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

For some reason, I have decided to only play albums from 1979 this evening. UK first press vinyl of this classic. “Path Of Least Resistance”, “Almost Medieval”, “Blind Youth”… this was definitely the future back then.

Just been listening to this myself. Since all the upgrades to TT and the system, I have been going through my old albums in a haphazard way and this came out.

‘Please Please Me’ - The Beatles

‘There’s a Place’ is such a great track.

Really in the mood for this 1995 beauty. Fairly groundbreaking at the time? Broke ground in the USA seven years later, strangely.

Arrived today. UK first press in fantastic condition, same age as Mrs R (she’s in good nick, too!) Sounds wonderful on the nearfield system.

TIDAL …Hi Res

‘Bryter Layter’ - Nick Drake

An album that, for me, will always be associated with the dark days of Covid lockdowns. In early March 2020 I’d just purchased a system and, later that month, there wasn’t a lot to do other than order copious amounts of vinyl via Mr Bezos. I’d heard of Nick Drake many times but, other than a track on a ‘Q Magazine’ CD compilation from the early 90s, he was a void in my own music back catalogue.

Jeez, what a ‘bryte’ light he turned out to be during those horrible times. Magnificent album, and my favourite of the three.

After a prompt from @AndyP and while I have my Oppo set up it’s time for


Eric Clapton - There’s One In Every Crowd, a Tom Dowd quad mix downmixed to stereo. Some nice subtle differences.

Third from 1979, the mighty Magazine’s second (rather controversial) album, on UK first press vinyl. Despite the mixed reviews, it contains some of their strongest material: “Permafrost”, “Feed The Enemy” etc.
