Nice…medical👍
From Redeye Records in Sydney at $34 for the new Lloyd Cole album, Guesswork . Thankfully it was worth it, great album.
Although I already have New Land on vinyl, I bought this to explore four more from Lee Morgan. Good value at £11.25.
Winchester also. Not fair!

Chris Rea’s Blue Guitars arrived this morning just finished ripping the 11cd’s and 1 DVD. Playing the first CD now it’s sounding really good and the book is an excellent addition.
Excellent, be interested to know your thoughts. CD4 is my favourite so far, although I haven’t had a chance to list to 6 to 11 properly.
My favourite compilation of early singles. Had not realised it was available on CD until a discussion a few months ago, my vinyl copy is pretty worn.
CD case was cracked on arrival, but I couldn’t be bothered to return it.
After a trip to poundland:
Just completed album 4 and likewise it’s my favourite, so far. Albums 1&2 were very good but there were a couple of tracks on album 3 that weren’t quite as good specifically the french tracks, but then that is to be expected with a work of this size. I am a couple of tracks into album 5 and it is shaping up to be excellent. I was also amazed by the book as I wasn’t expecting it, I never realised Chris was an artist, you live and learn. The only slight downside so far has been the fake crackling on the first few albums.
If it hadn’t of been for Poundland and the purchase of Auberge and The Road to Hell, reminding me how good Chris Rea is, this epic piece of work would have escaped me. Apologies Pete for mentioning Poundland
It’s unfortunate that Chris has never had the recognition he deserves, as listening to his albums now has shown me that I have been missing a great talent for many years.
The one downside to this discovery is MrsT has been singing Driving Home for Christmas incessantly
Happy Xmas😎
We don’t have a Poundland where we live, but the local Sainsbury’s is proving a bit of a treasure trove. Added to today’s grocery shop - 100 tracks and six hours of reggae classics, all for a fiver! Virtually every well-known song you could want in one nice little package makes for another great-value release in Union Square Music’s “Ultimate” series.
