In the absence of "The Absence", which is due to arrive on Wednesday, I'm making do with Melody Gardot's "Worrisome Heart". Mrs. P approves, says it's perfect for a chilled Sunday morning, together with a bacon, sausage and egg baguette with brown sauce :)
I've been listening to Dr Rubberfunk over the last few days :):)

kd lang "All You Can Eat". God-awful sleeve art, but nice chilled tunes with a voice like a warm Radox bath :)

This Oldfield album is quite a favourite of mine, to say it pops from the speakers is an understatement, If you give it a go it will certainly give your drivers a run for the money in parts, some very big transients in places, it is very well mixed with great separation and large soundstage.

Charity Shop special, couple of quid for some great music.
Just cleaned this LP as a first test on the Moth RCM, dead quiet and sounding clear as a bell.
Great recording actually, who knew?
Thanks Grant. :thumbsup:

His album This Is James Last remained a UK best-seller for 48 weeks, and his song "Games That Lovers Play" has been covered over a hundred times. Last undertook his final tour months before his death at age 86, upon discovering in September 2014 that an illness (the exact illness was never disclosed had worsened. His final UK performance was his 90th at London's Royal Albert Hall, more than any other performer except Eric Clapton." "Asked if he minded being labelled the "King of Corn", Last reportedly replied "No, because it is true.""
Obviously a very successful career that captured peoples ears for many years.

Another free compilation, I was a bit dubious about this one but it is actually very good quality, even thought they are cover versions of the originals the recordings and productions are extremely well done. A reviewer on Discogs says "The production of these earlier volumes in the series were very good. Tina Charles does a great vocal on Ruby Tuesday sounding remarkably like Melanie and she also appears on the Witch. Both great covers. Most of the other tracks are also well recorded."
