Azymuth Tightrope Walker / 1986 Milestone / US CD / MCD91432
REM - Murmer
On CD. Charity shop find.
From the late 70s “Blue Box” LP set.
Strange and enlightening hearing this version having accustomed my ears to the 50th Anniversary Giles Martin mix. I really enjoy both.
Julie Felix - Rock Me Goddess
Wonderful album from the 60’s folk queen, recorded at the age of 80 in 2018 two years before she died.
What is their first?
Imo 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
Sam Rivers - Contours (Blue Note Tone Poet version)
I’ve just made an appointment to hear the new Radikal 2 in a back to back demo against Radikal 1, so thought I’d exercise my Radikal 1 by using one of the best pressings I have in my collection. On the basis of this record, I can’t really see how the Rad 1 can be improved!
Mid morning radio with the DJ formerly known as Anne Frankenstein (now Deb Grant). Always a great eclectic mix.
Plum label, but red vinyl - Whoa!
Always enjoyed listening to her Saturday afternoon show in my car while I was on the way to Bath every week to see my Dad. Agree about her great and varied music choices, a lot of which are in my collection! I must make the effort to catch her daily morning show when I am working online at home.
First time I’ve given New Morning a spin in years.
Sounds good (while doing weights and stretching).
Steven Wilson - 4 1/2
Vinyl mini album comprising a few songs which were recorded during the Raven and H.C.R. sessions, but didn’t make it onto either album.
Be Bop Deluxe - ‘Live! in the Airage’ (1977). CD version from 1990. This 1977 live album has always been a favourite, especially ‘Mill St. Junction’ and ‘Adventures…’. I have got the box set of 15 CDs released last year with lots more material from the 1977 tour. Looking forward to starting on that lot but this familiar recording is a nice way to start…
