Mmm a bit of needle overnight that’s unfortunate this thread is usually the one place you can go without having to worry about trolls. Maybe a bit of love and tolerance is required.
I sometimes wonder what a first pressing would sound like, then I look at prices on Discogs and am immediately cured of that itch. But then I double back, and wonder if there’s a sweet spot at the intersection of affordability and quality (mid to late 70s repress, maybe?). I imagine your 1977 copy sounded excellent.
After a quick lyric check, (I was never going to watch it) and seeing the usual Big Heart and Eye Wink emoji’s, wheres is all the ‘One Love’?
All I asked for was to keep on topic to avoid this thread turning into your own personal message board, and by the way, I never said you weren’t humorous!
In my polite request post I wrote about the many positives of your posts, and I followed up by wanting to talk to you about the Blue Note remasters… because this is the music thread, which after all, is why we are all here.
A rainy blustery day down here on the South-East Coast.
Just listening to Wooden Ships in preparation for a session on the guitar. I think this guy has nailed a great version - the run through around 0.28m on his clip with the chords on the 10th and 12th frets are just a joy to play.
If you have a guitar this is one of those songs that sounds complex but as you can see from the clip it’s quite easy.
Listening now. Not just a great songwriter vocalist and instrumentalist, very obviously finicky about the way the sound is handled. In common with one mark knopler
The new one out today by Mammal Hands, on Gondwana Records, the Matthew Halsall label. Accessible modern jazz. I’m very much enjoying the opening track.
This album has got a great vibe to it…Friday morning, coffee, book and Eddie Chacon album and as somebody says on here…life is sweet (until I have three 10 year old boys to look after this afternoon )
