Indeed, and there’s no shortage of other tracks worth lauding on there - Don’t Stop… & Stone Woman for two. Amazing production, great songs, and Bryan’s voice, banger.
Thanks @Isca Dumnoniorum, managed my best nights sleep in months last night. Today was spent in a losing battle clearing Ivy from the bottom fence, between rain showers.
Still early days yet and I’ve got to face the daunting prospect of sorting Eileens wardrobe out, which I’m not looking forward to.

A losing battle is not a war. Gardening is life affirming. The wardrobe is for another day. All will be well Gary.
You’re right regarding the garden and there’s no rush regarding the wardrobe, when I’m good and ready, it’s not interfering with anything.
Think it’s time for another Bowie album.
2LP set. This is good - very atmospheric live sound. Never saw Callier live but I did hear him live, in a record store in Toronto decades ago. Similar low-key solo performance. Kicking myself for not leaving the racks to actually watch him perform !
The first album I bought. I had bought a few singles by Slade. Then round my mates house he put on Aladdin Sane. This would have been March 1974.
I thought it was the best thing I had ever heard. Couldn’t wait for school to finish the next day to go to the record shop and buy a copy.
Looking at that sleeve takes me back to 1974. Funny passed my mates house this morning on my bike.
Hunky Dory was my first Bowie album, and Low is my favourite Bowie album cover, I tried to emulate the look, but failed miserably…..
Jack Bruce - Things We Like
Effectively Jacks first solo album recorded when he was with Cream.
It’s more a free jazz affair of Bass, Drums and Sax with John McLaughlin coming in from Track 3 onwards.
Time to dig that LP out of the rack. Great cover !
‘The Velvet Sound of Lenny Breau’ on CD. Superb live album by the late Canadian jazz guitarist, recorded at Shelly’s Manne Hole, N. Hollywood.
Twenty Nine Palms - Fatal Joy, the 1990 debut album from a local band, who were signed to Miles Copeland’s IRS label. Well crafted songs.
