    Michelle Shocked – ‘The Texas Campfire Tapes’



    Picked this up at a boot sale today on a whim. Glad I took the punt, although new to me I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am amazed by the quality of the recording, considering it was a ‘field recording’ made using a Sony Walkman.

    Cooking Vinyl COOK 002 (1986)


    Eric Clapton – ‘Behind the Sun’



    Picked up at the same boot sale also in excellent condition, but sadly IMO this is one of the most anodyne records ‘our Eric’ has made. The only decent track is his cover of ‘Knock on Wood’.

    Warner 925 166-1 (1985)


    Joan Baez – ‘Farewell Angelina’



    Vanguard VSD-79200 (1965)


    And now for something completely different:

    Patti Smith Group – ‘Radio Ethiopia’



    Arista ALB6-8379 (2009) 180g vinyl.

    If you liked this, then "Short Sharp Shocked" is another good one. Good songs and well produced imo. Carries the song "Anchorage" which you will have heard.

    And I will seek out "Texas Campfire Tapes" which I've heard of but not heard.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
