Perhaps the best value disc anywhere in the world, two versions of a concert and three albums all in DTS-HD MA 5.1, I paid £10 from burning shed last year

Since someone has just pm’d me to tell me it’s not obvious I have to give the name of the band and album

Although I have a lot of friends in the music community, never heard of Guitar Shorty. That changed one summer night at Chicago Blues Fest in the late '90's. Great performance and a few tricks, like rolling out a mat and doing summer salts on stage while playing his axe. Immediately became a fan and sought out all his stuff. That 5.1 SACD is one of his best.

There was another bluesman who also went by Guitar Shorty.

David William Kearney, aka Guitar Shorty passed a few weeks ago.April 20, 2022. What a treat it was to discover him. Live he was at his best. A very fond memory!

Marillion - An hour before it’s dark
This album gets better every time I hear it, no bunch of old guys in their 60’s should still be this good and relevant. This is in their top three albums for me and I have everything they’ve ever done

Well, it's a rainy day here just north of Chicago, and all my posting on this thread reminded me of this beauty, steeped in the Blues . . . and funk . . . and psychedelia and . . . multichannel magic!

Same here, Clement, my man. Oddly, when I ordered the tears for fears, I did not choose tracking then either...and I got it in a few days after it shipped. Not sure what's up with this one.

SHARP FIVE - QX LP
*Just finishing up a conversion of this one from the SMv2. If you've never heard this album; it sort of has an Japanese 60's Quasi-Pop (aka- Ray Manzarek on Quaaludes while trapped in an elevator) sound to it.

Amazed more hasn’t been written about this one. Not all of the artists or songs work, but the ones that do sound incredible.
