Anybody else get vinyl from Santa?
I got Tricky's Maxinquaye, Terry Riley's Persian Surgery Dervishes & 3 jazz Lps that my other half's son got me based purely on the cheesiest album covers he could find. 2 turned out to be really good albums and the 3rd had a Mario Lanza album in it but by the time we discovered the mistake we had sat down to eat, so we had a very civilised musical accompaniment for dinner.

Got some cash for chrimbo , Going to HMV tomorrow :santa:
My brother gave me Elton John Rock of the westies and The Moody Blues A question of balance. Both claim to be mastered from the original analogue tapes and not from a digital source, sound great to me.

Bought myself Kate Bush: Kick Inside, The Dreaming, Never Forever, Hounds of Love and Sensual World.
I didn't have them on vinyl, though the vinyl copy I had of LionHeart I can't find so I might buy it as well.

Lovely presentation. Good concert too Ive got the Hull one on cdIt's really high quality. The Hull CD isn't as good as the Leeds concert IMO. They just sounded 'on it' in Leeds. Almost like the pressure was off. The recording didn't work properly in Hull or Leeds, which is why they eventually reworked bother recordings into what became 'live at Leeds'.
Truth is, they lifted certain tracks, be it bass lines, vocals, guitar, drums from Hull and repaired Leeds in the end.
It's a bit of a Mish Mash but got damn, it's definitely one of the best live albums of all time IMO.

Used to have an original lal back in the day but flogged it when skint. Yup the first tape of the hull concert lost the bass and they used bass from Leeds to repair it but that was only fairly recently.
Hull was meant to be the one and Leeds was a backup but ended up one of the seminal concerts, probably coz they were relaxed

Think The Live At Leeds was played at kj West hi shop in London
The Live At Leeds was played at k.j. west hi fi shop in a special evening presentation a year or so back through Naim Statement amplification and some exotic record player ?
Not surprisingly it sounded tremendous ( and live ) though considering the cost of the system it should have done. Might put this record on my shopping list for 2019, pending price ?

Got Pink Floyd "Animals", Beatles "Rubber Soul" and David Byrne's "American Utopia". I'll also be getting something from my girls today, but I can't remember what I asked for. I think it will be "Water of Leith" by Blue Rose Code.
Not sure about The David Byrne one, it'll take a few plays. It came with a download code, and if anyone can make use of this I'll post it on here.
