‘Lady’s Bridge’ is stunning and ‘Hollow Meadows’ has a slightly different feel. In fact I am thinking of choosing one of them for the Album choice of the month. But I do have another album in mind, I was going for enjoyment for my next album choice, hoping to get a few audio grins rather than grimaces[emoji4]

I would be surprised if you did not enjoy some of it, but we’re all different.

Thanks for the reply. There are many artist(e)s who have passed me by, and whilst I might have heard of them, have never investigated any of their work.

That is what I like about this thread (which is usually the first I turn to after logging on), it has introduced me to new music; recommended by people whose opinion I trust.

First up this morning, the Sweedish folk pop duo First Aid Kit, great song writing and vocals.

Rush2112

Followed by another great folk duo, Christine Collister and Clive Gregson, Christine's voice is sublime and paired with singer/songwriter, musician and record producer Clive Gregson produces great music that is emotional and true.

Rush2112

Finally, before work beckons, this collection of the Shirley Bassey songbook accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis. A early 80's digital recording using a Sony PCM 3324 multi track recorder, which on many systems can sound a tad too digital, which is a shame, as her vocals and three octave range are at times spine tingling and the arrangements are suitably large scale as befits the songs and her voice.

Try “Waiting for Miracles” for Flower Kings, they are prolific and it hard to know where to start, or ‘Stardust We Are’ is considered a good early one, I like both.

Looks interesting. I haven't heard it, but I do wonder if it is yet another example of the Zappa family mining the vaults.

You haven't shouted about it, so is it any good?

I've just read some reviews, and it would appear that it is a very, very good example of a live Zappa performance. The recording quality is said to be very good (especially for a 27 year old set of tapes).

Having seen Zappa play on a couple of occasions, I may well get myself a copy.

A free gift from a happy customer. Usually it's a bottle of wine or some fancy biscuits. This is a first.

Yes that is interesting. I think I may like that. I do have "Roxy & Elsewhere", which is close to 50 years old. My ownership goes back as far as my old Fidelity mono record player, so has become a little tired.

Regrettably I never got to see him live.
