What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

@ghosthouse Thanks for that! I loved the way she seems to be channeling AG. Far easier said than done, but the effect is immediate.

Here's another surefire dreamy summer classic. This time from Matt Monro.

Very good, cd318. Glad you enjoyed it and heard (felt?) the connection between Astrud Gilberto and Dominique Durand (a Parisian living in NYC at the time).

Personally, more than a dreamy impression, "On Days Like These" (its arrangement) struck me as quintessential '60s in a pre-Beatles way.  Really took me back.  I would not have guessed it was a Quincy Jones composition.

Yeah, all good stuff! Even woke up with that Matt Monro track running in my head! So I treated myself to 4CD box set The Singer's Singer. Apparently it's been lovingly restored/remastered.

Talking of songs playing in my head, the opening bars of this Joy Division track have often served me well whenever I need to ring the doorbell.
