All chores done and have the rest of the day to myself.
Commuted the 50 meters down to the cabin for some quality listening with no interruptions.
Starting with a classic that should get the “Anniversary” treatment next year…

Gig sounds fun, shame I missed it!
Genesis. 1976. Vinyl. A career high point to my ears. Hackett still on board. Really strong songs including the incredibly beautiful " Ripples".
Plus great artwork which relates to the songs.

Another spin of this recent addition to the collection - great music and excellent sound.
Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 & Other Works ( The Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series) - Margarita Balanas
Keith Jarrett - 1975 - The Koln Concert - Label - ECM - Vinyl ( Japanese 1975 issue)
This is a live double album recorded at the Opera House in Koln on 24th January 1975 and released later that same year. It is arguably KJ finest hour playing a selection of four solo improvisations.
For some unknown reason @Collywobbles I still don’t own a copy of A Trick of the Tail on Vinyl. I must correct that as soon as possible🤔
Continuing my session with another classic, this one pressed in 1972😊
From psychedelic/Canterbury rock, through jazz rock to guitar band on Bundles. And still going. Uniti Core.
Following a chat in another thread about the Ludwig cut of LZII, and a video reviewer dissing the first two Japan issues as awful…had to play this! Reviewer is so wrong…
Led Zep 2
Japanese first press MT1091
1969
Sir John Betjeman recites his poetry over music which dovetails his pieces beautifully
Sir John Betjeman - Late Flowering Love
Yeah a great album and like you the Hackett songs are stunning.Entangled and Ripples.
The artwork just compliments the songs and the new Genesis logo is perfect.
I don’t think they could have got a better cover then what Hipnosis did .
Here they were on The Trick Of The Tail tour in 1976
King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King
