Heard quite a few new likes (for me) on this radio. Good job radio paradise!
Original title was to be “World’s Greatest Guitar Player (There’s One in Every Crowd)”.
Eric Clapton - There’s One in Every Crowd
A difficult one but a couple of tracks on this album are wonderful- The Sky is Crying and the Clapton penned Better Make It Through The Day.
George Harrison wrote a song about the dog on the cover Jeep.
Oh my god!!
I’ve commented before about how previously a testosterone ridden schoolboy discovered the amazing fusion of blues’n’rock that was Free, but in ´74 just as I left school this emerged from the carnage of that band, I bought it with some of my wages from my part time job in Waitrose.
Just played for the first time since the upgrades to my tonearm, cartridge and amps. WOW Boz Burrell’s syncopated (fretless) bass parts, when Simon Kirke kicks into the chorus with a snap on the snare on the title track, and his rolls on Ready For Love, Mick Ralph’s opening guitar strike on Movin’ On, and that glorious voice (Mr Rodgers) throughout but on Seagull just accompanied by a 12 string and minimal percussion.
And there was nothing “digital” about this.
Happy new year guys.
Regards,
Lindsay
Here you are:
Side 1 . Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is a Warm Gun. Blackbird. I Will.
Side 2 I’m So Tired. Birthday, Yer Blues, Mother Nature’s Son, Helter Skelter, Sexy Sadie.
To be honest it probably needs 3 sides. If I hade the technology, ( I don’t) I would make a play list.
I listened to Rev 9 this week. I think George Martin had lost control by this time.
The music is available on vinyl, but you would probably have to source a used copy. As an alternative it was also later released on cd.

I think a “song” is pushing it Andy , decent jam though
The Beatles - Let It Be, spinning the blu-ray disc from the box set.
Andy another track which I love on the album is Little Racheal.
Happy New Year mate

My condolences Neil, I recognise the feelings and my thoughts are with you.
Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat - Tidal 16/44
Wonderful performances of Leonard Cohen songs, with the approval of Laughing Len himself.
The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds, first play of the blu-ray disc. What a difference in presentation from the cd/stereo version with a DR5 , as opposed to the Dolby Atmos with a DR of 12/13. So much more space around the music and can be turned up loud. Really loud!
Following my current fascination with Porcupine Tree I’m now listening to Closure/Continuation Live on the 5.1 Blu-ray recording. Quite staggering…
