There are many great famous bands but the Beatles were so much better collectively than the sum of their parts
Musical/poetry magic/history happened when they joined together.

I last got all these 🙂
Greatest Country And Western Hits (No. 4) - This one is in Mono
A 78: Frank Sinatra - That lucky old sun/Could Ja
A 78: Frank Sinatra - If I loved you/You'll never walk alone
A 78: Gene Autry - Rudolph the red nose reindeer/If it doesnt snow on christmas (*)
* - I found a FIRST PRESSING of this 78 -- The one I had didnt sound as good and had a skip @ the very end of the first song.. (Rudolph the red nosed reindeer) -- RED COLUMBIA LABEL (Sounds better than the re-press I had of this (As most original pressings do))

I remember when we use to used to have the 78 (OP) of that back in the early '50s
It always brings back great early childhood Christmas memories.🙂
Well yesterday I got:
A Cassette: Jack Wagner - All I need (Thats the only song I remember hearing off this album!! (All I need) but the whole thing sounds excellent! (Sometimes cassettes dont sound too good (Quite often the record of the SAME ALBUM sounds better)))
A Record: "Greatest country western hits" - There are 5 records in this set,they are all in Mono!! (They dont have a date on them,i tried to find info but I cant..... I found a stereo copy of this same set but it also didnt have a date!!) -- I believe it was put together in the 60s or early 70s......
TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC -- GOOD STUFF!!

Ernest Ansermet - Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker; Speakers Corner (Decca). Very nice! Reminds you that not all vinyl is created equal!
Iris~Shiawase no Hako
Iris~Box of Happiness by Salyu. (Ayako Mori) A somewhat rare single CD from Japan. She is one of my favorite female singers even though I don't understand Japanese. I have eclectic tastes. Her voice is strong and clear with good articulation. This song is the ending theme from the Nintendo game "Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box" (Devil's Box/Pandora's Box in other countries) in which she voiced one of the characters.
Here is a youtube live version of the song. And if you saw the movie "Kill Bill 1" you heard here sing this

Bought a pile of CDs last night. The eponymous "Redbird," Peter Mulvey's "Kitchen Radio," Kris Delmhorst's "Shotgun Singer," and David "Goody" Goodrich's new album, the name of which I just forgot. 😀
This is all part of the Americana/folk kick I got onto when I moved to Austin a few years ago.

George Benson and Al Jarreau - Givin it up
Just ordered Miles Davis - Kind of Blue.......Only £3.49
I've only listened to ( I couldn't remember if it was) Blue in Green or Green in Blue?? I just checked; B in G
Supposed to be an iconic album, how can it possibly be so cheap?

The Most Excellent Wife gifted me with two Robert Earl Keen albums, "No. 2 Live Dinner" and "Ready for Confetti." Pure Austin music at its best.
Bach and Beatles.
Just got one of the kids to give me: "Goldberg Variations" for Christmas. Chen Pi-hsien. I am not made keen on other interpretations.
And re: "The Beatles". I was around then. 61 yrs old now. I was a great fan at the time and bought at least one album, thought they were terrific but I noticed a few years ago that I can now pretty much take them or leave them be at the moment. I was a bit surprised to find I don't really dislike them, its just that I can't really be bothered listening to the end of their ANY of songs any more. Yet there is a lot of other material from that period I still really love..............so I'm a little perplexed by my reaction....
possibly a support group around for fellow suffers ha ha.
Cheers, Jonathan
