in the mail today, the new 6 CD release of Dire Straits Studio Albums.
It turns out that I know way more of their music than I thought.

Only $22.68 at ImporCDs Dire Straits Studio Albums 1978-1991 Boxed Set on ImportCDs
More surprising (1 CD in) is that it isn't brickwalled.

If you like The Beat (as they are known in the UK) who I didn't see until a few years ago at The Beautiful Days Festival, what about The Selector (brilliant live, saw them a long long time ago!)

YES! Another brilliant release from 1980--their debut. One helluva year!

The English Beat, the Complete Beat just hit the mailbox today .. looks like I will be jamming on some 2Tone/2nd Wave Ska tonight myself ...

throwback Saturday. Do you feel like I ( we ) do ?

[The Rang]

The Iconoclassic version, sounds good though the cymbals a teensy bit tizzy,
One of these days will compare it to the Audio Fidelity

 

[jefe1]

The Doors The Singles Rhino
CD 2 Tightrope Ride and the lesser known later singles.

 

[cbmmm3]

1989. Pure pop wonderfulness

 

[The Rang]

Yet another great Iconoclassic release

 

[The Rang]

This album won the 2008 Grammy for Best Rock Gospel album.
I don’t typically listen to gospel but her albums rock and she has an amazing, kinda raspy, soulful voice.

Also played her live version of Gimme Shelter from the You Are There album.
Any fan of that song needs to hear this
