Cheers @steviebee I’ve just ordered the two Nina’s, I got the AS Coltrane Ballads but passed on the others to date, I got a decent Speakers Corner Love Supreme, some other good titles including Sarah Vaughan forthcoming though
The AS Ballads sounds awesome Dread. Nice package altogether.

Btw should anyone be interested I’ve found (when I cant get to a real world record shop) that WH Smith do an excellent and reliable click and collect next day service.
And theres a branch a stones throw from my house, happy days!
Good for you, Dread!
I’m thinking of getting Spell too…too good to miss, going by Pastel Blues.

Only S&TB album I own. ‘Last beat of my Heart’ is a real killer.
Great album, have the original vinyl. Must dig it out.
Just bought a second copy of this sublime Rumer album (This Girl’s in Love) as it had dropped to £13.
It’s now just over £11 on the River (3rd party seller) - snap it up folks. (The Amazon listing has a more 60’s looking cover, this is shown as 2nd or 3rd image).

I must confess that I listen to instrumental (MOTR) stuff from time to time, it’s a guilty pleasure I allow myself at the end of the day.
Enya, Watermark.
According to Wikipedia, the album was first recorded with a Fostex E16 analog tape machine, but the record company had the whole album recorded again digitally as they judged the analog original had to mush tape hiss. The producer says the digital recording was quieter, but Enya’s voice sounded richer on the analog tape. I wish that the amalog recorded had been used for the LP but I don’t think it’s the case.

Love the intro on those youtube Analogue Planet videos, Michael Fremer mimicking a nagging wife/partner
Fortunately I have a wonderful Queen who values and appreciates buying records. In fact she would think something was wrong if I wasnt bringing records home, so I’m happy to keep her re assured!
Just the first 6 seconds, cracks me up!
