No apologies for re-playing and posting this one again, possibly one of his best albums even at the age of 67. Such an underrated artist it’s good to be playing him again.

Borrowed this from my boss and left it on my power amp back in the day when you could fry an egg on it.
Came home and the vinyl was a like a Dali-esque clock running over the side of the amp. Had to nip into Our Price the next day and buy a new copy - slipped it in the sleeve and he never said a word. Phew still sends a shiver down my spine!

Musical fidelity A1?

You know I think it was - not sure if that was the integrated version and I had the power amp.
I was a big fan of Musical Fidelity ending up with the monster A1000 amp before moving over to Naim.

John Mellencamp - No Better Than This
John Mellencamp (Acoustic Guitar, Vocals), Jay Bellerose (Drums, Percussion), T-Bone Burnett (Acoustic Guitar (Electric Guitar), Marc Ribot (Banjo, Electric Guitar), David Roe (Bass), Miriam Sturm (Violin) and Andy York (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on through the noon hour with John Mellencamp and this fantastic group of musicians and they are sounding mighty sweet! From the review: "No Better Than This is its sound: mono – recorded live to an Ampex 601 tape recorder circa 1955, with a single microphone without mixing or overdubs. Its warmth and presence are immediate and engulfing." One of my favorite of John’s and well worth the time to give a listen…

Late reading this Kev, but yes fond memories. I only saw him once on this tour at Manchester. I’ll never forget the opening with the screen sliding to reveal the ‘real’ band. He was in fine voice that evening I felt.
