A very British BST or CTA is playing - The Greatest Show On Earth and their second and last album The Going's Easy.

Very nice rock-jazz or jazz-rock from 1970. I am amazed how modern this music sounds today almost 50 years later.

Allmusic on The Going's Easy

This vinyl rip is more than three years old and was my favorite. I had not listened to it for a few months, I think since the end of last summer.

Eagles - Hotel California (1976), Vinyl, Asylum, Original US

Now Playing + What are you listening to?

A1. Hotel California Months ago it sounded fantastic. I think now the details are clearer but I do not have the same certainty as with the previous record.

It sounds a second time and yes, there are more details, maybe even too many!

A2 New Kid In Town Sound very detailed.

A3 Life In The Fast Lane The same.

I think that when I finish the album I will have a little bit of ear fatigue. The problem is that ripping is exceptional.

 

[soundbrigade]

I like their last album - Long Road Out Of Eden much better.
