Mumford & Sons - Rushmere 2025 (2025)

Back to roots anthemic, emotional, lyrical. The vinyl itself is dead flat and mostly quiet. Sound is good although not the same soundstage as Sigh No More.

Their musical ties and circles show in their musicianship.

Richard Cheese - The Sunny Side Of The Moon 2006 (2023)

Lounge Music to leave you both wondering what just happened and if it's legal.

I'm a prude with a smile, strangely.

Cymande - Second Time Round 1973 (2023)

Great sounding vinyl with a great soundstage. Only caught up with this music recently. Old guys relaxed in what they do.

Has a touch of Ezra Collective. Seemed bigger in US despite birthplace.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes 1984 (1984)

If you own it you know how good this was(is). Politically and Musically. We humans are still biting our own necks. My generation lucky enough to live with Gorbachev in the main.
Vinyl thin but great sound.

Lowedges - 2003 (2023)

A wink of an eye to a District in Sheffield and a doffed cap to his Dad with "l'm on Nights"
It's crafted with a woven steeliness straight from Sheffield
Decent press if a little compressed. (Clear)
Hawley & Band are as good live.

Mereba - The Breeze Grew A Fire 2025 (2025)

Mmm. Not sure about this one music wise. Bass is infectious but bloaty vocals are poppy, think Joy Crookes. Maybe it will grow.
Vinyl badly warped but silent. Compressed for CD. Music a little rushed.

Van Morrison – A Sense Of Wonder 1984 (1984)

Picked up at a record fair recently. Very flat and centred well. Quiet after a clean. Sonics vary song by song, Some thin others rather well rounded. Volume increase needed.
Music itself feeds me well.

Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman 1988 (1988)
Great to hear this is to be reissued for the 1st time at 35 years! This UK 1st press is top notch. A digital recording with DMM pressing. In truth it's very well mastered, flat, dynamic and dead silent #vinyl

Hot House Flowers - People 1988 (1988)

Brilliant under appreciated songs even discounting "the big one" This Irish band certainly had a touch of Van Morrison.

Forget 180g records this is 100g max, dead flat, centred correctly and rather nice sounding.

Rich Dawson - End of the middle 2025.

Lived in house in the picture most of my life. Nice to have a connection. The scene is still local to me.
Vocals unusual with everyday topics expressed in a very likable way, a little like in the bus stop I guess.

Richard Hawley - Coles Corner 2005 (2019)

20th anniversary in Sept of this beautifully crafted atmospheric masterpiece. Strange that the building on the cover is not "coles corner" but a theatre in Scarborough.

Vinyl is silent and flat with decent dynamics.

KanYe West - Graduation 2007

Never officially released on vinyl so this is a Bootleg.
As a Daft Punk you are lead to this Stronger hit.

Record is quite flat, centred well. Sound is OK, a little muddled & thin but a volume increase will give it lungs. Few pops.

A late to the party artist for me. Brilliant musicians. Recommend them live.
Pressing is good with some nice tight bass whilst keeping good highs. Flat & Noise free vinyl.

Sade - Stronger than pride (1988) 2024 1/2 speed reissue

Another belter of a record, albeit a few pops here and there. Sounds lovely and no denying her talent. More of an organic backing would be cherry on cake. Flat pressing.

Sade - Love Deluxe 1992 (2024 1/2 speed reissue)

Lots of talk about poor pressing. Not evident here. Flat, noise free, well rounded sound, dreamy.
To young to appreciate back in the day. Can now see why she had such a following.

Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More 2009

With a new album on the horizon I felt Sunday was a day to sigh no more.
Really good lyrics put to anthemic uplifting like instrument arrangements.
Vinyl is quite dynamic despite a few pops after U/S clean.

#Rumer - In Session. Released Jan 25

A rehashed release of loved tracks with a more soulful relaxed (think Norah Jones) backing from previous songs.

I like her music and I am happy to have this lovely sounding, flat release on vinyl.

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings – Woodland
A late Listen to an album I read about and was quite looking forward to.
Mastered from original tapes from their studio.
This release is top notch. Dynamic, quiet and beautifully crafted.
Just a little warping.

Raye - My 21st Century Blues
Debut Album. Released in 2023 as an independent artist.

The album is a great listen as much for topics as for the dynamics. Superb base texture. The Neat speaker shines in the highs with the AMT tweeter.
