I’m on about my fourth listen. Gillian is wonderful, of course, but am now appreciating that Dave Rawlings is in particularly fine voice on this one.

Grateful Dead - Built To Last
I now this isn’t the most popular album they released, but does anyone know why it’s the only non hires release of the studio albums?

John Martyn. 1977. Vinyl. Produced by Chris Blackwell. Flawed genius at the top of his game imho.
“Recorded mostly outdoors by a Berkshire lake, a watery spaciousness haunts grooves never cluttered despite a support cast including Lee Perry, ska trombonist Rico Rodriguez, Steve Winwood and most of Traffic among a score of musos from the Island family.”

Nice Hegel Viking CD player there. I imagine it’s an impressive sounding player.
I had a Mohican for awhile, but ended up with a Marantz as it plays SACD too.
