Live At Blues Alley...Eva Cassidy.
Recorded in the late 20's, Henry Thomas... His modern day lovers were likes of Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Grateful Dead, and Canned Heat.. He often accomplanied himself with a quill(a type of zampona)

Henry started recording in the 20's and continued through 9 decades... Also known as Mule, he knew and played with many of the greats of blues including Walter Davis, Roosevelt Sykes and Yank Rachell.

Saw him in North Wales a few years ago. He was suffering a cold at the time, so wasn't at his best. :(Quote:

After nearly 40 years I decided I would listen to all four sides - something I haven't done in years. Some improvement: I now like two out of the four sides - that's a 100% improvement. :)

But I would disagree with Adrian that everything John McLaughlin was involved in was great. Some of it is no more than very well played anodyne pap; as is typical of most that is labelled "fusion".
Ah, maybe wrongly I presume you are not a guitar player. JM has not just done fusion, have a listen to the John McLaughlin Trio live at the Albert Hall.Quote:

Vinyl
As I found before, it's pleasant enough, but again I found I wasn't really listening to it with much intent. I think the problem is I don't really like jazz guitar (apart from Charlie Bird and Charlie Christian). :confused:
And since they are filed close together:
Lalo Schifrin - '– The Dissection And Reconstruction Of Music From The Past As Performed By The Inmates Of Lalo Schifrin's Demented Ensemble As A Tribute To The Memory Of The Marquis De Sade'

Vinyl
Arguably it could be accused of being 'easy listening', but is more akin to Jazz and better composed as you would expect from a writer of film scores.
I think you mean 'Live at the Festival Hall'. Yes I have heard it.Quote:

Sorry yes ‘Festival Hall’ is what I meant. Well we all like different things and that includes music, which is just as well for musicians or it could be all be a the same. As long as we each enjoy what we listen to that’s all that matters really. CheersQuote:

Has anyone ever successfully cured a warped record? I'm thinking that if the disc was laid flat under a sheet of glass and left in the sun for a couple of minutes it may just work. I have a pretty warped copy of "Axis Bold as Love" which I may try to 'fix'.Quote:

The warp is not severe, so I'll risk it for a biscuit and report back. Just need the sun to return, but probably an early morning thing.

My copy is as flat as a board, and with silent inter-track grooves. For such a thick LP, it would be near impossible to remove any warp.
Flattening warped records is a haphazard affair. Placing the warped record between two sheets of glass and weighing them down with something heavy such as a car battery often works initially - but the warp can reappear with time, and often does. But sometimes it is successful.
The secret is to apply some heat, and there are a couple of propriatory 'disc flatteners' that do just that. However I have no experience of them or of the results
most use 2 sheets.
