Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

I had the album but it may have been borrowed and returned to its original owner. (50 years ago). It was one of the albums that started my interest in what is now called world music. Of course the picture of Nejla Ates is nice too. She also has some wiki pages and an interesting but sad life.

Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart

Her first full length album, very nice.
Intimate recording, laid back.
Have one other MG disc will buy more.

 

[The Rang]

Mott the Hoople - The Hoople

Iconoclassic version. First MTH album I've ever heard.
Pretty much what I expected, sounds kind of loose and sloppy, sound not great on the main album, Vic Anesini's bonus tracks are better. And have to say, I don't think much of Ian Hunter as a singer.
But, it's definitely a product of the era, and despite its warts I enjoyed it.

FLEETWOOD MAC 1969~1974 A Superb 8 disc set expertly remastered by the folks @ RHINO. How can you resist for under $4 per disc? Disc #8, Live From the Record Plant December 15. 1974, previously unreleased, is sensational and extremely well recorded! Comes in a sturdy clamshell box!

Speaking of Genesis going on tour later this year, The Last Domino tour. Its hard to believe this album is 35 years old ! Where does the time go ? I was a young buck out of college with a good job. Life was ( and still is ! ) good. This album was one of my first few CD purchases

IMO, and for so little money, RHINO did a spectacular job.

thank you

good purchase . thumbs up to you

I really like the sound and mix of Surrender (Alternate Version). Bonus tracks are great! I still need to get Self-titled, In Color and probably Next Position Please. Maybe, Budokan too.

Which Cheap Trick Blu-spec CD’s do you have?
