I saw them live back in 81 as support to Gillan at Preston with Nightwing. The 80's was my concert decade I saw a huge number of great acts ! This is my only LP of thiers, released in 1981 and recorded at the famous Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales.Quote:

AND NOW TO ANOTHER MONUMENTAL ALBUM !!! STEVE HILLAGE - FISH RISING (DIGITAL REMASTER (CD OF COURSE) :thumbsup:
Compilation of obscure Brit. 60s psych, most of them released as singles, all of them in fact. Great stuff. The Bam Caruso 'Rubbles' series, ran from the early to the mid 80s, I've got 1 to 10 on vinyl, and this one - 11-20 on cd, it was cheap, just as well, just half of it is shite, they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel after 14. I heartily recommend 1-14.

You should try Bandolier, their best IMHO, its a classic that could have made them a mainstream Rock band if it had got the attention it deserved.Quote:

The Cardigans - Long Gone Before Daylight (2003)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...reDaylight.jpg
"The album differs from much of the band's earlier work, eschewing the pop and electronic rock sound of previous material in favour of a sparser, alternative rock and country-influenced production. Its lyrical themes are also more mature, with subject matter inspired by domestic abuse, depression, love and fatalism"
So we start the day with a band fronted by a sadly missed Floridian singer, song writter and Wilbury.
This was their 2002 release and 11th studio album, the opening track is still a regular feature on radio but the whole album is a great exponent of AOR with every track somehow sounding familiar.
Title:
1."The Last DJ" 3:48
2."Money Becomes King" 5:10
3."Dreamville" 3:46
4."Joe" 3:15
5."When a Kid Goes Bad" 4:56
6."Like a Diamond" 4:32
7."Lost Children" 4:28
8."Blue Sunday" 2:56
9."You and Me" 2:58
10."The Man Who Loves Women" 2:53

Best sounding DSOTM IMHO, I have compared a 1st press vinyl, later re-presses and 2016 vinyl remaster (probably from the 2011 CD re-masters issued then), most are good, probably because this was a well engineered and produced album in the first place. I have not heard the 50th Anniversary version so cannot say if it better to the same.
If you are into DSOTM CD/SACD then I would recommend you try a copy, there are a few on Discogs and a couple of very well priced ones on Ebay.

I used to have DSOTM MOFIi Gold Disc which was very good but IMHO the 40th SACD betters it and its rather cheaper.Quote:

It's rare for me to be listening on a Saturday morning, however, when the opportunity presented itself I reached for the recently acquired hybrid SACD 3CD 30th anniversary release of this iconic live recording. I have both LP and CD previously released versions including Jazz at the Pawnshop Vol 2 on LP and in all honesty they all sound great. This 3CD release does have the benefit of greater clarity overall and less obvious tape hiss and is a little less "warm" sounding than the original LP and I mean this in the most honest way, it's not to disparage the CD version as "digital" but more a representation of the difference of the two formats at thier best. Akin to auditioning the same audio system and swapping between valve amplifiers and solid-state. I have not as yet played it on my SACD equipped Pioneer DVD player as I am still looking for the best option to connect this to the Wadia 321"decoding computer" ! So it was played as any other CD using my Lyngdorf CD1in transport configuration upsampling to 192k and fed via coax connection to the Wadia.
Originally released in 1977 as a 2 LP 180gram album by Proprius Records. It is a multi-session recording made by Gert Palmcrantz on December 67, 1976, at Jazzpuben Stampen (Pawnshop) in Stockholm, Sweden and is regarded by many audiophiles as one of the best sounding jazz recordings of the 20th Century. Suffice to say these are some of the great Jazz standards played by five artists at the peak of thier prowess and working in complete unison.
Personel:
The recording features Arne Domnιrus, alto sax, clarinet; Bengt Hallberg, piano; Lars Erstrand, vibes; Georg Riedel, bass; and Egil Johansen, drums.

I saw them in March '76 on the Jailbreak tour at Southampton University Students Union, a great venue we were about 6 feet from the band and they were superb, and boy could they play, they only did 100 concerts that year.Quote:

Probably my favourite Dylan album. Why so much Dylan? - well it was his 80th birthday yesterday!
That's my favourite Dylan album too, although there's a few from after 1990 I don't have.
