JS : B3 - The Very Best Of Jimmy Smith, i have many compilations by the Hammond maestro, but this is particularly good, as it features tracks from more obscure later albums, that were recorded for labels not called Verve.

Jethro Tull: Broadsword 40th Anniversary Monster Edition remixed by Steven Wilson. Have to say I think it is fantastic… And I love this whole boxed set with all the background story and essentially an unreleased live album of a gig on the broadsword tour in Germany.

Hey man dont be daft you couldnt possibly offend me. Irrelevant, meaningless streams of banality that accompany many of your posts on an open forum do make you fair game for satire in my view though.
Just ribbing :kissing_heart:

Sorry if I didnt give props to @AndyP. It was earlier today and these days I have the memory capacity of a goldfish :+1:
