Various Artists - Lazarus (Original Cast Recording) (2016)

Great reinterpretation of Bowie songs by the original cast members of “Lazarus” - a stage show commissioned by Mr. Jones himself just prior to his death in 2016.

Lonely The Brave - The Day's War: Victory Edition (2014)

Debut release from big boy Cambridge rockers. While it’s not …… hideous, it’s not something I’m likely to have on high rotation.

Steven Wilson - Home Invasion: In Concert At The Royal Albert Hall (2018)

I could rave for all eternity on the utter brilliance of todays Tidal release. I’m not going to coz you all know I’ve had this SW addiction for some time now and I’m probably preaching to the unconvertable.

Queen - A Night At The Opera [DVD] (1975)

There’s simply no denying that this record is a true masterpiece. I’m not a Queen fan by any means but this is without question one of the high points of the 70’s.

Wire - Red Barked Tree (2011)

A randomly chosen selection this evening. Despite being four decades since their highly revered, smack-you-around-the-head trio of utter brilliance, Mr Colin Newman and Co return with a very worthy stunner that harks back to their best.

Portishead - Third (2008)

I have only listened to this record 3 or 4 times. It is a truly unsettling experience and I do mean this is the most positive way.

Phil Collins - Both Sides (1993)

I’m far from being a musical snob, but I did try and hide Phil’s face as I discreetly slid the monstrous double vinyl cover across the counter before parting with my $19.

Imelda May - Life. Love. Flesh. Blood. (2017)

A very classy, post-break-up-with-hubby record produced by T Bone Burnett. There’s some real texture and reverby guitar added to proceedings that is in real contrast to her previous “clean” rockabilly recordings.

The Gentle Storm - The Diary (Gentle) (2015)

I knew absolutely nothing about this particular gatefold sleeved, double CD wedged amongst the boxes of unloved discs sitting under the big “clearance” sign.
