Led Zeppelin ll - Japanese SHM remaster.
Part of the SHM boxset, which gets much love here on the forum, and which I’m so glad I bought at the time of it’s release, as it goes for silly money these days … (and there’s lot’s of dodgy copies about, too).
LOUD, mind.

Seeing this and " Strange Trails" posted over the last few months, decided to give the band a try. Enjoying the album so far on this first run.

On BBC Sounds, a sensational selection of weird, wonderful and downright bizarre Fabs cover, selected by Mr Maconie. Well worth two hours of your time.

Yes, I thought it a good read, and it provided a great insight into that unique sound.
Currently working my way through this one:
Sounds Like London - 100 Years of Black Music in the Capital - by Lloyd Bradley.
'S a bit good, innit … though, sadly, no mention of that long lost East End nightclub, the name of which has slipped through my ageing memory filters.

Thea Gilmore - Rules for Jokers
I’ve enjoyed this album since the early noughties. She paints pictures and tells stories with her lyrics. The lyrics, coupled with her great voice and delicate arrangements, make for a thoroughly enjoyable album.

Tanz Der Lemminge | 1971
The Throbbers were always a hard act to follow but some fine old Amon Düül II will do very nicely.

Donald Fagen - The Nightfly, although I must be one of a very small group on the forum who owns no Steely Dan other than a best of ( " burn the heretic! " ), I have always enjoyed this album, ever since hearing " New Frontier " on TOGWT all those years ago.

Foy Vance -Signs of Life
Foy Vance (Drums, Guitar, Piano, Vocals), Ella Vance (Vocals), Gareth Dunlop (Bass, Drums, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Lute, Mandolin, Mellotron, Percussion, Piano, Synthesizer, Vibraphone, Vocals), Al Gamble (Hammond Organ), Colm McClen (Electric Guitar), Conor McCreanor (Bass) and Craig Milton (Guitar).
Streaming on Qobuz (48/24)… eased into this late morning while folding laundry with Foy and his ‘Signs of Life’ album and the music is sounding sublime! The first Monday of the new year and time to start getting things done after a couple of weeks relaxing around the holidays. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and safe 2022… Life is sweet and so is the music!
