Just testing a newly repaired CDX (thanks for the info on the missing laser stop Martin🤒) with a bit of Nirvanha.... I just love these CDX CD players....

The Mole Show, live in Holland

The Residents

(I'm one of those big time Residents lovers)

A little Sunday morning swing,

Dire Straits-Dire Straits. New release remix and audiophile pressing on 180g vinyl.

Beomaster 6500/Beogram 6000

Enjoying the sound of my Beocord 5500 and a NOS TDK MA-XG60N (ex factory 4 at B&O in Struer!) with a recording of Master of Puppets by Metallica.

The sound is great even with Beovox S80.2.

"Calling Card" by Rory Gallagher

Nice one...... a true genius, much missed in my house.

Did you see him play live ?  I had the priviledge to see the great man play 7 times - whilst not the fastest, loudest or best dressed, in my opinion he was the real deal as far as blues/rock players go  showing Clapton, Page,  SRV etc  how it should be done.

I'm off to play Blueprint now - you've inspired me.

Sadly I didn't discover how good he was until after he died so I never got to see him.

A friend of mine was a hardcore fan from the vary early days and saw him 30-40 times in all and told me how good he was. Nearly eveything he did is on Spotify and there is an excellent 5-CD box set available on Amazon for a pretty nominal sum (About £12 last time I looked).

The most similar talent  still touring is probably Walter Trout who is far better live than on record.

New discovery:

spending the Easter Friday catching up on a week of Beoworld postings ... and listening to collections for a change rather than random play; so a day of:

• Dory Previn including her 20+ minute PlanetBlue
• Edith Piaf
• Johnny Farnham

plus a couple of "newbies" from iTunes browsing

Got one of my favourite albums on double vinyl the other day after I won £25 of HMV vouchers. Listening to 'Rolling People' from Urban Hymns by the verve on my Beolab 8000 system.
