Today's selection was a 21 song CD that I made years ago...
Ferrante & Teicher - two pianos - assorted movie themes.
Great for relaxing, or background music.
Here's a taste.....

Midnight Oil, 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
Just picked it up from the Post Office yesterday. Original 1982 pressing in excellent condition.
My turntable doesn’t lift the stylus automatically. The end of Somebody’s Trying to Tell Me Something is really, really annoying, in that the last note doesn’t stop until you lift the stylus.
Still, bloody amazing album.
One of the reasons that I really love LPs is that you pretty-much have to listen to a whole side. No skipping songs.

The Beatles' Revolver: what a great album, can't wait for the Giles Martin remix later this month. Just about perfect; the songwriting, arrangements, effects and sheer imagination of the thing is still amazing today.
There are some albums I listen to literally every week; Abbey Road; Nigel Kennedy's Blue Note Sessions; Highway 61 Revisited; Are You Experienced; Kind of Blue; and Kate Bush's Hounds of Love.
10-1 is one of the great Oz albums, somehow its sound and production just sound like Australia.
LPs are good, but you need a CD in order to skip the Yoko Ono songs on Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey!

My greatest parenting success was, on hearing my daughter playing the My Chemical Romance cover of Desolation Row, giving her my copy of Highway 61 so she could hear the original.
An hour later she comes out of her room and takes my whole collection of Dylan CDs.
She refers to him as ‘the bard’.

Paul Simon, Graceland, 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Remastered), & as a 24bit 96kHz FLAC download...
The LP I purchased when it first came out back in 1986 was heavily worn & was charity shopped many years ago.....& the CD version will be following suit, as the FLAC file of the remaster is pretty good so say the least!
I suspect a heavyweight LP of the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Remastered), would sound pretty good on a nice deck/system...say a Linn...which I don't have!

Yesterday, on my turntable, I enjoyed my pristine 1968 copy of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap's Greatest Hits.
Quite a relaxing and enjoyable trip back in time.

I pretty much only listen to albums in their entirety, even from my digital file player. I don't have the patience to make playlists, and I don't really care for them anyway. I'm in a low-key mood today, spinning LPs. The last album I played was "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" (Riverside OJC remaster). I'm now listening to "Jim Hall Live" (1970s A&M Horizon). Noticing once again that good quality pressings from the 1970s sound pretty good.
I got the latest CD from The Doves and it didn't disappoint me. Guess their previous album was releast some 10 years ago ... or even more.
