I’ve got a terrible cold, my head hurts, and I need some music that won’t hurt. Wonderful singer songwriter album.

Larry Carlton Alone/But Never Alone / 1986 MCA / US CD / MCAD5689

Had exactly the same US LP issue as you @Debs, until I gave it to a guitar player friend of mine. The CD version sounds excellent too.

Stephen Still & Judy Collins - Everybody Knows - WAV CD rip
More non-head-hurting music, 2019(?) album from the two folk-rock stalwarts. Judy’s voice sounds incredible for someone approaching 80 at the time, still pure, and she interprets the songs beautifully, Stills offering sensitive guitar work.

I just got the old girl back today with a new Hercules II fitted. So now that I can play 45s I thought of no better way to add to my Primus collection!

Stills & Collins - Everbody Knows

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention from @Eoink above had me reach for the album and put into the queue and now taking out for a spin and the duet are sounding mighty sweet! …a trip down memory lane.

Apparently Sandy invented the title Unhalfbricking in a word game and the British LP cover shows her parents Neil and Edna Denny- posing in front of their home in Arthur Road, Wimbledon.

Sandy Denny - A Boxful of Treasures CD 5 - WAV CD rip
Judy’s lovely mature version of Who Knows Where The Time Goes brought me to this CD of Sandy’s home recordings and demo versions. One of the all-time great singer-songwriters with guitar or piano interpreting her wonderful songs. And coincidentally following @Stokie mentioning her.

CD 5 is the coveted one. Though I’d buy the set if I ever saw it at a sensible price. The BBC and home recordings are a revelation without the lush strings on her later releases.

10,000Hz Legend - Air

One of the very best uses of surround sound format. All after the event of the original recoding, of course. Really works.

Thomas William Hill Asylum For Eve Village Green Records.

An initially nteresting album from this young composer with Baroque/Reich influences. I suppose near ambient, not a genre I take to easily, but as a first album I await what he’ll do with those influences later on. It’s nice - but…

Hoping he’s not going to just be yoga music or similar bland chillout pap.
