Stone Roses, Second Coming.
This one had completely passed me by. Probably because it was 1994, and I was heavily into EDM at the time. So I've finally got it, and at £2.70 inc. postage, is about a fifth of what it would have cost back then.

Been missing having a copy of this for a while, it is a favourite of mine of all Alice's albums since when I first heard it '72, one of his more out there albums, if there is such a thing. Took a chance as some reported varied pressing quality, but this copy is superb. An exceptionally good re-release of a classic.

One of the very first albums I ever bought. Complete with paper knickers, which I believe they stopped doing as they were considered a fire hazard. Because in those days when listening to School's Out you had to set fire to the knickers.Been missing having a copy of this for a while, it is a favourite of mine of all Alice's albums since when I first heard it '72, one of his more out there albums, if there is such a thing.

That was a good evening's listening. Wel done.What better way to close the evening, with what must surely be, one of the all-time great live albums by the incomparable Eva Cassidy. Recorded in January 1996 just 10 months before her sad death at just 33. There are few artists capable of pulling off versions of songs from such a diverse range of writers but Miss Cassidy does it with such consumate ease !
"Cheek to Cheek" (Irving Berlin) 4:03
"Stormy Monday" (T-Bone Walker) 5:49
"Bridge over Troubled Water" (Paul Simon) 5:33
"Fine and Mellow" (Billie Holiday) 4:03
"People Get Ready" (Curtis Mayfield) 3:36
"Blue Skies" (Irving Berlin) 2:37
"Tall Trees in Georgia" (Buffy St. Marie) 4:05
"Fields of Gold" (Sting) 4:57
"Autumn Leaves" (Joseph Kosma,*Johnny Mercer,*Jacques Prιvert) 4:57
"Honeysuckle Rose" (Andy Razaf,*Thomas "Fats" Waller) 3:14
"Take Me to the River" (Al Green,*Mabon "Teenie" Hodges) 3:51
"What a Wonderful World" (Bob Thiele,*George David Weiss) 5:50
"Oh, Had I a Golden Thread" (Pete Seeger) 4:46 (Studio Session)
