What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

That’s my favourite Pete closely followed by New York which I imagine is your first.

Sam Apple Pie. Self titled debut.
I saw this band at a concert at Dudley zoo in 1970 but don’t remember their performance because I was mainly interested in seeing Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Thanks to @AndyP for reminding me they were on the bill.
This album is really very very good and can’t understand why today is the first time I’ve heard it.
Thanks also to Qobuz

Birdy’s new album. Why?

Because I know its supposed to be a bit more upbeat and poppy than previous releases.

Well, it is to a certain degree but still has her signature sound on several tracks. Very nice album.

Berlin is a classic but bit too bleak to get regular plays.

Hatfield and the North - Live 1990

Even without Dave Stewart, who’s replaced by the most capable Sophia Domancich, it’s still a joy to listen to the glorious Hatfields. Besides, anything with Richard Sinclair has to be heard.

Same here I love it but it’s just hard going some days. Lou Reed was a very interesting character sadly missed now all we get a “someone’s got talent from somewhere” and they all sound the same.

Oh well mustn’t grumble. :rofl::rofl:

Indeed James. I also have the Complete Bitches Brew and Complete Miles Davis/Gil Evans Columbia Studio Recordings boxes. There are a couple of Ellingtons I would love to get too.

But anyone can show me a picture of their Ben Shermans on their hangers, in the wardrobe, rather than the “in use” picture, with buttons straining, and a hint of belly fat on display.

Either that, or you’re just showing off. :flushed: :joy: :joy:

George Benson - The Other Side Of Abbey Road, featuring a lovely version of “Oh Darling” in which he slows it down a touch and it becomes a different song.
