I saw them at the Rainbow in (possibly) 1971. A fabulous night, where my girlfriend Penny and I were the youngest people in the audience by about a decade. Penny loved it too, but still dumped me a few months later. I’ve never forgiven Steve Miller, although it’s possible he had nothing to do with her decision. :slightly_smiling_face:

Joni Mitchell, blue. Not enough of Joni Mitchell, quite nice listening to the good old originals after listening to the Joni Mitchell at the Newport Folks Festival album. :smiling_face:

‘Signing Off’ - UB40

Superb debut album from 1980. The sound of the bass on this album is one of the best in my vinyl collection.
