Thanks for your comments and totally understand what it’s like to be so busy! Really glad that emusers is here for the long term. I likewise listen to many of your tips and often for similar reasons. That is, to my mind, what makes this group so great to belong to.

For something nice and simple, how about “23 Blonde Redheads”?
Derived from the 2007 song and album "23" by Blonde Redhead.
An outstanding Shoegaze, Dream Pop album which is somewhat reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and Asobi… -
@rostasi I don't know if there is anything we can make of it but in Morse Code, the telegraphers' code 23 means "break the line". Also, 23 is apparently a "happy number"!Who could forget the song "Ghost Town" and the great video that went with it, by Terry Hall and the first era of The Specials.

(Quote) Yes, understood but I am such a big fan of the retro approach!
Does this mean that I'm lucky to just have my turntable bought in 1970 which is so easy to operate with no need to worry about Audacity et al!!??> @rostasi said:
> Yeah...I just can't. Something signed or in incredible packaging - or something that's not been re-released or was re-released, but messed up in it…And next to it was "Axis Bold As Love" by Jimi Hendrix!
Among the tracks, "Little Wing", "If 6 Was 9", "Castles in the Sand" and "Bold as Love".
No wonder that I bought it without a second thought!
The "Random Radio" discussion inspired me to look at all my old vinyl.
Top of the pile was this one, "Bless Its Pointed Little Head" by Jefferson Airplane filled with live recordings from Fillmore East and West and bought the year it came…Nothing like holding close your worn and scratched copy of The Doors first album secured in 1967, the year it first came out! Not to forget Carmen's 1973 "Fandangos in Space"!"Axe Music" the 1970 album by Crystalline alternatively called Axe, recently re-released on Guerssen Records on Bandcamp
Heard it for the first time the other day and it has fast become a firm favourite.
in Favourite Rock Albums from the late 60s and early 70s Comment by peterfrederics November 2022They have now actually committed to a Series 6Thanks @rostasi for those great tips for "Canterburied in Seattle 2002", "Progman 2003" and "High in the Morning - The British Progressive Pop Sounds of 1973".And if you want to relive those heady days back 50 years ago, what better way than the album set of "Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal: An Island Anthology 1967-1972"!
in Favourite Rock Albums from the late 60s and early 70s Comment by peterfrederics November 2022(Quote) And for samplers of British rock, it is difficult to go past those early Islands albums "You Can All Join In" and "Nice Enough To Eat" from 1969.
From those, I first heard King Crimson, John Martyn, Jethro Tull, Spooky Toot…Fascinating to listen to an album for the first time in over 40 years, having forgotten how good it was. Or actually, perhaps realising that it is really good, for the very first time!
The Nazz first album from 1968, "Nazz". This was the …(Quote) It is amazing how many top bands I first encountered through that album but particularly its 1968 predecessor "The Rock Machine Turns You On" and, to a lesser extent, "The Rock Machine: I Love You" - Spirit, BS&T, Taj Mahal, Elec…
