Grace Jones Island Life / 2018 Island / Germany CD / 8424532
Ahh, love it @TheKevster, one of my all time favourites and on my desert island list!
Actually I am going to have to play it now!
Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, CD rip. More Floyd-age? Well why not! Still think this is one of the most entertaining Pink albums.
Prompted by @TheKevster in a recent post I just had to put it on, not that I needed much prompting! My much loved ‘72 press of this monumental live album.
So I some how managed to create this image!
It was on my iPad but I have no idea how it happened! I kind of like it!
And when I ‘open’ the pic it looks like this…
These guys were my submission to the “Guess the Band Name” thread earlier. Thought I’d give their new release a first listen as my last for today…
Now playing…

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this busy morning with Paul Simon’s Graceland and he and this talented group of musicians are sounding sublime! Always brings a smile to my face…
Given the heavy PF bias on this thread right now, today seems as good a day as any to revisit this box set from 2011.
At the time there were lots of complaints about the price, the duplication of content, and the addition of pointless extras such as a scarf, marbles and cardboard coasters, but compared to the forthcoming 50th Anniversary farce, I mean box, this looks to be a great value proposition.
Listening to Disc 2, the live at Wembley (16 and 17 November 1974) material, as recorded by the BBC.
The Beatles - Abbey Road Anniversary CD rip. Loved listening to The Pinks today, but time for a reset with The Fabs.
A tip for making money - buy shares in this woman she going to be huge.
Veronica Swift - This Bitter Earth
Lemonheads: It’s a shame about Ray. Love my drug buddys.
