On SACD, one of Sakamto-san’s most enigmatic solo releases. Contains the (in)famous “Riot In Lagos”. Hard to believe this was recorded 43 years ago!

Thanks. Thinking of adding an amp to my Atom is why I asked. Tried it with my little class D Aiyima (wasn’t expecting great things SQ wise), but the big surprise was that the Atom didn’t get as good performance from it in terms of volume as the Schitt pre it normally sits with. I’ll take some advice from my dealer, I guess. Thanks again.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - The Future. Released in 2021, this is a very enjoyable soulful album.

Just finished this, as recommended by @anon79335726. Bloody brilliant (All 2hr40min of it!), an absolutely superb quality recording.

The Grateful Dead - Cornell 5/8/77

What a time to be alive!

Enjoying this but not sure what to wear while listening

Polo neck late 50’s or a double gold chain late 70’s.
Jazzed up soul or soulful jazz?

Seeing him and Beck on Thursday night in Sydney, looking forward to both but especially Robert.

As @Ian acquaints himself with the Prefab Sprout output, I thought I would listen to one of Mr McAloon’s side projects

Jimmy Nail - Crocodile Shoes.

Wasn’t sure where to start this evening - I wanted something a little different and came across this in my collection ….

An old Naim Sampler….

Sounding rather nice it is too!!!
