At least it wasn't box set duration

I have a friend whose taste is usually reliable who thinks that box is one of Braxton's greatest achievements. I think it may have helped that he saw the band, or one very similar play GTM live

I never got on with that one either, in fact all Ghost Trance Music left me bewildered. The only period of AB's music that has done so

I have had several successful contacts with BC customer services, two in the last 6 months resolving damaged or non-appearing items. If you go to "Purchases", accessed through your profile picture, on the BC site under each purchase you should see a 'order help' link, follow this and you'll be presented with 5 order help options. It's a different layout on the app but essentially the same steps. In every instance I've used this it's either led to the issue being resolved directly by the seller or if not by BC intervention on my behalf. They like you to contact the seller in the first instance.

Bit of a 'Grail' on Rare Groove/Soul scene is my understanding. I played some, sounds good to me but not 4LPs worth. I have a DJ friend of a certain age who was all over this when it was announced.

Nice album

Me too now. I had no idea about that, thanks for highlighting. I've just found they're performing the scores in March

Those lyrics, especially "it's a dynamo" just go to reassert for me that ELP were as laughably bad as I thought they were when I was 14. Meanwhile, onto the BFT

Immanuel Wilkins - Blues Blood There's depth to this, more the more I listen

Another big 👍for Play Misty For Me Thanks for another interesting selection. Hearing Wishbone Ash again after all these years was a shock I wasn't planning on having and the Johnny Rivers was the big revelation for me And, Happy 2025 to you John and all other BFTers

I like that set

Interesting, thanks. What I really meant is that if a current group was choosing that name they were likely hitching to a bandwagon.

What's that? I like the cover. The group title makes me suspicious if it's contemporary but interested if not

Thanks John, that's just the reassurance I needed. A new year treat lined up

How is that John? I saw it for sale at a favourite shop recently and thought about it. I really like Folk, Blues & Beyond and often thought of investigating him more. This looks like a good opportunity What a great story. I wish I had had such an imaginative teacher. Late 80s Brixton was ok, edgy definitely but I think that was more by reputation than reality. I had many a good night out at the Academy then and survived the surrounding hostelries. My sister lived just off the main drag about then too.

😄 Improvement all round then, that's good

Thank you I'll seek it out, although I suspect I may miss quite a lot of the benefits of your great set up.

That makes me really want to hear this version. The album was a very early entry point on my Jazz entry

You drew up a good list! I hope you're all feeling a bit better today, at least you are well enough to listen to music

Your wife obviously knows her Jazz 😀...despite you claiming she doesn't Great album

I'm with a 92 and 89 yo, not sure either are quite ready!

This, of course has now got me singing Groove Is In The Heart. To myself, thankfully for my companions

Fear not, I went through that phase, admittedly a bit older, and look at my music taste now...

Metal Christmas to you all!!

Saw them perform it at the Vortex, they're very good (and seemingly very young too...)
