This album was a free download at one stage from Danger Mouse’s website. I think there was some dispute with the record company so he put it out anyway. Really good mix of artists on it as I recall.
Thanks for the reminder Tony.

Guru - Jazzmatazz vol.1 - 1993
Nice vibe to this album, and great contributions from Byrd, Ayers, Pine, Marsalis etc.
@Adam1 my copy is the same, first track differs on cover and disc, maybe reissue in 2016 sorted this out?

Cracking album and mine sounds fantastic so a printing error is the easiest issue to live with.
Mine probably is a 2016 reissue, so no probably not but maybe that means it’s true to the original release, mistakes and all.
I did have a run of ordering Yazoo CD’s and the recorded CD was entirely the wrong album to all the cover and labels. Only time I’ve ever had that.

John Peel circa 1981.

Rankin Dread - Lots Of Lovin
Bow Wow Wow - Uomo Sex Al Apache
Bauhaus - Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores
Ry Cooder - Crazy About An Automobile

The Spurts - I Won’t
Simple Minds - Kaleidoscope
Splodginess Abounds - Malcolm’s Mum pts 1,2 & 3 (“significantly unpleasant” JP)

Cravats - All Around The Corner
Bow Wow Wow - Fools Rush In
Cuban Heels - Walk On Water
Modern Eon - Euthenics
Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
Echo And The Bunnymen - Do It Clean

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention from @AndyP above had me place “Circle In The Round” in the queue and now taking out for a spin… and the second track ‘Love for Sale’ is sounding sublime and looking forward to the rest of the album!

Bill Frisell - When You Wish Upon a Star
I love Bill’s playing. His harmonisation, which often sounds quite ‘outside’, catches me by surprise, but always works. I wish I could play more like this.

Joining @Pete_the_painter in enjoying the new album from The Coral. With this one and their last, Coral Island, they really have perfected their wistful psych-pop. Fabulous stuff

Some belters on that Ms Murphy album, played it earlier. Wasn’t too taken by the Chems, but will give it another go.
Some K&D currently providing the backdrop to this sunday eve’s listening …

Listening to this. Why?
Only really listened to his Columbia and Riverside output. There is some lovely tunes here. Mostly with his 2nd quintet.
Miles is growing on me.
Just wish he and the great Bill didn’t do more together.
