Thanks to @SimonDC, @Steve_S & @markah for your recommendations regarding TOOL starting album.
I’ve gone with Fear Inoculum and after 8 minutes of the first track I’m hooked…
I really do not understand why I’ve never listened to them before…

Streaming the “sessions” disc of so called “Jamaican extended mixes” etc. To be honest, for me this and the BBC Concert introduced by Pete Drummond (which I still have a tape of somewhere) is the only part of this much hyped 50th Anniversary set that interests me and thats also assuming the BBC concert sounds good (its not included on the stream version
I thought these might just be reworkings of the misleadingly titled “unreleased original Jamaican versions” from the 2002 Deluxe Edition that were actually superb mixes specially prepared in 2001 by Errol Brown for that set.
Anyway, pleased to hear that these alternatives arent the same, so at least something fresh here, but the rest of the set I can happily dispense with.

Thanks John, I’ll see if I can stream and decide if the extra’s are an upgrade on the original press.
Cheers

I always think of Joe Cocker’s version of that Beatles song as the theme tune to ‘The Wonder Years’ - a beautiful, gentle series about a young lad growing up in America.

Great - another member to the Tool Army!
Pneuma - track 2 - is my personal favourite from that album. There are some “unusual” tracks shall we say on some of the albums but they do tell a story when you listen closely - the more you listen the better they get!
And then there is A Perfect Circle and Puscifer - Maynard’s other bands… oh and I mustn’t forget Ashes Divide and Billy Howerdel…

I know where you’re coming from, what’s sad is that most of the music I have been listening too over the last few weeks, the artiste(s) are no longer with us.
WRTI Jazz Internet radio (my favourite jazz station).
Whilst listening to “Jazz Night in America” a programme curated by Christian McBride last Sunday he introduced Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band and Cedar Walton (a jazz pianist and composer) neither of whom were familiar to me.
I checked the All Music rankings and chose several albums to favourite on Qobuz. Now enjoying.
Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band - Swingin’ For The Fences
Cedar Walton - Blues For Myself
Perhaps forum members will highlight other albums they like by these two artists.

Darkness falling reading a gothic novel so for an appropriate accompaniment some heavy keys led prog with a thunderous rhythm section - Quatermass their one and only album (why no more?) Iconic cover and still sounds great after all these years. Tidalised - my Harvest vinyl pretty much unplayable only kept for old times sake.

A great album. There was a ‘reformation’ in the mid-90’s but only with drummer Mick Underwood.
J. Peter Robinson appears on Bowie’s Low album.
