Happy 76th Birthday John Paul Jones! 
born on 3rd January 1946 in Sidcup, Kent, England 
I know I keep posting this, but, if you find yourself otherwise busy at home, then it really is the perfect background sounds.
All day reggae, what could be better.
gaining courage to hear this.
I need to be in the right mood…
the cure, Pornography (1982)
Deep Purple - Burn, my favourite Purple album.
Just back from my Welsh rural offline fortnight.
So firstly Happy and hopefully healthy new year all.
Took a lot of new music via Qobuz offline to check out and this turned out to be a favourite.
Dr Lonnie Smith - Breathe (Qobuz HiRes)
Following on from his previous All In The Mind this is another superb set, Iggy Pop even guests.
Vinyl soon come, I cant wait!
No napping toddlers or hungover kids so fill the house with music. My last year’s fave - Trini/Brit poet with great complementary Brit jazz musical accompaniment (Jason Yarde, Shabaka Hutchings etc). Don’t be put off by the title, the pomes are about belonging/family/race/ migration. If you like Gil Scott-Heron do try this.
One of my favourite Cannonball albums. The original Riverside versions are definitely superior in sound quality terms than the remastered versions. IMO of course, ymmv.
I have a DCC copy of the album which sounds really good however I agree that anytime you are looking to get an OJC/Riverside album the best copies are the originals, forget the remasters.
Robin Trower. Bridge of sighs.
Procol Harum. A salty dog.
Back to back. @Gazza prompted me to play Mr. Trower and that prompted me to play my favourite Procol album.
Mike Oldfield - Five Miles Out.
Got a soft spot for Mike.
Lady Blackbird - Black Acid Soul (Foundation Music LP)
I’m surprised how little new music I bought in '21, plenty of great reissues though. This is one that made the cut and got a lot of love on this thread. Pity there were so many rogue pressings out there, I luckily got a good un
Bob Marley. Exodus. Time to play this while I prepare tea.
But I’ve got to play it loud because I’m in a different room
