Have you heard Imelda may's new album "11 Past the Hour" yet Grant? I'm currently streaming, and it sounds promising. Guitar on title track is a bit like Nancy Sinatra's "My Baby Shot Me Down" from Kill Bill soundtrack. Anyway, ordered the album, less than 20 quid, so I'm fine with that :)
no.. just added it to my library on qobuz. cheersQuote:

Well I did not know that! I just saw it at a car boot for 50p, saw the above mentioned track on it, and thought I'm havin' that. Makes sense though, "Shake your Head" track is rather later iirc, about '93/94, and that is on the same CD.Quote:

Have to say I never understood the appeal of Leonard Cohen but I've known people who were fanatical about him.

Yes they have split unfortunately, as a result all their vinyl has nearly tripled in price, if you can get it. Time for some re-releases I think.Quote:

'Can't Buy a Thrill' is none too shabby either.

Having done some speaker reposting and placing plinths of hard rubber feet I listened to these and I think I have setup optimised, for now anyway.

I have always loved Tom Petty, I don't think he ever released a bad album, I took the plunge with this one and it is worth every penny of the £40 I paid and that many times over. It is a stunning re-release, possibly one of the quietest pressings I have, superb dynamics and wonderful mix, I wasn't ready for such a great record.
Musically it has tracks that sound Dylanesque but are definitely TP, there are some lovely ballads and then there are out and out rockers with the wonderful TP style echoing back to earlier days, just wonderful. If only he was still with us, such a shame.
A MUST HAVE IMHO!!!

Nice choice Grant - but it should have been posted in the Jazz and Blues section. :D
yup, i forgot again.:)
One I got the other day as part of the vinyl trade in. These Fripp and Steven Wilson re-mix re-issues are superb IMO, very good soundstage with marvellous separation and clarity, well worth considering and not expensive, the vinyl is near on silent on lead ins and quiet passages.

Still sounds as fresh as it did when I first heard it all those years ago, this re-release is VG+, I was in two minds about getting the clear vinyl but it is very quiet on lead ins.
