The Beatles - Revolver (1967)

I heard reference to this wonderful record on Radio National today. The cover for Revolver was created by German-born bassist and artist Klaus Voormann , whose birthday it was today.

Elton John - Honky Chateau (1972)

Before my tastes became a little more eclectic and sophisticated, I was an Elton John obsessive. This holds some fantastic memories and remains a cracking good record.

Tortoise - Beacons Of Ancestorship (2009)

Some of this reminds me a bit of Herbie Hancock and the robotic dancing legs of “Rockit. There’s some serious funky jazz going on here.

Amon Düül II - Yeti (1970)

If you really want to kickstart your Krautrock adventures with smoking wheels there’s simply is no better place to start. This is a guitar-driven, all balls out, Meisterstück that is worthy of all accolades.

Nocturnal Projections - Complete Studio Recordings (1983)

While a truly miserable record and definitely of its time, this relic of the early 80’s is the antithesis of much of todays formulaic garbage.

Luna - A Sentimental Education (2017)

This is the first Luna release in quite some years. (well 13 years if you want to be more precise). Kiwi Dean Wareham’s droll deliver is just perfect as I prepare our “Hello Fresh” construction this evening.

Haim - Women In Music Pt.III (2020)

This sprawling, hooks-heavy third release from the Haim sisters is also sonically magnificent. As with the first two vinyl releases it’s mastered at 45rpm.
