Delivered today! I saw 14 National shows on the I am Easy to Find tour and fell in love with Kate Stables. (She performs many backing vocals on the record) Finally saw her band, This is the Kit, as support at two shows in Glasgow. Wonderful!!!

Saw her in Newcastle (Gateshead technically) and she was superb live!!
Hope her new album is as good as her earlier efforts!!

#1103-1104

Senegal 70
Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball

The music of each West African country is strikingly different and while I love the Funk of Benin, the Manding of Mali, and highlife of Ghana, for me best of - most beguiling of all - is Senegalese music. It's hypnotic with almost Islamic singing married to sinuous guitar. This compilation is great but it's worth checking anything out by Orchestre Baobab or Star Band de Dakar.
And a fresh grab - this sounds wonderful from Emmylou. Just wish she would re-release Stumble Into Grace.

Just spun this one the other day for the first time in god knows how long, at least a couple years. Still holds up beautifully!

Just had a real Wow moment with the Insight & this record! Sounds so much better. Never saw what the fuss was about having it on vinyl.
But now I see.
Enjoy your weekends Vinyl Party People!!

 

[Phaneronic]

Gorillaz - Gorillaz

 

[Selaws]

The Jazz Couriers With Ronnie Scott And Tubby Hayes - In Concert (Tempo, 1958 First Mono Pressing)

A fantastic live recording from what was arguably the greatest jazz group to be formed in Britain (although some contemporary groups are rivalling that claim!)




Edit: This album was recorded live during their UK tour with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Heres a copy of the programme from that tour, with a few photos etc.

Hot take: It's definitely nice but it's the Daft Punk album that probably sees the smallest improvement. Then again I know they remastered it, probably because it's the only modern record to need a new mastering because they wore the original stampers out, so can't really comment if that's the one you have.
