Watched the Eddie Murphy Coming 2 America film which had an appearance by Gladys Knight which prompted this selection.
Perhaps not one of the best loved Motown Stars, not sure why but the Motown albums were pretty hit and miss. This post Motown album is a goodie though
Gladys Knight & The Pips Imagination
I saw Gladys and The Pips once…she and they were great 
The Barr Brothers - Queens Of The Breakers. Not listened to this excellent record for a while. Music with folk and Americana influences. Some nice harp playing as well.
Funny, I had that record on my mind a day or two back but didnt get round tooit
Ta for reminder
R.L. Burnside. A ass pocket of whiskey.
Alphabetically chosen on the iPod.
Teamed up with the Jon Spencer blues explosion. If you want that boogie feel, look no further.
Joni Mitchell, Clouds, cd rip
Playing through telly…
Random choice to test Assett+BubbleUPnP Server running on my NAS. Having to transcode to WAV 44KHz because the telly is a bit limited on what it will take but it works and we can play music.
Snowgoose - The Making Of You. I recently stumbled across this 2020 release and, after a couple of plays, I absolutely love it. After checking up online, I discovered they are a Scottish folk-rock outfit headed up by Jim McCullough (Soup Dragons) and vocalist Anna Sheard with support from Raymond McGinley (Teenage Fanclub) and members of Belle & Sebastian, among others.
Clayton, Australia

CD on Okeh/Sony
Branford - tenor/soprano sax
Joey Calderazzo - piano
Eric Revis - bass
Justin Faulkner - drums
Will see if it’s on Tidal and give it a whirl👍
Elgar Violin Concerto - Nigel Kennedy, LPO/Vernon Handley
Nige before he became just Kennedy. This was a Gramophone award winning recording at the time of its release.
Having recommended this version to @Filipe tge other day, I thought I’d better remind myself of it. Just as good as it always was.
On Tidal, physical formats on Bandcamp (vinyl sold out)
LA OLA INTERIOR brings together 20 little-known and innovative pieces from the golden age of Spanish electronic music.
@Charles64 interesting label out of Switzerland
Music | Les Disques Bongo Joe
Bongo Joe records is pleased to present La Contra Ola, a compilation recording dedicated to the early 80’s Spanish Synth Wave and Post Punk scene. First to be published outside Spain, this anthology explores the electronic music side of the independent music produced in the days in the Iberian Peninsula: Synthetic pop music with industrial sounds including futurist Art Rock, dance-floor productions and low-fi experiments on cassettes. Classics or true hidden treasures, this selection of nineteen songs is symbolic of the musical dawn that Spain experienced during the decade marked by the return of democracy and by the creative freedom initiated by Punk music
Anything with Bongo in the midst gets a thumbs up from me!
Yes, looks an interesting label for sure.
I’ve played (streamed) the album a few times now, and it’s definitely one I’d like to have on vinyl. Will see if there’s anything out there beyond Bandcamp.
Thanks.
Easing into Tuesday evening
One of his best ! ?
