So I bought this extended version for the additional tracks (already had the original):
The delivery was slightly delayed due to Jonathan (keyboards) having Covid, so he also sent me this to listen to:
It’s rather good, so that led me to order this:
and then I discovered that he had been collaborating again with Rachel Cohen (ex Karnataka), so this had to be ordered as well:
(Three Colours Dark, “The Science of Goodbye”)
The Beatles In Mono Box Set. Finally got around to acquiring a version of the Mono reissues. I chose the CDs at a tenth of the price of the vinyl box set, of which I can’t justify paying the current used prices, which are circa £1300-£1500 at the moment (child No1 starts Uni this year so funds will be tighter).
So far so good, and having ripped them and sorted out the covers and metadata, they sound great, with the caveat that I’ve only shuffled a few tracks to test the rips. I’ll listen to everything all the way through this week.
The design and attention to detail that went into creating and packaging these reissues is simply breathtaking - love the Japanese inner & outer sleeves, the Emitex replicas, the top loading recreation of The White Album LP sleeve, plus the poster and photos - everything is top notch.
Delighted.

Excellent!
Thanks for a timely reminder to get my BIM box out (CD).
It’s been awhile since I played it.

Latest arrivals:
Rolling Stones El Mocambo Live Session in 1977. This was a performance at what at the time was one of the happening bars in Toronto. Turbulent time for the Stones but one heck of a show.
And an interesting Genesis recording

Re Bright Yellow Bright Orange-The Go Betweens, had a few listens now and really enjoying it. Not quite as good as Oceans Apart but still another Go Betweens album definitely worth keeping, I honestly can’t understand why these guys never got the break through they deserved. Damn shame an excellent band.

Glad you are enjoying it Pete. Hopefully those two later albums will eventually appear on Qobuz.
I came very late to the band but really appreciate now what a great band they were.

A 46 CD set of all Brahms’ published works.
I’m very much looking forward to discovering music I am not yet familiar with (along with revisiting works I have enjoyed for a long time.)

Not the most flattering photo for a cover.

Great to see someone else into The Gathering @IanRobertM, a good band that remains under appreciated here in Blighty.
