Both good records. :)

As is that.
Stanley Clarke Band, The - The Stanley Clarke Band (2010)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0bbaa89eb3.jpg
Another one I don’t remember buying! Jazz Guitar probably not my favourite music, but this is a great album.
Looks to be an early release - I've not seen it before.Quote:

However in my opinion Stanley Clarke's 'Schooldays' is a superb LP, and should be in everyone's collection.
Iwas going to suggest following with St. Etienne, Stiff Little Fingers, Steps and Stan Getz, then I scrolled down and saw you'd beat me to it :)Quote:

Been out all day but now back to the St’s…
Staves, The Dead & Born & Gone (2012)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3dd365a832.jpg
Debut from the then 3 sisters from Watford, with their indie folk harmonies. Pleasant enough, but I can’t have been that bowled over as I haven’t got any of their subsequent albums.

That, and 'Live Dates', are fine Wishbone Ash recordings. :)Quote:

:lol: I know what you mean. In some cases it's not obvious from looking at the cover, or the spine or even on the CD or LP. There have been a few mis-filings in my collection because of that. :doh:Quote:

I used to have a few of their albums, and they were a great live band. I still have my 1972 copy of Argus, although its been well played.Quote:

Probably the best Steely Dan recording! :)
I really like this album, great harmonisation, has a lovely feel to it. I have bought other stuff by them, ok, but not as good as this.Quote:

Another one played loads back in the day but has languished in the collection for many years - enjoyed revisiting it.
Stevie Nicks - The Wild Heart (1983)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2b2dfa1243.jpg
Another joyful reunion with a great album not played enough. Some of the people involved in this record - wow!
Stevie Wonders - Innervisions (1973)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...efd1c59f03.jpg
This one’s a regular play, but it’s the next artist in the St’s, so on it went. Tough call but I think this is my favourite of his albums although Songs in the Key of Life jockeys for that position too.
My daughter was a mad Swifty but seems to have moved on! I have a couple of her early albums, will give this a stream.
Stimulus Timbre - Euphoria (2012)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...92743d63bf.jpg
Maltese “Psychill” your sort of thing? You could do a lot worse! Cheating a bit as I don’t think I have a CD copy of this, I think it was digital download FLAC only. If you are curious, it is on Spotify and Tidal and probably other streaming platforms, although the release date is shown as 2015 - just checked the actual files and mine are definitely 2012.
And that segued nicely both alphabetically and sonically into…
Sting - Brand New Day (1999)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...998b79ba08.jpg
I feel Sting had lost his cool by then? He was definitely cool in the Police/Quadrophenia era but he seems to be one of those artists not taken so seriously these days, or maybe that’s just me. (A bit like Bono…). Anyway, it’s not been played often or recently, but I actually really enjoyed it. Might dig out Ten Summoners Tales on vinyl later for a proper retro fix.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...7BZ6L._AC_.jpg
Track currently playing is called "Waiting for Rain" - taking the piss or what?
And now we come to The Stranglers - I don’t have any of their studio albums on CD/FLAC, only vinyl, but I do have this one:
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9edf4e4d68.jpg
They certainly wrote and played some great tunes.
Street, The are next - 2002’s debut, Original Pirate Material
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8f6b1e2abd.jpg
Another one I played a lot when it came out but not played all the way through in years. Bit of a masterpiece, really, and very original (pun intended) at the time. I have A Grand Don’t Come For Free, but never anything since - might have to check out the more recent releases.
That’s probably it for today, 2 more “St” bands to go…. Any guesses?
Great way to bow out !Quote:
