Pulp - Different Class

I got tired of looking for the pricey original so I gave it and got the 2016 reissue on an Import CD 20% off sale. It sounds fine to me even though some of the Discogs comments panned it.

Really surprisingly great sounding album.   I guess you don't always have to have APs or Tone Poets to get quality.

Stones Tattoo You

Playing a rough copy that I listed cheap.   This is actually a better album than I had remembered.   Little T&A was such a Spinal Tap track that I never took the album seriously, but it actually has quite a few strong spots.   It's also amazing how decent beat up vinyl can sound sometimes.

Billy Idol's first two albums.   I found them at the thrift.   They actually hold up better than I expected.

I have a copy of "Rebel Yell' here but I am saving it until I buy some Rebel bourbon to go along with it.   

Currently listening to 'Meditations for Piano' by Borah Bergman (Tzadik)     Nice music for the morning.

Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily

I finally got a hold of the vinyl.   I've read so many rave reviews that maybe my expectations were a bit too high.   It's very clear and articulate, but I would like a little more slam on the kick drum.

Kathleen Edwards - Back to Me.

If any of you guys are fans, she announced pre orders of her first album, Failer, today.   It was the only one I didn't have (because it was never issued on vinyl) and I couldn't be more excited!

She's so friggin' great.

Billy Bragg and Wilco - Mermaid Avenue

It seems that out of nowhere some copies of the 2013 vinyl showed up in a warehouse.   I've almost bought this for $80 more than once.   I was thrilled to get it from Plaid Room for $35 new.

The Glyn Johns Get Back from the new Let it Be box.   I had a bootleg of it years ago, it's nice to hear it sounding better than it ever did.

Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual

She doesn't seem so unusual now, but the music still holds up.

Joe Pass - For Django (BN Tone Poet series).

I had a few of Joe's comeback albums, but never any of the recordings he made as a young man. This is sublime.

That's one I bought at Heads Together way back.  Blue Note reissue series in the mid 70s.

As an aside,  those receipts from Tone Poet and other higher priced purchases might be helpful in the future.....
