After seeing it many times in the “What are you listening to right now” thread, Rickie Lee Jones’ eponym CD.
I understand the interest - good songs and a mix of acoustic and electric instruments that sounds great on a Naim system.

Hi Richard,
A bit of bad luck with the timing there, but hopefully the music is priceless 
My set is on the way, should get here later in the week.
How do you rate the selection, and the Sonic Q ?

The selection is comprehensive if unsurprising so I had a lot of the tracks already. Not a problem as I like compilations.
I rip to a Unitiserve and play through a Mu-So so sound quality is not that important to me.
Ordered from Amazon today, MrsT wanted Guardians of the Galaxy, there are some great tracks on this album, and I took the liberty to buy a few cd’s for myself so I tacked on the bargain priced 13cd box set from the Byrds and Golden Earring’s Moontan which I had been missing for many years and is unavailable on Qobuz, should never have sold all my vinyl, all those years ago!

Their first and third…now you just need the second, Absolutely Free, to make the trio 
3cd set of songs written or covered by David Bowie, performed by friends, band mates, collaborators and even Bowie himself. £5.99 from Amazon.
MrsT loved Awesome Mix Vol 1 so much so we bought Vol 2, another great mix of superb songs from the likes of ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Sam Cooke, George Harrison and more.
