More from Airbag and a little sooner than I had thought as my server has lost a couple of tracks off the previous album.

Sibelius, Violin Concerto, Heifetz with the Chicago Symphony. JVC XRCD.
A bit bright in the upper registers on my system (never heard it on another) - I’d love to hear the original Living Stereo LP.

The one released as a single in '94.

First heard it as I strolled into a pub and it was belting out on the video jukebox … … remember those?

Totally transfixed was I.

A live recording, so the SQ here isn’t stunning, but the music is always interesting and adventurous.

One of my favourite albums of the last few years . :sob:

Settling in for Citeh Atleti with some classic British reggae from Misty In Roots. I usually put on Live at Counter Euro or Wise and Foolish so for a change Earth. Great rhythms harmonies and a bit of brass with a political/eco message that belies its age. On lovely People Unite vinyl.
