I think I need to buy those also....I see you are in the US. I really enjoy this one, and for less than $5, free shipping, can't beat it...https://www.ebay.com/itm/19180272536...AAAOSwbuJeWkmm

This is Richard Thompson's Mock Tudor album, from around 1999. An excellent album, mostly in the rock rather than folk style. It is raucous and loud and the song-writing is as good as it gets. He certainly does not appear to be happy on the romantic-relationship front. Still in print, available as a CD from Amazon. And of course on streaming services.

I should have mentioned the artist/title . I was making another suggestion to @w3w who was in the process of discovering RT. When he plays live (electric), "Crawl Back" really shows off his guitar playing skills. I have also seen him amplified acoustic, and it's impressive how powerful (for lack of a better word) he can make an acoustic sound.

A friend recently lent me this Rumor and Sigh by Richard Thompson which I quite liked
[ATTACH]36232[/ATTACH]

Did a little research on the artist and found he was a founding member of Fairport Convention so I found a deal for a 5 album box set on Amazon. Way different than the Rumor and Sigh album, they're all pretty good but I especially like this folksie "What we did on our Holidays"

Of the 5 albums in that box set Liege & Lief is pretty much universally acknowldged as the genre defining album of British Electric Folk. Superb work by all who play on it but particulalry Thompson & Sandy Denny.

For the $5.30 (there was tax) for the Mock Tudor album I'm a sucker. Bought the last one that the seller had. Says it should be here by Dec 30. Looking forward to it.

Happy New Year All!
This album has about the worst cover I have seen in a long time but the music is excellent

Home alone this weekend and the weather's bad. So I've been playing vinyl! Among the LPs given an outing on my turntable:
- Been in my collection since 1977 and still in pretty good condition...
- Alan Vega's second solo album, from 1981.

Playing Speed Of Life by David Bowie from Low (1977)

FLAC from my original bought on day of release vinyl copy. What an album!

The following text is the result of the new “Copy details” available from Now Playing in Material. Thanks Craig

On this forum it results in only a playable link but if you try it on a Social Media page eg Facebook the link transforms itself into a piece of cover art plus playable (in this case Qobuz) link.

Playing Bowie's "Low" after Jim mentioned it yesterday. "Always Crashing In The Same Car" playing right now. Love it. Every time I listen I hear more and more of the Brian Eno touch.

Eno’s twiddling is very evident across the whole album.

[Redrum]

another great album with Eno's contribution (surprisingly?)


I love the "soundscape" (for lack of a better description) he brings to allot of music. Similarly, Daniel Lanois (Emmylou Harris - Wreaking Ball, U2, etc.)
