Picked up in a charity shop for 50p. Took a punt on it - if I didn't like it I could always give it to another charity shop. Fortunately my partner heard me playing it, recognised the artist and said she liked it. So a good outcome.

Again picked up in a charity shop for £1. I'm a bit of a fan of the Neville Brothers, so this was a nice find. And again my partner liked it.

I felt was a bit harsh on Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here', knowing that a great number of fans rate it highly. So I though I had better play it again:

Listened on headphones whilst on-line writing posts for AoS. Sorry I haven't changed my mind. Not exactly anodyne, but I didn't find it gripping either.

Every time I play a re-release I lament the fact that the original has been either worn out (often), lost (too many times) or nicked (in some phases of my life, more times than I would expect).

Much better - don't bother with side 2. Side 1 is a superb rock suite; anyway I saw the Floyd perform AHM in 1971 and it was memorable experience!
