"Sophisti-pop"? Not to be confused with "Yacht- Rock".Originally Posted by Alex_UK
Sade - Diamond Life (1984)
Just realised this album has recently turned 35!Doesn't seem that old!? Apparently, it is "Sophisti-pop" - which is now a thing, and I never knew.
Whatever, a nice mellow start to the day's music. Not a duff track on it.
Anyway, her first and best.

Well that's a new one on me, too! But yes, both "a thing" and not to be confused with each other!

Fantastic Vinyl sound quality. Tubby Hayes Grits, Beans And Greens. This is jaw dropping
"The recordings have been lovingly remastered at Gearbox Records' Studios, London, directly from the original tapes, using a Studer C37 ¼-inch stereo tape machine. They were then equalised through an all-valve mastering desk built bespoke for Decca studios in the late 1950s, Vintage Lang Pultec EQ, Prism Maselec EQ and Telefunken U73b valve limiters from 1959. The LP format lacquers were cut on a beautifully restored Haeco Scully Lathe from 1967 with Westrex (Western Electric) head and cutting amps: the same go-to lathe that Rudy Van Gelder used. "

Based on yours and Alex_UK's recommendations I had a listen to some of Trentemøller – Lost last night on Tidal and I rather liked it so will be having a further listen, thanks.
