What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

They’re great mixes in as far they are stereo done well.

However, a good -1/-1 mono pressing (not all that hard to find or too expensive) is a really fantastic way to hear how they wanted it to be heard.

Not one over the other exactly, but worth having both.

The mono master in the 2014 vinyl box is good, but for me an excellent condition early pressing is the gold standard.

Annie Lennox - A Christmas Cornucopia, I think that Annie’s vocal talents, elevate this festive album from the normal fare.

Christine Perfect, the legendary Christine Perfect album. I live under a rock. Didn’t know Christine McVie is Christine Perfect. Why change if you already have the perfect name? :upside_down_face: Thank you @AndyP for mentioning this album. :blush:

John McVie, who to me seems a very good guy, always said, “She was Perfect until she married me!”

Back in good old Blighty and ready for some Bedtime Tunes.
Something I heard a bit of at our favourite breakfast place in Barcelona this week.


It’s a bit of a departure from my usual tuneage, but it’s very restful😊

Leo Kottke - 6 & 12 String Guitar.

How he could do that with only ten fingers and thumbs totally defeats me.

It’s on a par with Nathan Milstein playing Bach’s Solo Sonatas and Partitas for astonishing super-virtuosity!

Just giving Jesse Winchester’s second album a spin and remember getting a thanks a couple of years ago from @Gazza and @igahman for posting the first album.

I see one of our forum stalwarts @igahman hasn’t posted in a while.

For my money this is his best album.
