Let us know your thoughts……

I listened to Roundabout on Yootoob for the iconic keyboard solo… good high energy rendition of the track, but Moraz ain’t no Wakeman!

Nevertheless, I expect it will be added to the collection :smiley:


Nice collection acquired today.

I streamed this yesterday and yes, Moraz ain’t no Wakeman but this set is well worth a listen. The recording is ok/good, not audiophile by any means but little of Yes live is. However the energy and the tightness of the band is very evident. it is from the Relayer tour and so is interesting for that. Will I play it a lot? probably not because to me the studio recordings are just more enveloping. But do give it a listen.

found this in a charity shop yesterday and have started listening. Fascinating! I will listen a few times before I really comment.

The latest haul from second hand record shops and charity shops near to me. The Andy Kershaw/BBC compilation “More Great Moments of Vinyl History” looks interesting..

Two great albums by French composer Christian Gaubert. His score for the Jodie Foster/Martin Sheen film ‘The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane’ and an album of film music by his jazz trio which also includes a really superb funky arrangement of The Little Girl… theme.

You’ve collected some great ones there. The Lyle Lovett Joshua contains some wonderful music including North Dakota and the Step album contains the wonderful Bears. The Andy Kershaw is a rare and fine compilation. Enjoy.

Thank you. Sometimes the haul from charity shops in particular can be a bit hit and miss. And how many copies of ‘Anka’s Big Moka’ does one person need?

I know ‘Joshua Judges Ruth’ (Lyle Lovett) as I’d heard ‘North Dakota’ on a show off your hi-fi type playlist on Tidal, so I downloaded ‘Joshua..’, but it’s always nice to have your own copy and local streaming sounds better etc.

Some of the others are familiar, but a few are punts and all will get ripped to my NAS drive.

I’m supposed to be storing the CDs (post-rip) in the attic, but there’s something comforting about having them racked in the study..

Still way more interesting than the majority of charity shops around here. I mean there’s charity and then there’s real charity…

A good haul! The Kershaw and Rough Guide are excellent samplers of ‘World Music’ - worth looking out for Kershaw’s 1987 original ‘Great Moments in Vinyl History’ too. Also on CD.

Only on cassette on Discogs, (and then, not for sale!) The search, it seems, is on..

@Homeworks My mistake, there is only LP or cassette. No CD.

I’ve both Great Moments of Vinyl History on errr vinyl, very entertaining, he was the soundtrack to my life for years, so much music I still treasure, saddened by his recent early passing, way too young.
