Yes, on the list, particularly because it’s the nearfield system I’m thinking of upgrading.

I rate this and Roxy as his best.
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. 2X Vinyl. Live 1975. ( Nine Tonight Live from 1981 is also great imho.)
“…however, the entire ‘Live’ Bullet recording captured a Detroit artist at the height of his energy and creativity, in front of a highly appreciative hometown crowd. 'Live’ Bullet also captured the wild and free spirit of rock concerts in the seventies, and has great historic value in that regard.” WIKI.

For years we’ve been asking each other “Is that a Sears [fill in the blank] or a Mexican ______.” Another “Montana” pun.
I suppose that’s a sign of being with the right partner – sharing a childish sense of humor!

Beatles 1968. Old Vinyl. A lot of this is brilliant. Some of it is not. Lack of editorial control imho, Lol.

I have never been much of an Eagles fan over the years, but Mrs M has been. My appreciation for them has changed though, firstly influenced by seeing them live in Dublin years ago and now by being on here.
Being part of this group has been hugely influential, not just for the Naim appreciation but also appreciation for music.
I was hoking through her old LPs and deary me most are in a sorry state! To many parties in her younger days, self confessed I might add! However there are a few that are in surprisingly good condition and this is one of them. It’s an early pressing and sounds great! Sadly the same cannot be said for her copy of The Long Run.

Taylor Swift - Fearless - CD
Having a day playing number one albums, this is one of them, if I need to have an excuse.
At the end of 2008 Taylor started a seven-week run at No.1 on the US album charts with Fearless. The album was the best-selling album of 2009, making Swift, 18 at the time of the album’s release, the youngest artist to have the best-selling album of a calendar year. The album is certified diamond by RIAA and has sold over 7.18 million copies so far.
