Playing the second disc from the double disk version of Frank contained in this set. I really enjoy listening to Amy’s interpretation of jazz standards.

I well remember Brinsley in the ‘Double Deckers’ on kids TV in the early seventies.

Ten years later I saw him fronting what remains the loudest band I’ve ever heard.

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go (RSD 2021)

Third time lucky. My first two copies were duds! This one is a keeper. And a very fine album it is.

The Stranglers - No More Heroes

A delightfully angry album. I couldn’t hope to describe this any better than John Dougan in the AMG review, who says it’s “still an enjoyable bit of noise that holds up better than anyone would have guessed at the time”.

Deep Purple | Deep Purple | 1969
I do like early 'Purple before Ian Gillan’s screaming, this one is great and the opening track Chasing Shadows is one of those that I occasionally love to play on continuous loop with the volume set to stun. :sunglasses:

Blues Pills | 2014
Their eponymous debut album which is pretty good in parts, discogs tag them as blues/ rock, I haven’t heard their other two more recent albums.
