The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

My mum used to listen to this on radio 4 in the kitchen and along with my addiction to the 2000 AD comic (robo hunter/ nemesis the warlock anyone?) this predated my love of music. I bought the LP years later and digging it out tonight still makes me laugh

Regards,

Let's go for me, my last listens before my TT began to let me down lol

-The Who - Who's Next? Still one of the most accomplished albums of the 70'S in my opinion....just talking about won't get fooled again give me chills lol
-The Doors - Strange Days (well, no comment, the title speak for itself, a beauty, and a jewel which i'll play endlessly on my turntable - well, when i change it lol)
-And the Last one i listened to: Abbey Road - The Beatles, an album which had always been underestimated, for obscured reasons. Just listen to the song(s) of the Side 2 to understand why the Beatles were genius!

Hi everybody!

Here a Record (double) that is breaking my heart: Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin - because i bought it a few days ago thinking that i could save it even if it was a little tired, but in reality, the 2nd vinyl s curved like the INdianapolis SPeedway lol

So, i just listened to the first Record (at least Kashmir gave me a looong moment of pleasure)...But anyway, patience will leed me to find another in good conditions!

good listens everybody!

PS: Bastlnut, don't you think Sgt. Pepper is a bit overestimate as one of the best Beatles albums? (i don't know, the White ALbum for example is technically far far above sgt pepper...)

[frankwm]

To make a change...

Two albums that have entertained me (when I'm not tied to the computer..composing ditties)

"An Evening With Beatrice Lillie" Decca LK4129/London 5212. 1955
Great performances of such standards as:
"There are fairies at the bottom of our garden"

"Movin" Kay Starr (no relation to Ringo LOL)
Capitol Stereo ST1254 - original pressing from 1959.
Fantastic sound -Ballsy/Dynamic performances
Great pair of lungs!

[frankwm]

A less recherche choice here.

One of my favourite albums (non-classical).

LAURA NYRO: "New York Tendaberry" CBS63510 (1969)

This is one I kept from a small collection I bought 10 years ago - most of the others (Brain Salad Surgery/Strawbs, etc) I sold to pay for the parts to repair the Quad ESL57s that I'd purchased as part of the 'deal'.

Nice Screamer!

[Swell41]

here is one of the last records which will be spinning on my SL-Q200 (i'm going to have a TD 145 MKI ) is Counterfeit² - Martin L. Gore. I bought it yesterday brand new 6€, just curious of the quality of a record that is made today...Well, that's a pretty heavy vinyl pressing, and the sound is not as bad as i thought at all (of course the source is certainly numeric).

Anyway, it's a good good effort from a man who could be called "the Heart of Depeche Mode", with a serie of covers brillantly interpreted. I recommende it for every fan of DM.
