Serious jazz groove!

I’d not realised that this and The Blue Meaning had been released as hi-res versions or CD quality with extra tracks, presumably coinciding with vinyl re-releases.

I have this on CD and vinyl, but this new version seems very clean/detailed and involving by comparison even in CD quality streaming - maybe it’s just me.

I’m really not sure, it’s tempting in one way, just for the experience, but another way it feels like a soulless stadium experience, I’ll order the album Saturday and then decide on the hologram preorder day whether to try the mad rush hitting refresh. What about you Alan?

I don’t think so Eoin, I don’t own anything by them except a best of. However they have my total respect for everything they have achieved and have a wonderful music legacy :+1:
Just don’t seem to have really explored their work.

The Beatles - Let It Be - Qobuz 16/44
The first album I ever bought with my pocket money, a few years after release. I have that copy now, but felt too lazy to get up to play it. Such a great band, the title track is for me one of Paul’s greatest songs, I love the way George gets to thrash (gently) on many tracks, and overall I love it.
