What Vinyl Do You Have On The Table?

Mike Olfield/ Tubular Bells, 33 rpm vinyl.

I heard this some twenty years back and my recollection was it being some kind of orchestral work with electric guitar, quite bombastic. Listening to it today it sounded more like a pop artist trying to create something orchestral with the three chords he's got and pairing it with rather basic level playing and arrangements.

Surprising what twenty years can do to music.

Interesting, I find it holds up today rather well. I think I appreciate the arrangements even more.

That is fair enough, I think it is hard to argue about taste.

Glad you still like it.

Elvis Presley - I'm Leaving. an amazing album released last year capturing Elvis's recording session in May 1971 at RCA's Studio B in Nashville. the sound is so relaxed in a soulful country way - one can't help feeling if RCA and the Colonel were not so bent on using Elvis as a short term money making machine in the 70's, this album would have been a classic if released in 1972

Elvis Presley - Way Down - In the Jungle Room - 2LP 2016 Euro pressing.

Released last year featuring different takes (including the odd chat and laughter) from Elvis's last studio recordings, in Feb 1976 over 5 days and Oct 1976 over 2 days before he died. This is his one of Elvis's lounge rooms at Gracelands and where all the recordings were done via RCA's live semi trailer that was plugged in outside. I have been to Graceland's and seeing the Jungle Room in person is pretty amazing.
I find these recordings are superb and Elvis still had it - even right to the very end. Excellent sound as well

I heard a lots of Keb here, wondering where Taj was - or maybe their styles/ sounds are so similar I was not really able to differentiate.

Very nice album though.
