Roger Waters new version of DSOTM.
 I approached with some trepidation, but   I liked it
Different. Very different from the original and much more downbeat but well worth a listen

Ian McNabb - New Brighton Rock. Continuing his recent purple patch with another excellent album. I could do without the Foreigner cover but the rest is well up to par.

Still waiting for mine to arrive but I hope we get the long promised set of Fleetwood Mac covers next.

I am listening to Dig The Mountain!, the new album from the reformed Stornoway, a cause for huge celebration.

Fab, isn't it...our signed one came the other day.  Supposed to be seeing them next weekend and then 2 weeks later but I'm still debating whether this is a sensible (Covid/other viral stuff) move or not...flying to Oz as I am 2 weeks/1 day later.  We'll see.

I Want to Know What Love Is. Slightly more bearable than the original but only just.

There is a good version by Ann Peebles, though I heard her do a session around the release of the Brand New Classics album I liked it even more.

Just listened to/watched Bob and The Heartbreakers playing Farm Aid 2023, with Bob on electric guitar throughout. Fabulous. Maggies Farm, Positively 4th Street and Ballad of a Thin Man. Mike Campbell and , particularly, Benmont Tench are just perfect.

Love Chronicles is my least played Al Stewart album.  Not sure why, maybe just too autobiographical.  Orange must be my most played AS album.

As, in those days, my collection was much smaller than it is now I used to play favourite albums a lot more frequently than now. Love Chronicles was probably my second most played album ever, after Eclection. Other notables were Surrealistic Pillow, Whos Next, WWDOOH, Ogdens, Skull & Crossbones, Cosmos Factory, forever Changes, Astral Weeks.

The Sadies - Colder Streams. They never made much of an impression on me back in the day but seem to have become one of those rare bands that gets better and better with time. 25 years on from their debut they've made what is without doubt their best album so far, highlight of the year so far for me I think.

Yes I remember those days of a smaller record collection- I knew them all so well 😊

Robert Wyatt  and friends  :  Live at th  Theatre Royal Drury  Lane , September  8th, 1974  (Ryko CD, 2005).

Although this is stitched together from rather imperfect  tapes, this is a great live album with moments of passion,  fire, and humour.  The young Mike Oldfield plays guitar.

Hatfield and the North:  Hatfield and the North (Virgin CD).

KHAN :  Space  Shanty  (Eclectic  CD, 2002).



 Two Canterbury related albums in an evening, and I confess i got tired half way through Space Shanty and went to bed.  I'm not wild about all Canterbury music- only Soft Machine and Wyatt and Kevin Ayers,   but both these CDs  have been experimental buys which I've never completely given up on.
