Hope you enjoy Keyboard King.

While the Soul Jazz Studio One comps are pretty good, they are mostly various artist grab bag comps sourced from original Ja singles.
If you want to go down a Studio One rabbit hole and check out some of the labels original albums on CD sourced from master tape then Canadian label Heartbeat Studio One Masters Series should be checked out. I have most of them, their good and avoids navigating the minefield of often horrendous Jamaican Studio One pressings.
Incidentally, Chris Wilson who ran the Heartbeat Series, now continues working with Courtney Dodd the son of Clement Dodd re releasing Studio One on vinyl and digital.

Trapeze - You Are The Music…We’re Just The Band

[SimonDC]

Couldn’t do a prog night without a bit of fairly early Genesis

Genesis - Live

[Debs]

[Hanumike]

Another great album from my growing Jason Isbell collection

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - The Nashville Sound

[Naimsw]

You probably have these but I can recommend the two solo albums by Gary Boyle that followed the break up of Isotope, ‘The Dancer’ (1977) and ‘Electric Glide’ (1978) which both originally came out on the Gull label. Great instrumental jazz rock.

Tears for Fears, songs from the big chair.

[Graeme]

The Corrs - Home.
Some reworked old Irish songs and covers.

[twofifty]

Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O : Umdali. I like South African Jazz & I like the sound of a nice trombone. Jiyane’s first as leader, as they say. Very spiritual. Vinyl.

Susan Tedeschi, 25th Anniversary Edition of Just Won’t Burn.

[johnt]

Thanks I will have a listen. I was in a mood for reminiscing this evening and I was trying to remember the Croydon Greyhound Sunday night gigs from 50 odd years ago and I pulled out of my old grey matter some of the more obscure bands that played there, one of which was Isotope and the other bands I have played this evening. Quite a time trip

‘Electric Glide’ (1978) which both originally came out on the Gull label. Great instrumental jazz rock.

As you probably are aware, this fine recording was the second release on the naim label, remastered by Julian Vereker.

[QuickSticks]

Bedtime tunes, must order the vinyl tomorrow

[Graeme]

Joan Baez - Diamonds And Rust In The Bullring.
“Recorded live in Bilbao, Spain bullring”. (not a shopping centre in Birmingham).

[davidng]

Dire Straits, brothers in arms. Never gets old.

[DeeKay]

Re-living my youth; mix tape from ‘86 and a photo of some of its provenance from around that time. NAD 7155 Technics SLP-111 & Nak 480 with PL-12D out of frame on a bedside cabinet IIRC. Tape sounds surprisingly good on Nak 300e.

Sorry Graeme, rusty at this & replied to your thread instead of general reply!

Enjoying this jazz playlist on Qobuz:

[davidng]

Pink Martini, splendor in the grass.

[Graeme]

Nice to see someone else enjoying cassettes.
