The Beach Boys | All Summer Long | 1964 / 2014
I sometimes treat myself to some SACD recordings of my favourite old music and this is one of them in Hi-Res Mono. This album was one of the first I ever bought and played to destruction.

Done with side A. Wonderful so far.
If it continues like this, Mr Jarrett can be satisfied with perhaps his last album.

Vanessa-Mae “The Violin Player” . Great Violin melodies. Classic mixed with rock makes interesting and different music.

On vinyl: Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time. I’m not sure where this was pressed, but it’s a fine sounding bit of vinyl.

Yes, this 1969-70 era is my favourite Miles period.
Muddy Waters - Sings “Big Bill”, the songs of “Big Bill” Broonzy.

Some more vinyl
This seems to have got lots of mixed reviews at the time of release in 1981 but I have always loved it and saw her touring this album in a barn somewhere near Navan, Co. Meath that same year (I think!!). Great backing band, produced by Tony Visconti and contains a fabulous version of The Stranglers’ “Hanging Around”.

Most probably a warm up gig for the very first Slane Castle gig headlined by Thin Lizzy in August 1981.
She was good there too!

I was at that Slane gig in 1981 as well, not in the traditional “bowl” by the river which has been the venue since 1982. I remember Thin Lizzy and U2 but can’t remember anyone else! I must be getting old!
