Dire Straits. First album and Communique. Double bill from Mark and the band.
From the studio box set.
Barbara Strozzi - Che si può fare
I’ve just heard this on Georgia Mann’s Essential Classics programme on BBC Radio 3. I searched for it on Qobuz so that I could hear it again. It’s delightful.
I see that collection is £18 on the river. It was £4.99 in Sainsbury’s last week!
Andra Day - Cheers to the Fall
Retro soul with roots in gospel, jazz and the blues. She has also starred as Billie Holliday in the excellent film The United States vs Billie Holliday.
Imo Clive compared to some other releases, it’s worth considerably more.
War on Drugs - Slave Ambient
The great Jackie Wilson lifting me up this morning, the title track 3 minutes of pure spine tingling joy!
1967!
This guy only has to open his mouth and I get those hairs n chills
Crank it up!
Another play!

Earth Wind & Fire All 'N All / 2012 Columbia / Japan Blu-spec CD / Paper Sleeve / SICP 20358
Sounds never dissipate, they only recreate
in another place
There in your silent night
joy of a song’s delight
Another great song always makes me feel upfull and buzzing
Just feel the vibe, Up On The Roof!
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
Clouds clearing suns coming out
Yes mi selecta!
Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder!
