Thanks, it's a US pressing by Shanachie records, but on Pablo's Message label. The track listing on the sleeve and the label are incorrect, too, but it's good vinyl and sounds great.
The album in the frame is the original UK pressing of Catch A Fire with the zippo lighter cover. Island produced about 20,000 of these, but the sleeve is very fragile so not many copies have survived well over the years.

Nice playing ! Very good covers all around.Yeah ! you are a drummer ?
I'm also a drummer; I played in several bands here in France for several years. I tested quite a few snare drums, in particular, for the magazine "batteur magazine".

uploaded to limewire , let me know if that works. Please listen on KH120s with subs for best results.
why the speakers so far from the front wall? Isn't SBIR an issue? are you using subs for music?
More interested in the yammie and sonor than the HiFi -

Hi,
If you look at The post I made before that one just above it you’ll see a photo from just outside the room of my other Thiel speakers.
And you can see that my home theater speakers (in black) occupy the space near the back wall, and the floor standing two channel speakers - my Thiels and Joseph - have to be pulled clear of the room entrance so we can get in and out of the room, which means pulling them up close to the sofa.
However, as it happens, that is still the location I would prefer for the speakers in any case. Because I like to be about seven or at the most 8 feet away from my loudspeakers, and that’s where they end up in this position.
Both speakers work very well when pulled out into the room like that and away from the wall behind them. They sound very evenly balanced.
I do not use subwoofers as I do not feel the need. For a while I had dual subwoofers, a very high quality and flexible external crossover, as well as DSP applied to further out the response. I did not find it added much value sonically to what I already had, and I did not care for the extra equipment, so I sold my subwoofer related stuff.
My odd-shaped room is no good with some types of speaker but horns excel. There are also a couple of REL S812 subs (each with twin 12" drivers) but they make virtually no improvement to the bass so will be sold soon. I really don't need 8 12" drivers in total!

My dedicated listening room (no TV!) is most precious to me. Speakers are little Maggies and Vandersteens. In my book the Maggies kill the Vandys in terms of clarity and definition and imaging. So they're the ones that are actually hooked up, plus they need that 10" Dayton Titanic sub, a nice match.

Spring L3 KTE DSD512x48 / DSD1024x48
ROCK → Cisco Unmanaged Switch → ASRock B760i Lightning WiFi → Sugo i914000 - 4070 Super Unbuntu HQplayer Embedded → Raspberry NAA → Intona → Spring L3 KTE → Pre-Amp → Accuphase e-280 → PS S300 → QRE Cables → Kudos Cardena C10 + REL 7/x Sub
Took many years to build it up, mostly from display sales and audio shops closing down. The PS S300 update helped drive the Kudos C10 base much faster. Before it was a bit boomy, now can notice more overall control.
