The amazing 'Tago Mago' by Can. A classic #Krautrock release from 1971. I bought this! s/h back around 74 for about £1.30. I loved the UA label with Hawkwind and Man etc and bought it on reading the sleeve notes. Wow pretty out there, but loved it. #CanBand #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #Dailyvinyl

'Das Lied von Der Erde' Mahler's magnificent symphony for alto and tenor. This version was the first of many others. 'Der Abschied' is a simply sublime 31' finale #ChristaLudwig #RenéKollo #HerbertVonKarajan #BerlinPhilharmoniker #nowplaying #ClassicalMusic #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #vinyllover

Another great ECM release with the debut Gateway album from 1975. The great trio of Abercrombie, Holland and DeJohnette. The second album 'Gateway2' is even better for me #JohnAbercrombie #DaveHolland #JackDeJohnette #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #ECMrecords #ECMJazz #vinyl

This mornings ECM LP is Triplicate by the Dave Holland Trio. One of the greatest jazz bass players. Here with Steve Coleman on alto sax and the superb Jack DeJohnette on drums. Fave track is Rivers Run 👍 #ECMrecords #nowplaying #DaveHolland #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

'New Directions in Europe ' and Exceptionally good live ECM album by #JackDejohnette released in 1980. He left us with so much great music 🙏 #JohnAbercrombie #LesterBowie #EddieGomez #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #ECMrecords #ECMjazz

'Special Edition's One of the best Jack Dejohnette albums IMHO from 1980. RIP Jack 🙏. A truly great musician. No censorship on this album cover like the last Miles Davis posting 🙄 #JackDeJohnette #nowplaying #VinylComunnity #DailyVinyl #BlueSkyVinyl ##ECMJazz #ECMrecords

'Purpendicular' 1996, one of the best #DeepPurple albums and a brilliant come back and first with #SteveMorse' on guitar 🎸 'Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming' is superb. They were brilliant on the tour that followed. #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #IanGillan #JonLord #RogerGlover #IanPaice

'Aqua' the excellent 1974 debut solo album by Edgar Froese. Released after Phaedra and before Rubycon. It's so like Tangerine Dream of course. Great cover too. #TangerineDream #EdgarFroese #vinyllover ##vinylcommunity #nowplaying #DailyVinyl #nowspinning #ElectronicProg

'The Silent Corner & The Empty Stage' my favourite #PeterHammill album from 1974. Another classic from over 50 years ago. Guest #RandyCalifornia plays 🎸 on 'Red Shift' #nowplaying #VDGG #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #BlueSkyVinyl #nowspinning #VanDerGraafGenerator

I've always liked Pink Floyd's 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' from 1987. It gets some bad views from Floyd fans. Much prefer it to 'Final Cut' what are your views? They were excellent when I saw them at Wembley Stadium in 1988 #PinkFloyd #ProgRock #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #Dailyvinyl #vinyllover

'In Praise of Learning 'by Henry Cow. Now 50 years old! Probably my favourite of the first three albums. All praise to #VirginRecords for releasing so much diverse and non commercial music back then 👏 #nowplaying #HenryCow #vinylcommunity #FredFrith #DailyVinyl #nowspinning #vinylover

My favourite track on the Glastonbury Fayre triple is 'A Blanket in my Muesli' by Mighty Baby recorded at the event in 1971. It's a brilliant 16' jam by them 🎸 I have the full unedited 27' track in a #MightyBaby box set. #nowplaying #PsychRock #Vinylcommunity #nowspinning #BlueSkyVinyl #DailyVinyl

The Glastonbury Fayre triple album bought new in 1974 for £3.99. My first exposure to #GratefulDead 'Dark Star from Wembley 8/4/72 to help with funding the event. What a piece it is no idea what else they did and then I got 'Live Dead'👌🎸 #DeadHeads #DarkStar #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl

Me at the 'The Night Watch' playback event in Sept 1997 with the P J Crook painting. You can now see the actual size of the fabulous artwork. Love how she incorporates the frame too. #KingCrimson #PJCrook #AlbumArtwork

'Unorthodox Behaviour' 1976. The first and best Brand X album for me. A superb side step by #PhilCollins from Genesis playing some amazing UK #JazzFusion with the brilliant #JohnGoodsall #RobinLumley #PercyJones #NowPlaying #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #BlueSkyVinyl

