1st run - a bit more like free and much less groove than before, let’s see if it can grow on me

[A-Fin]

Goat - Goat

Good call, certainly a change of pace… added to library

Bowie | Blackstar | 2016
I fancied this but hard to believe its 8 years old

I never saw ABBA live, but I think they were primarily a studio band, as this live album from 1979 demonstrates. In many ways, there’s nothing wrong with it. the two-hour setlist combines bangers with deep cuts, the girls are on top form and the band - including the late great Rutger Gunnarsson on bass – is superb. What’s missing is that wonderful, uniquely “Abbaesque” studio sheen that Bjorn and Benny’s productions had. Not a bad album by any means but not one I return to very often (I think this is only the second time I’ve played this).

Not seen anything from @seakayaker for a few weeks. Anyone know if he’s ok?

Carpenters - The Singles 1969-1973. This LP originally belonged to my parents, but I remember listening to it a lot when I was around 12/13. I was particularly taken at the time by the guitar solo in Goodbye To Love. Oh, and that voice!

Frank Zappa | Hot Rats | 1969
One of my all time favourite albums from the sixties, just a redbook that sounds wonderful.

[Shaunio]

Booker T & The MG’s 1970 - McLemore Avenue

Instrumental covers from The Beatles Abbey Road album on a Stax Remaster.

[Anonymoot]

Gary Numan - I, Assassin - 1982

Bit of a mad week work-wise, at last the weekend is here!

[Dynaudio1]

This one on vinyl 2LP is a bit of a find. Swings like crazy and brilliantly captures the live club atmosphere in 1972.

[adeypoos]

Got to love a bit of Tull.

[Radikal]

Beatles, Please Please Me.

[ewemon]

Most of the album which is due out 1st Nov.

You are fairly much spot on there. I was part of the stage crew in 79 and 81. It was good money, but nothing special to either watch or listen to. Having talked to a few “live” engineers over the years, they all have much said the same thing. Great in the studio, rubbish live. The audience though are singing along and in the moment, so don’t notice how bad they were.

Was thinking the same thing going through this thread yesterday. He’s probably enjoying a well deserved vacation somewhere.
