I put off buying this album for various reasons. Picked it up with my Qobuz sublime discount and I’m really enjoying it - great production. Robbie’s voice never was great and there is an absence of guitar but his songwriting is supreme.
The Band, Live in 71. 2xCD. I grew thinking/believing wrongly that " The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" was an old tradition folk song, passed down through generations. It is brilliant and moving IMHO.
Picked this up at our local charity shop this morning……Brendan Croker on backing vocals. Always liked the Notting Hillbillies…….i kick myself i never heard them live….played Snape Maltings near Ipswich. Missed that one.
Bought originally on double vinyl, then cd, ripped to core but tonight it’s lofi from iPad iTunes library to Bluetooth speaker. Sounds good on anything.
Pete, you never own the music. You may own the media it is on but that is all.
Purchasing an LP or a CD just gives you licence to play it for the time you own the media.
But you know this , and I do see your point and share your sentiments.
Best wishes.
