but with repeated listening I think I got carried away with hyperbole, its OK but not that great imo the more one listens, the opposite of what some might call a “grower”.
