Dionne Warwicke, Then Came You (1975), in a conversion from CD4. Not much here that grabs me, musically, apart from the Thom Bell-produced title track. Still worth a listen, though!

I'm a big Dionne fan, so I rather enjoy this title.

The 2021 documentary about Warwick, Don't Make Me Over, is now streaming on HBO:

Lovely Sunday afternoon listening

Man! I remember listening to this in stereo in the basement on my father's hi-fi system and thinking, "Classical music sounds kind of cool!" My parents checked this LP out of the library, probably hoping for just that reaction. Had i heard it in quad back then, i shudder to think how big my collection might be by now! This sounds absolutely amazing through the SM v.2!

I have it on QUAD OPEN REEL but haven't spun it for decades/ And for hair loss, Clem, Take BIOTIN! It REALLY WORKS [I take 10K mcg per day]!

MAD LOVE to @Djabe ! My copy arrived – signed! What a lovely touch, and what a stellar entry into their already stellar catalogue! One of the most consistently excellent sets of recordings I own, from BOTH music and mix perspectives. Collect them ALL! Highly recommended! Stay Surrounded, Comrades!
