Next up another album that rarely sees the light of day from a fellow Canadian (of K D Lang, I mean ) !

I first saw her live in 1998 at the Wigan Jazz Festival, she was little known in the UK at the time, although Sir Michael Parkinson was certainly responsible for raising her profile and even scooped live on air in 2003 the announcement of her engagement to British New Wave legend Declan MacManus, they married later that year at Elton John's home in Windsor.

This her second album released in 1995, recorded at the Power Station NY, Krall being more than ably accompanied by a who's who of the Jazz world - Ray Brown, Christian McBride, Lewis Nash and Stanley Turrentine. Produced by Tony LiPuma, recorded by the legend that is Al Schmitt and mastered by another legend Doug Sax.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...dff190eac3.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...22f3c397ac.jpg

Rush2112

Last up we go to the vinyl version of one of the legendary albums from this artist and of the 1970's. This, his fifth album, released in 1972 was to go on to sell double Platinum in the UK and give us the iconic tracks Starman, Suffragette City and Rock 'n' Roll Sucide. The album was engineered by Ken Scott (No not the Scottish actor - Rebus, Balin etc,.), who is perhaps somewhat overlooked despite having worked with The Beatles, Elton John, Supertramp, Kansas, Duran Duran, Jeff Beck, Level 42 and Pink Floyd to name but a few !https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1ef5c63521.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...66842179ea.jpg

It might be his 5th LP, but as far as I'm concerned it is the first.
Excellent LP, and only matched by the later 'Scary Monsters'.

Superb LP and probably their last decent recording. "Won't get fooled again", but sadly we did.

(Can you believe there are some 'precious' over-sensitive little darlings who are offended by the cover? :doh: )

I can believe it - we live in a totally media influenced, ridiculously politically correct society with lots of namby pambys in it !!!

I agree; it's a sad trait of sections of the human race!!! Unfortunately, the idiosyncrasies of the human race will always cause problems and/or conflict. :(

Well this morning starts with an album I have to admit I can't remember when it was last played but some considerable time ago. Strangely neither the album or any of the tracks are on my phone library so it hasn't been played in the car or on the JBL Flip on a beach or terrace on holiday either !

This album released in 1992 was nominated for 6 Grammy's wining Best Female Pop Performance for Constant Craving. The album sold Platinum in New Zealand and the UK whilst going double Platinum in Australia, Canada and the US

The songs, arrangements, musicianship, engineering and vocals are sublime.

I bought this at a car boot a few years ago, and wasn't expecting much. How wrong I was. Brilliant album, quickly became one of my favourites. Everyone should have this in their collection :)

Well, obviously... I like that he steadfastly refused to climb aboard the Glam Rock bandwagon :)

I once bought my stepdad a George Formby grill in an attempt to get him eating healthier. He loved that grill - he hadn't had dripping butties since he was a kid and the grill served it up in spades :)

I think one needs to have "a momentary lapse of reason" to want to play it, remastered or otherwise.

What do you want to know? Supermarkets tend to be best on price, but not necessarily quality. I prefer locally produced ( one of my regular customers always gives me free eggs), the yokes are always more yellow, and boiled with soldiers to dip in are one of my simple pleasures :)

But would you rather not be talking about music? :ner:

Thought by many to be a better recording than DSOTM. Can't see it myself.

Another NIN track I heard off an Adam Curtis docu! The whole LP is pretty good actually, not the sort of thing I normally listen to.

I bought a later LP by them also recently, 'Downward spiral', didn;t like that one so much, too harsh sounding, only track on it I like 'a warm place', once again, heard on an Adam Curtis BBC docu!!
