Reading. Getting back to it for the last few chapters. Interesting for the British recording industry culture at the time.

 

[CuteStudio]

I tried to find a couple of videos of some songs but it seems a lot of the music I like is top secret; internet searches turn up various videos posted up by people have been taken down and squashed. Perhaps it's just me but didn't artists used to want publicity?

Here's a rather good song that's just finished (although this is the best in the album IMO).

Katy Rose, Snowflake. Enchanted is also quite good.

And for something completely different, currently playing, good for tuning the bass

Miles Davis - Porgy and Bess (1959)

The beginning of this recording sounds terrible. As it continues to play, it gets back to normal.

Last night we wondered if we simply became acclimated to the bad sound after listening for a while.
So I replayed the intro, the answer to that question was a resounding No!

Carla Bley and her Remarkable Big Band - Appearing Nightly (live) (2008)

"Carla Bley, the enfant terrible of modern jazz, returns with another fulminating prank. After two studio albums with her current working band The Lost Chords, the eternally feminine edition of Andy Warhol breaks new ground with her Remarkable Big Band and presents her new album "Appearing Nightly".

Really nostalgic material was recorded at the Paris New Morning Club. In a positive sense, traditional new compositions Bleys can be heard, which can not come from anyone other than perhaps the greatest contemporary jazz composer in terms of both dynamic robustness and tongue-in-cheek wit. There is also a piece by British composer and arranger Ray Noble."

Porgy and Bess, dare I admit it’s on vinyl?

Not to me.... I listened to Porgy & Bess in the late 60's on LP.

@Ceburaska I am not familiar with the LP you displayed. Do you know when it was released? and if it is on CD? Thanks

Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill (1972)

 

[Wombat]

I am buying pre-seventies, or so, Stones CDs to complement my original vinyl LPs. BCD(before CD).

These albums capture some of the excitement of their live performances before they became too rote.
