CD Spin Central Reservation - Beth Orton enjoyed her music after seeing her at an all dayer at Crystal Palace, London in the mid 90s. Other highlights of the day were Skunk Anansie and Republica #nowplaying #BethOrton

Today's Spin Stand Up - Jethro Tull music critics weren't overly impressed at the time but it became their only No.1 UK album so Tull fans liked it anyway. An excellent album as far as I'm concerned #vinyl #nowplaying #JethroTull

Today's Spin Sea Shanties - High Tide forgot how good this 1969 album is, dirty, grungy sometimes excessively rambling, I absolutely fucking love it. Saw them live at The Lyceum Ballroom in 1970 #vinyl #nowplating #HighTide

Today's Spin Electric Ladyland - The Jimi Hendrix Experience #vinyl #nowplaying #TheJimiHendrixExperience

Today's Spin All Things Must Pass - George Harrison arguably the best post Beatles album by any of them, in any event it's my favourite. #vinyl #nowplaying #GeorgeHarrison

Today's Spin Hogwash - Groundhogs My least favourite of theirs. I have a recent issue with a second disc of BBC live recordings of 6 of the tracks. Unsurprisingly I prefer the live versions #vinyl #nowplaying #Groundhogs

Today's Spin In Search Of Space - Hawkwind I need more Hawkwind #vinyl #nowplaying #Hawkwind

CD Spin 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve - Chicken Shack For me 1968 was Chicken Shack, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall etc. and discovering all the artists they covered and more #vinyl #nowplaying #ChickenShack

Today's Spin Nursery Cryme - Genesis #vinyl #nowplaying #Genesis

Today's Spin So - Peter Gabriel his most successful album from which 2 iconic MV's came - Sledgehammer & Don't Give Up #vinyl #nowplaying #PeterGabriel

CD Spin On The Boards - Taste Great album #nowplaying #Taste #RoryGallagher

Today's Spin Heartbreaker - Free Their final album. Stated line-up on sleeve - Rodgers, Kirke, Tetsu & Rabbit with credits to Koss inaccurately stated on the sleeve although he did play on 5 of the 8 tracks. Andy Fraser had left the band but still an excellent album. #vinyl #nowplaying #Free

CD Spin Keeper Of The Light - Wishbone Ash also released as Wishbone Ash Live In Chicago & The Ash Live In Chicago. Brilliant live album whatever it's called. #nowplaying #WishboneAsh

Today's Spin Eagles Live #vinyl #nowplaying #Eagles

CD Spins Rock Bottom - Robert Wyatt Tenacious - Kellie While have to be in the right mood for the eccentric Robert Wyatt, like Kellie's only solo album a lot. #nowplaying #RobertWyatt #KellieWhile

Today's Spin Scheherazade -Rimsky Korsakov, performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra felt as if I should have been watching from a box in The Royal Albert Hall #vinyl #nowplaying #Rimsky-Korsakov

CD Spin Bryter Layter - Nick Drake #nowplaying #NickDrake

Today's Spin Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan doesn't sound like a 1966 album at all, excellent record #vinyl #nowplaying #BobDylan

CD Spin Solid Air - John Martyn an excellent album #nowplaying #JohnMartyn

Today's Spin Communiqué - Dire Straits My second favourite by a smidgeon after their first #vinyl #nowplaying #DireStraits

CD Spin Little Lights - Kate Rusby Beautiful Album and her cover of Richard Thompson's 'Withered And Died' originally sung by Linda Thompson is sublime. I forget to mention Kate Rusby as one of my favourite female vocalists but now I've reminded myself I think it'll stick. #nowplaying #KateRusby

Today's Spin Songs From A Room - Leonard Cohen not my favourite of his but an excellent album nonetheless #vinyl #nowplaying #LeonardCohen

CD Spin Born Again - Bridear excellent album #nowplaying #Bridear

Today's Spin The Beatles / 1962 -1966 aka 'The Red Album' All Lennon/McCartney songs, although George wrote only a handful of songs in this period, I Need You & If I Needed Someone are very good songs and could have been squeezed in surely. #vinyl #nowplaying #TheBeatles

CD Spin Dark Passion Play - Nightwish has several great tracks but overall my least favourite of the 4 of theirs that I have. #nowplaying #Nightwish

Today's Spin Extra Now That's What I Call Music 20 - Various thankfully that's the last of my Now series except for a seasonal one that I'll save for that time. #vinyl #nowplaying #NowThat'sWhatICallMusic

Today's Spin The Christians S/T 1987 debut and an enjoyable listen. Forgotten Town is the standout track for me #vinyl #nowplaying #TheChristians

Today's Spin Chicago 17 - Chicago I can only judge by the 4 LPs I have but this seems to be a lot funkier than 2, 3 & 10. My second favourite anyway after 3. #vinyl #nowplaying #Chicago

Today's Spin Extra Now That's What I Call Music 15 - Various due entirely to my musical taste but this one is by far and away the best of the series that I have. Side 4 is a bit iffy but otherwise the only one I'd actually listen to again #vinyl #nowplaying #NowThat'sWhatICallMusic

Today's Spin Extra Now That's What I Call Music 12 - Various #vnyl #nowplaying #NowThat'sWhatICallMusic

Today's Spin Naturally - J J Cale His 1971 debut album. Another one of my favourite artists which I only found because of Clapton's cover of his earlier and faster version of After Midnight that had originally been released as a b side of a single in 1966. #vinyl #nowplaying #JJCale

Today's Spin Extra Now That's What I Call Music 11 - Various Joe Le Taxi is one of my favourite pop songs, elevated by the sax #vinyl #nowplaying #NowThat'sWhatICallMusic
