    I have Thank Christ for the Bomb - on 'Fame', which I think was some mid price label. But it is still an excellent recording. I might just stick that on in the morning.

    I’m a huge fan saw her live first at the Wigan Jazz Festival before anyone knew who she was and before Michael Parkinson championed her on his radio 2 show, then again at Bridgewater Hall Manchester in 2002 and then lastly at the Royal Albert Hall in 2017. I have 15 of her albums and they are all great except The Girl In The Other Room and Wallflower which are just not her at her best !

    Yes their three part harmonies and subtle interplay between instruments isn't always obvious to the casual listener, but on the night, in the venue, with the crowd, it would be hard not to get caught up in it all. In other words "you had to be there" Was it really 3 minutes 19 seconds? I lost track of time

    Perfect way to start the day. Lots of reviews describe this a 'grower', but I liked it from the first play. In recent years I feel the quality of the vinyl format has been unpredictable to put it mildly, but every now and then a beautiful pressing will come along and restore my faith. This is one such record

    Sticking with Mr Oldfield a bit longer. "Earth Moving".



    I have a feeling that when I first played this I wouldn't have got past track 2, which sounds like everything that was bad about the 80s. Might work well in an aerobics studio with leotards and multi-coloured leggings. But this time I'm going to power through, see if things get better.

    If you like, you would be more than welcome to resurrect the thread and run with it. Interested?
    I will give it some thought and let you know.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
