1st run
George Michael. Older. 1996. To my ears, easily his best, and well recorded.
David Bowie Tonight
Japanese EMI America.
Not perhaps everyone’s favourite Bowie album, but I like it!
Levitation Orchestra - Illusions & Realities (Gearbox)
Enjoying this fusion of Classical, Jazz and some spoken word
A which-copies-to-keep scenario. I have 4 (3 US, 1 UK).
US Mono/UK cover. Can’t remember if the mono mix is dedicated or a fold…
Steve Miller Band, Sailor 1968.
Been belatedly enjoying Brinsley Forde’s (formerly of Aswad) debut album, which came out nearly 10 years ago (already!)
Brinsley Forde - Urban Jungle (JahSolidRock)
Harks back to the sound of Aswad when they were on top of their game before they went down the more pop/commercial road.

A mention from @QuickSticks in the gigs forum had me digging out from Qobuz Mammoth WVH
Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie VH’s son
Pleasant, but I won’t be exercising the wallet moths
Mammoth WVH - eponymous album
I had much the same opinion on the Vinyl and the stage.
Definitely got some maturing to do…
its been a very melodic and yet eclectic mix so far today…
Anais Mitchell - Xoa to wake up
CSN for the drive to do my visiting carer task for my sons cat whilst they’re away
Sting - Brand New Day, because why not
Now this is more like it for a chilly day in North Yorkshire moving stone and building a little wall.
If this any indication of their gig last night, wish I’d seen it
Halestorm - Back From The Dead
Roachford. Debut album 1988. Vinyl. Great voice. Seen him twice live, once when touring his “Permanent Shade of Blue” album and also as singer/keyboards in “Mike and the Mechanics” more recently.
@VinoVeritas Halestorm’s section of the gig last night was excellent, but a shadow of the “An Evening with Halestorm” we were at earlier in the year.
If you ever get an opportunity to go see them as a support or HEADLINE, do it! I promise, you won’t be disappointed!!
On vinyl…
Impossible to listen to this now without mental image of Alan Partridge miming along to ‘Cuddly Toy’ whilst driving!
