UK first press vinyl LP, bought the day it came out in 1977, after school. Brian Humphries, the engineer on this, and who was the group’s FoH and studio engineer from 1974-79, died on Wednesday. Brian also worked on More and Ummagumma and also for the likes of The Kinks, Traffic, (UK) Nirvana, Free, Squeeze, etc.

Anna Erhard - Botanical Garden

I don’t know why anyone might be interested but heard it on BBC Radio 6 Music whilst grumpy on my stupid three hour drive home from work and it is such a silly track it just makes me smile every time it now comes up on my playlist.

Arooj Aftab - Night Reign

Arooj Aftab (Vocals), Vijay Iyer (Piano) Shahzad Ismaily (Multi-Instrumentalist), Kaki King (Guitar), Gyan Riley (Guitar), Cautious Clay (Flute), Jamey Haddad (Percussion), Elvis Costello (Wurlitzer), Moor Mother (Spoken Word) and Petros Klampanis (Bass).

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention from @Biggles above had me place in the queue and now taking out for a spin and as always, Arooj and her talented group of musicians working with her are sounding sublime! …one beautiful voice.

‘Southern Accents’ - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Released March 1985 and suffers occasionally from some mid-80s production but contains some killer songs including ‘Rebels’, ‘Don’t Come Around Here No More’ and the title track.

The second track - ‘It Aint Nothin’ to Me’ - is a real stinker, however.
