Just had a wee glancette at your Gallery thread. They look great. Not surprised that they sound good too, as pretty much anything Telefunken do is superb! You can't beat the best of the oldies!

Just got the hi-res downloads of the new John Mayall CD Find a Way to Care, which is out on September 4th on Forty Below Records. File I have been sent are 16/88 and sound pretty good. The record company say they will send the CD and vinyl when available, though the LP is coming out later. It is a really classic bit of Blues and a great return to his roots for JM, well worth a listen.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The Yes Album - because I never really gave them the credit they deserved , 40 years ago , that I should have!!
In other words ,buying all their early albums because I was too busy with Deep Purple , Genesis
I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work
That's a very fine record Anto. I'd not listened to Yes much in the last 20 years. But after reading that Chris Squire had died recently I started listening again. I never liked Tales From a Topographic Ocean and anything following that, but much of the earlier stuff I'm finding is great. And yes, credit where it's due.
