Don’t know what all this fuss regarding a new release is all about 
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon on this brilliant sacd.

Another vote for being a bit disappointed after the first play at the weekend. The gloominess is not unexpected and I’ll certainly give it another go.
Ultra getting a spin from this long-time Mode fan.

A change of format and a change in music - couldn’t resist a little more Kraftwerk….
Letting the 282/250 do their stuff - amazing the difference from 202/200!

Marti Caine. They Definitely don’t make them like this anymore these days.

Jimmy Barnes - Soul Deep, as perhaps the album title suggests, a collection of '60’s and '70’s soul covers.

Who could resist a bossa version of Guns of Brixton, sung with a French accent? Gets quite a heavy rotation chez Rigsby. 
Something a little less hi-fi….
An original copy of what later appeared on the reissue of the first Tubeway Army album back in the day!
Must admit it’s not actually my copy - it’s been on loan for forty odd years - lost touch with original owner!
Got to say that for a non-official recording made 45 years ago - in mono - in a club - probably on someone’s portable tape player that sounds bloody brilliant on my system….

Some night owls still with it. Plus likely some Southern hemisphere folks about to have lunch 
Count Ossie! And the mystic revelation of Rastafari. Tales of Mozambique.

Surprised by this 2022 release. A few ‘typical’ symphonic metal riffs/songs which will probably put most of you off, but some really lovely slower songs in places, what a melodic voice Clémentine Delauney has when she doesn’t try too hard and sings naturally.
Maybe it has a ‘musical theatre’ feel in places, at other times there are folky/Celtic elements, ultimately nothing complex or challenging but strangely enjoyable.
That’s bound to have put everyone off!
What a lovely duet (track 5) ‘Freedom’.
Third vinyl purchase made in a week, that’s pretty unusual these days.
Can’t really explain why but this may be a firm favourite of 2023 (unlike the other two rather impulsive purchases I think I may regret).

Oh heck, is that a re-release?
I feel another vinyl purchase rapidly approaching.
Too late possibly from the usual sources…
Another thrift store pickup - I hadn’t heard of them, but it seemed intriguing enough to give it a try. It’s in decent but not great shape with more than a little surface noise:
Update - the noise was enough to make me stop playing - too bad, the music was excellent. I may try a really deep wet cleaning and see if I can salvage it.
