gregs45s SUBS 6th Sep 2024		CD Album Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble - Live At Montreux 1982 And 1985 (2001)	"By the summer of 1982, Stevie Ray Vaughan was already a veteran of the Southern blues circuit. Desperately searching for his big break, he was asked to play "Blues Night" at the annual Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. Playing like his life depended on it, Stevie put on a fiery performance-full of future SRV classics like "Pride And Joy" and "Love Struck Baby". The Audience could have cared less. Every song Stevie played was greeted by an increasing wave of boos and hisses and he left the stage bewildered and heart-broken. As fate would have it, this would be the most important single show Stevie ever played. In attendance at the festival were two figures who would prove instrumental in Stevie's subsequent rise to stardom: David Bowie and Jackson Browne. They immediately recognised Stevie's raw talent and limitless passion. As a result, Jackson Browne offered Stevie the opportunity to record (free of charge) at his own studio-the tapes that would be "Texas Flood"-Stevie's first studio album for Epic Records. In Addition, Stevie was asked to play on Bowie's hugely successful "Let's Dance" album and tour. Three years later, when Stevie was invited back to headline "Blues Night" at the festival, the crowd, now familiar with Stevie's songs and albums treated him like the conquering hero. And Stevie again played like his life depended on it-because, as we all came to recognise and respect, that was the only way he knew how."

gregs45s SUBS 31st Aug 2024		CD Album The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come (1987)	With a nod to leonard, frank itiis, Mariner16, a couple more of scans of the booklet added (and a request to shuffle them into the right order), and, a Gold Disc scan added (i realise M.P.O. Discs bronze with age) but this is not that,it's a specific Gold Disc issue. (booklet and rear tray art matches scans shown exactly)
gregs45s SUBS 30th Aug 2024		CD Album The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1988)	With a nod to kab2112, some more scans added. I bought my copy at a record fair a while ago, and, i honestly thought there was no OBI, but, pleasantly suprised on looking in the artwork to find both the OBI and lyric fold-out (happy:). Looking at the colour of the green on my copy though, it looks like it might be sun faded (on the front cover/OBI, the back of the booklet and the rear tray artwork matches the green on kab2112's scans) the correct green for the front is on kab2112's scans i think. (i've also put in a request to change the date to 21st Dec 1988, as kei masaru has commented, as that's what's on the back.) (This is the first Japanese release of Pet Sounds)
gregs45s SUBS 28th Aug 2024		CD Album Chris Isaak - San Francisco Days (1993)	With a nod to RPFiller, rest of scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 28th Aug 2024		CD Album New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call (2005)	With a nod to Jo Atmon, SteveG11, Quad5point1, a couple more scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 27th Aug 2024		CD Album Gorillaz - Song Machine (2020)	Just noticed, if you lighten image 3658526, there's a creepy figure in the r-hand window, Damon? ;)
gregs45s SUBS 27th Aug 2024		CD Album George Carlin - Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics (1990)	With a nod to 23skidoo, a couple more scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 25th Aug 2024		CD Album Masked Intruder - Masked Intruder (2012)	This is a great idea, they can play the gig, then go to the pub afterwards with masks off and not be hassled ;)
gregs45s SUBS 24th Aug 2024		CD Album Aurora [Norway] - Infections Of A Different Kind Of Human (2020)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 24th Aug 2024		CD Album Aurora [Norway] - Infections Of A Different Kind Of Human (2020)	[YouTube Video]
gregs45s SUBS 24th Aug 2024		CD Album Marconi Union - Distance (2011)	(note: the grey surrounding the black cover is part of the artwork, it's not my bad cropping;)
gregs45s SUBS 24th Aug 2024		CD Album Dave Brubeck Quartet - Park Avenue South (2003)	With a nod to Careys, added scans of front and back of Digipak with full border and a CD scan (out of tray).
gregs45s SUBS 21st Aug 2024		CD Album Crooked Smile - A Million Things To Say... (1997)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 21st Aug 2024		CD Album Violent Soho - Waco (2016)	Australian band formed 2004 in Brisbane.
gregs45s SUBS 20th Aug 2024		CD Album Simon And Garfunkel - Simon And Garfunkel Best	Unsure of date on this unofficial release, perhaps Kei Masaru could help?.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Aug 2024		CD Album The Drums - Abysmal Thoughts (2017)	I think this is the American "The Drums", same group we have on the live music listings.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Aug 2024		CD Album Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else (2016)	Had an opportunity here to directly compare this SHM-CD to the European RVG edition, and, to my ears and on my system (Arcam cd/Mission Cyrus amp/Mission speakers), the whole soundstage is larger, the clarity of the instruments is the same, but the instuments seem to be wider/better placed in the recording, more "depth". Conclusion, an improvement, definitely, if only minor on an "average" set up, but still obviously apparent, would be more noticeable i expect on a more expensive system. (a nice alternate take of Autumn Leaves as a bonus track on this one also)
gregs45s SUBS 19th Aug 2024		CD Album Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else (1999)	With a nod to 55bluesman, couple more scans added.
gregs45s SUBS 18th Aug 2024		CD Album Alexandre Desplat - Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets (2017)	With a nod to T.o.D., some more scans added. I enjoyed the film, a good mix of great special effects with a bit of humour thrown in.
