[/QUOTE]

ouch pt. 2 - always been a favourite of mine, string arrangements et al.

 

Fave National LP

​

 

Madonna - American Life - great fun, the hifi really swings

 

Herbie Hancock, Maiden Voyage, lovely music. Hancock was a virtuoso.

 

Enjoying this, sounds kind of in-between mono and stereo.

 

What an album, such a unique sound. A lot of people's favourite I think.

 

Elbow - Leaders of the Free World

Tidal

 

Ian Brown - Music of the Spheres

Tidal

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love (2022)

 

Anti- – 7569-1. LP, Remastered, 2018. "Every performance on this album was recorded simultaneously with the orchestra in the studio with no overdubbing or multi-tracking; and was mixed directly to the 2-track master tape as it was being performed." Is that Rickie Lee Jones on the cover?

 

Wiki

Pictured on the cover with Waits is a Native American woman named Marsheila Cockrell, who worked at the box office of The Troubadour in Los Angeles. "She was a girl who was... not a girlfriend but she thought she was a girlfriend."[3]

"For the album cover Waits wanted to convey the film-noir mood that coloured so many of the songs. Veteran Hollywood portraitist George Hurrell was hired to shoot Waits, both alone and in a clutch with a shadowy female whose ring-encrusted right hand clamped a passport to his chest. The back-cover shot of Tom was particularly good, casting him as a slicked-back hoodlum—half matinee idol, half hair-trigger psychopath. The inner sleeve depicted the soused singer clawing at the keys of his Tropicana upright."[3]​
