Grateful Dead. Anthem of the sun.
Alphabetically chosen by the iPod.
Although I usually concentrate on the live albums.
More pleasant Sunday vinyl.
Well I put my demo playlist on for the umpteenth time lately, to get a view of how things had improved with the addition of the XPS.
Got 4 tracks in and decided I couldn’t just sit here in ‘evaluation mode’ listening to a defined list.
Time for some joy…
Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark😊
UK 1st pressing A1 B1 1974 Polydor. Jan Akkerman a much underrated guitarist I think. Check out last track on side 1 Birth absolutely on fire.
Could almost be a karaoke album, certainly it’s one to sing along to. Vinyl.
Another one in the series of the Hi Res knocks the socks off of the 16 bit CD version.
Joan Armatrading - Show Some Emotion
A stellar backing band including Jerry Donahue, Georgie Fame, Tim Hinkley and Mel Collins with production from Glyn Johns.
Steve Miller Band
Your Saving Grace
Japan press.
It ain’t Sailor or Brave New World granted, but I love it.
‘Magical Mystery Tour’ - The Beatles
Been listening to The Fabs a lot this weekend - maybe I’ll seek the Red and Blues from Santa next month.
Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night - 2003
There you go! ‘Let’s have a listen to some ‘recent’ Pat’, I thought to myself. Twenty years gone in the blink of an eye.
Great stuff on this murky damp eve.
Vaughan Williams. A Pastoral Symphony. Sir Adrian Boult. Premiered in 1922, this recording from 1950, I think. Lovely.
Kate Rusby - Chronology: Hippo’s, Heroes and Christmas. (a mixtape by Mrs G and I).
Mrs. G and I have collaborated on a mixtape of our favorite songs from each of Kate Rusby’s 20 albums.
It’s been a long long time since we did such a thing, and we were like our younger selves again. So much fun!
