Nancy Sinatra, boots! Happy birthday Nancy! This is where it all started. These boots are made for walkin’. 
It’s been on constant rotation at my place since it’s release. Wonderful album.
Prince Come / 1994 Warner / US CD / 9457002
Celebrating the life of Prince with a spin of this often overlooked release.
Joining in with the Prince appreciation, haven’t played this in a while
The Beautiful Experience, based around " The Most Beautiful Girl In The World " track, only Prince could form 7 different versions of the same song and make it interesting.
Ah, the album before he became a symbol

Prince, the very best of Prince. Thanks @TheKevster @GeoffC & @Debs for the birthday reminder! Looks like many of my fav Prince tracks are here. 
Prince - Ultimate, a two disc affair this one. I don’t think the first disc has even been out of the case, but the second one is brill, containing dance/ extended mixes.
Haven’t listened to Alan Parsons for a while. A turn of a friendly card - just a brilliant concept album which has a particular resonance with me (don’t get me started on betting company advertising). Followed by The Fall of the House of Usher - dark and moody with the scene set by Orson Wells - if you hav never heard this do so. You have been told!!
@Eoink and @seakayaker
Thank you for the warm welcome: you have my warmest wishes for the future and I also wish everyone here my kindest wishes

The National - I Am Easy To Find
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… returning from a 3.5 mile walk around the neighborhood with my wife this afternoon upon returning home and taking 'The National’ 2019 release and enjoying the light tunes while sitting down with a cup of decaf… and the music is sounding mighty sweet!
