A largely underrated artist IMO.
New to me but enjoyed it.Quote:

Probably my favourite Stones Album
Two great LPs. Not sure which of the Stones' LPs I think is the best, but I have a soft spot for 'Let it Bleed'.
The Space Brothers - Shine (1999)

Another album I have loved and played to death but had forgotten about in recent years. Also comes with a bonus Oakenfold remix disc. Both great, if you like trance.
Sticking with “Sp” alphabetically, next up was Space Raiders but bored of them pretty quickly. So now onto…

Don’t judge me! :lol:

An excellent collection. I played it the other day. :)
(BTW - whatever happened to 'crop circles'? They were a nine-day wonder! :doh: )
So what next? The Specials? Spin Doctors? Spooky Tooth? Sputnik (Sig Sig)?Quote:

However, and this is a total coincidence (or is it?) but that begins “Sp” as well!
Next artist in the list is Spanky Wilson and the Quantic Soul Orchestra - I’m Thankful, from 2006 but sounds more like 1956.

After Spanky you’re right with The Specials. Don’t have any albums of the rest, though, but still 4 more artists to go…Quote:

But only if you like musique concrète. :D
Sounds intriguing! I shall have to see if Tidal can oblige after this classic.Quote:

They're still a thing. Here's this year's 'crop' so far:Quote:

I have a CD that's a 'best of' (not the same one as yours), and mine doesn't have "Ghost Town" on it either. What's that all about? :scratch:Quote:

Thanks Martin. I'm impressed by the fact the layout is all done on the ground, yet it looks perfect from the air. Amazing!Quote:

It’s been awhile since I’ve played this one
https://i.ibb.co/QFh6PPLs/IMG-3694.jpg
Brilliant album. I bought this when it came out at the end of '73. Playing this brings back some great memories. And the lady on the cover was a dead ringer for my then girlfriend (I wish!)Quote:

Spoon - Gimme Fiction (2005]
American indie rock, this is their fifth album and no idea why I bought it, probably a review in The Times as so many of my early 2000 CDs came via that route! I don’t have any other of their albums, but it’s pretty good so I may have to stream them.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fbceb414fd.jpg
Closing off the Sp section is Spyro Gyra. I only have 3 albums of their rather prolific output - this one from 1993, Love & Other Obsessions from 1995 and 1996’s Heart of the Night. Why nothing before (i.e Morning Dance) or after I have no idea!

I haven’t got the sleeve to hand, but I bet it is “DDD”!
If I’m sticking with this game next we move to St - I have 15 artists, and 43 albums. (Filed alphabetically by band name or artist’s first name).
Kicking off the “St” section -
St Germain- Boulevard (1995)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f5433f892d.jpg
“Tourist” is probably better known but this is a great record, too.
This is filed as
Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto - Getz-Gilberto (1963)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...986d292400.jpg
Another great album that’s not had an outing for a while.
