What I should have said is that these things are out there, but no seeders so they won't download. That one is in the queue now anyway, thx.
Not sure if you've seen this,our posts crossed...


Have you thought about downloading each individual track from the album on MP3Juices. Thats what I do with old obscure albums. :cheers:

Then use an app to covert from MP3 to FLAC https://cloudconvert.com/mp3-to-flac

I have but the quality sucks as its limited to 192kbps - which is really noticeable on that Marshall.

Found the entire Little Feat discography which includes that album ... downloading now. :thumb:

Well, along with everything else going on last night, it was The Last Night of The Proms at The Royal Albert Hall. I went 44 years ago, and I think things might have changed a bit! :shock:

The rise of the accordion... playing the tango! Whatever next? Can't find a vid of that yet, but here she is at the Belgian version of the event back in 2014. Not sure about "Blue", frankly, but I'll have some of that accordion... 8)



If you'd like to listen to the event, you can find it on BBC Sounds https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000zm03

Was never a big Prince fan but my when he played that guitar he was one mighty fine plucker.

Elton John and Dua Lipa

A great modern mix of several Elton John songs in one which bring back many happy memories (1980's....), family holidays et al - happy memories much needed right now...

She's a good singer. She does a duet with Andrea Bocelli that is really nice

The Elton John and Dua Lipa song immediately bought bad memories of Jive Bunny and the Mixmasters from 1989! i.e. several classics all linked together with the same disco beat.

Not a style I ever wanted to hear again... but each to his/her own!

A lot of artists including Elton John have released lockdown albums with some appropriately themed songs. I tried his latest which was a poppy mixup of his old songs with new artists, some will like it but it wasn't for me.

Paul Weller released an album this year called "On Sunset" which is a bit wishy washy. One of the better ones IMO is Bon Jovi's new album "2020". Will try Pearl Jam's latest offering, "Gigaton" next.

ZERO like the "Mixmasters from 1989" which were absolutely dire. But as you say, each to his/her own.

As buksida, can't say I enjoyed Elton John's latest album as a whole - just enjoyed this in particular.

I have just discovered the enigma that is Buckethead. What an amazing guitarist. Has anyone else heard him?

Never heard of him but here's a taste of his style.
