I don't dislike ITCOTCK, but never liked it enough to get myself a copy.

Even though they were played to death in the 80's after Brothers in Arms came out they certainly knew how to turn out a tune or two, marvellous stuff. Every rock fan should have at least this compilation of theirs IMO.

Another recent acquisition from the vinyl trading, one I have not listened to for years, I had forgotten how good it is, a challenging listen in parts but at the same time extremely good.
It was their 2nd most successful after "In The Court of the Crimson King". It is ranked number 1 for albums in 1974 on BestEverAlbums, and there are some extremely good albums in 1974. https://www.besteveralbums.com/years...ir=desc&page=1
The musicianship on it is quite stunning, and musically/rhythmically some challenging compositions. It's not for everyone but I would recommend a listen.

A great Album, one of my all time favourite groups through all the line up and style changes. It's hard to pick a favourite, but I'd go for 'Larks tongues in aspic' if you pushed me...Quote:

Good stuff :)
Re-listening to this one given to me by my friend Jon, considering it has had only one clean and is 50 years old it is amazingly good. It's not a 1st press but is very early on probably 3rd press from the same year, I also have to much more recent 2016 re-mastered release. What is noticeable on the original is that there is much more punch and definition, especially to the bass, transients and dynamics seem much better. It is a favourite of mine as it came out when I was in 6th form college and we listened to it a lot and I have always liked it, I was never very happy with re-master so I very pleased to have an early copy that sounds great.
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here

One chilled album

The great majority of re-masters are IMO pretty poor. Why can't the record companies just leave things alone and learn how to press records properly - instead of milking their libraries with 'limited editions', 'immersion collections'; 'anniversary releases', or whatever the latest marketing idea it is that has come to their mind.Quote:

Yes, if you haven't yet see if you can find a 2nd or 3rd variant, they should not be too costly on Discogs for a NM/VG+ sleeve will never be great as subject to discolouration with time.Quote:

Yup, I picked up my copy from a local charity shop for 50p. It's an interesting CD - Regina Spektor cannot be said to be 'run of the mill'.Quote:
