The Delines - The Sea Drift
This band is magic…
From the first notes, the sound is absolutely divine, mellow, with its languid soul rhythm, its electric piano straight out of an old Tony Joe White, its strings coming out of nowhere, its subtle brass, and the singer’s voice… Amy Boone has a magic timber.
Herbie Mann. London Underground.
Posted by @anon10403888 excellent album from 1974 and Herb is ably assisted by some top musicians including my favourite guitarist Mick Taylor.
Qobuz
Link Wray. Essential early recordings.
Move over Mick Taylor. Change of pace and era as I tick off daily chores.
In a folk mood today. Although this was just a giveaway some years ago, the SQ on tracks recorded live from York Minster is superb.
@steviebee I was just trying to place a date on it. Does it sound like the YouTube I posted?
I note adapted in brackets. maybe he had Soul Syndicate play a version of the riddim and had it dub mixed by Tubby or Scientist and had someone toast over it. Or got a copy of the tape from Joe Gibbs and did a dub mix of it. Does Dennis Brown actually sing straight on it or is it just snatches of his vocal.
One of those fascinating and obscure things in JA music that intrigue trainspotting fans like me.
Cant find any files of it online to hear
Who happens to play solo on two of my favourites Stones tracks: Can’t You Hear Me Knocking and Time Waits For No One.
Nice!
In 1968 I sold my 1966 first press mono and bought a stereo version, one of my only vinyl regrets!

Dedicated play for @Debs on the 6 month anniversary of her missing cat Morpheus.
My ProAc Response One’s are being collected by their new owner today so I’m warming the speakers up with a selection, including The Perfect Circle, Mer de Noms. For their diminutive size, the Responses are sounding great.
Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds
Not a PF album I play that often (I’m certain this is the first time I’ve played it for at least 20 years!), probably because it’s made up of short tracks, which if it hadn’t been a film soundtrack, I’m sure would normally have been developed and extended. Childhood’s End is probably the most interesting track here.
I hope to visit it again before 2042!
Dennis sings on the first section of the A side, with keyboard dubby ‘sparkles’ if that makes sense. Second half of the song is a toast, but it’s not BY, and it’s not the same cut as you posted.
Avocet. Bert Jansch, with the unmistakable playing of Danny Thompson on upright bass. Lovely.
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
Some themes to ponder.
Wonder if Keef gave him credit for that 
There is that as well. You might also enjoy this:
