One of the greatest live albums ever.

It’s the Rhino mono CD. I only ever ‘play’ CDs once, ripping to Core. When I play them it’s actually streamed and this mono version of the album sounds very good, as I said above.

We’ll never mind Pete, it’s still an iconic image.

I expect its the CD edition of the Rhino 2LP, not heard the CD but the vinyl is superb too.

Yup, that’s for sure. Sadly, I was too young to see them live. I only heard about them in the ‘80s when a friend gave me a cassette of jazz and blues tracks he thought I’d like. Since then I’ve got quite a sizeable collection of John McLaughlin’s output.

That’s the one. It had the same label on it (apart from the 180g bit), which is in the bin now.

The Who’s Next shots were taken on the way back down south from a gig in Scotland, Easington Colliery was the the location, up the road from me, and pretty close to @Blackstar . Quite a bizarre shoot!

The Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame

Inspired by Steviebee. It was from this album that my friend had chosen tracks for me to hear via cassette tape. It’s been a favourite ever since I got my first copy on CD.

Paul McCartney and Wings - Rockshow, on dvd. Highly recommended listen for anybody who appreciates the Wings Over America album, as this collection has a more “live” sound to it and a more cohesive feel that gives the impression that you are listening to one complete concert. It rocks!

New album Southern Star just out and worth a laid back listen. Loved Brent Cobb albums especially Keep Em on they toes, so been waiting patiently for his latest release. It doesn’t disappoint …. hope you enjoy

Record. Zero 7 compilation. Zero 7 were one of my wife’s lockdown discoveries. They were really good imho.

Manfred Mann’s Earth Band | Angel Station | 1979
Because it’s been a while and I enjoy early MMEB… I first bought this and their Solar Fire from a stall of knock off cassettes in downtown Cairo when I was living and working in the Egyptian delta at the turn of the 70s.

I too like a bit of Zero 7.