More Al Stewart with his classic 'Year of the Cat' album from 76. He performed 6 tracks from it at Tuesday's excellent farewell tour concert. #AlStewart #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #BlueSkyVinyl

'Modern Times' a classic Al Stewart album from 75. Had to play 'Dark and Rolling Sea' as it's going around in my head from last night's excellent gig. Great 🎸 here from #TimRenwick #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #AlStewart #BlueSkyVinyl #vinyllover

The classic 'Gretchen Goes To Nebraska's by Kings X from 1989. Such an individually distinctive sounding band. I got to see them first in 93 at Bristol Bierkeller. #KingsXband #DougPinnick #TyTabor #JerryGaskill #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #BlueSkyVinyl

This morning's breakfast in Kaffee Kamiel in Bruges. A to die for bowl of Greek yoghurt with toasted granola and seasonal fruit 👌😋 On Eurostar on my way back now after a fabulous 3 and a bit days. #Bruges #Brugge #breakfast #KaffeeKamiel

I'm currently in the beautiful city ofBruges enjoying a long weekend with friends. 🍺👍 🍫 #Bruges #Belgium #BelfryTower

'Electric Music for the Mind and Body' by #CountryJoe&TheFish a psych rock classic from 1967. Love the acidic 🎸sounds of #BarryMelton and #DavidCohen #PsychRock #vinylcommunity #blueskyvinyl #vinyllover

Diary entry 10/10/75 says I bought 'Extrapolation' by #JohnMcLaughlin 50 years ago for £2.30. A great debut featuring #JohnSurman It was an early foray into more esoteric jazz from my usual listening. But loved it #nowplaying #JazzFusion #vinylcommunity #BlueSkyVinyl #DailyVinyl

The original and best #FleetwoodMac 👍 I first heard this back in 72, a cousin had it. Killer selection of tracks starting with 'The Green Manalishi (with the two pronged crown)' #PeterGreen arguably the greatest white Man to play the blues 🎸 #nowplaying #BluesGuitarist #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl

Also got the second Nice album 'Ars Longa Vita Brevis' at the VIP record fair. 1968 copy sleeve shows it's age but plays NM. Far better and proggy album than more psych first album with the departed David O'List #TheNice #KeithEmerson #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #nowspinning #vinyllover

Bought this 1967 mono copy of 'The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack' at a record fair Saturday. Plays excellent. Rondo is so damn good and very early example of progressive rock. #TheNice #KeithEmerson #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #DailyVinyl #BlueSkyVinyl

The brilliant 'Jack Johnson' by Miles Davis from 1971. One of his best ever albums with a stellar lineup. Bought this 11/4/81 for £5.99 as an import as hard to get certain Miles albums at the time in the UK. #MilesDavis #JazzFusion #JazzRock #nowplaying #DailyVinyl #vinylcommunity

Here is a photo of the original artwork for 'Larks Tongues in Aspic' that I took on 13/9/97 in London for the launch of the 'Nightwatch' live album with the band in attendance for a meet and afternoon tea and cakes (as I've posted here before) #KingCrimson #ProgRock

#NowPlaying #DailyVinyl Lark's Tongue in Aspic - King Crimson

'Tempest in the Colosseum' truly great live album by V.S.O.P. - Tokyo 1977. The great #WayneShorter #HerbieHancock #RonCarter #TonyWilliams & #FreddieHubbard taking the Miles Davis spot. From opener 'Eye of the Hurricane' they are all on fire🔥 #NowPlaying #vinylcommunity #HardBopJazz #BlueSkyJazz

Here is the AC/DC entry in the Rolling Stone Record Guide from 1980. It just beggars belief that this was their view of one of the biggest rock acts ever. Not even one * Those three albums are stone cold classics. The guide is full of ridiculous laugh out loud moments 😂 #albumreviews #AC/DCband

The great Richard Thompson and (guitar,vocal) album collection. Such a brilliant and talented 🎸 player who's influenced so many, inc #TomVerlaine. #Nowplaying 'Calvary Cross' This live 1975 version is amazing. #RichardThompson #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #BlueSkyVinyl

Rory Gallagher is definitely one of the GOAT guitarist 🎸🙏 and this superb boxset of all 3 Irish Tour 74 shows and a DVD is him at his very best. The Cork show was the main gig used in the double LP release. So good to have it complete 👍 #RoryGallagher #nowplaying #CDBoxset #nowspinning
