Because I wanted to hear Answers? Questions! Questions? Answers!
That’s a concert I wish I’d seen.
Barn is not brilliant but Neil doesn’t owe us anything. I could rattle off 20 albums essential to my collection.
The music on that album is excellent Andy but some of the chatter from Kevin can irritate. I have it on vinyl and remember doing an edited version on tape.
Streamed on regular basis.
The Doors. LA Woman.
Great final studio album. Sounding very good on qobuz in high res but doesn’t actually say it’s 50th anniversary.
Sounds superior to my old cd version.
Michael Franks blue pacific / 1990 Reprise / Japan Promo CD / WPCP3596
Tracks produced by Jeff Lorber, Tommy LiPuma and Walter Becker.
An album I used to play a fair bit but hasn’t had a spin in a while and then it pops up in January Hi-Fi News as one of the best cover albums - Tori Amos - Strange Little Girls.
I got to watch it over the weekend - it was very good, though I also got a sense of things being rewritten…Not that I knew about them till late 77 in order to really comment, and once saw them walking along the road in Crouch End.
Also saw Genesis once at a native american spirituality talk.
It was interesting to see pictures and film of what they were doing prior to TG.
I always felt they explored the nasty side of human nature rather than sensationalised it - the programme seemed to just skate over that aspect in any detail.
but who am I to say

Beautiful laid back jazzy blues just perfect for this wet & gloomy Monday afternoon.
Shame these classic jazz albums are so short, just 33 luxurious minutes of musical superbness
