I’ve posted some on “what I’m listening to” but charity shops still turning up winners, the upside being I rip them to the NAS and take them back.
A box set of The Cars studio albums. A band I really like but I only own two albums on CD
Stephen Kovacevich - Beethoven Diabelli Variations (Onyx Classics, 2008).
Kovacevich made a famous recording of this piece for Philips early in his career, which I think that I have somewhere, but the Diabelli Variations were part of the handful of Beethoven’s late masterworks, written when he was completely deaf.
I thought that I was buying this on LP, but this could be an ideal candidate for first CD to be played on my brand new CDX-2/XPS DR.
Ooh weird flashback, my parents bought this on tape for me when a kid…
Thought it was a bloody awful present!
I always feel like John Deacon looks just like John De Lancie on that cover! Q is creeping in everywhere!
I got Mary Blacks new Album Duets for the wife at Christmas. Superb singer still and also some other superb singers combined with her fantastic backing musicians make a great album.
I first started liking Mary Black was when I was auditioning Hifi equipment at the Hifi Studios in Doncaster many moons ago and bought a lot of stuff from them.
Geoff used her as one of his reference cd,s for listening . Now sadly it’s no longer around.
Fair swap mate, nice one.
Very good, Neil!
OK, I know that I’m an old sad prog muppet……but I have every one of those - and some of them on LP!
Enjoy!
Charity shop yesterday.
Look what just dropped through the door… last one for the Porcupine Tree collection…
Porcupine Tree: Deadwing
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. You’ll be in Heaven .
These two I didn’t have but they will arrive.
Looking forward to @Fetchezlavache Prince’s live marathon and getting ready to contribute.
