Whats on your turntable tonight?

Nice ones, Zaikesman! I'll take a look for "Sandy." I also just ordered a copy of "Pour Down Like Silver" (my personal favorite Richard/Linda album - actually my personal favorite Thompson recording, period).

Can any of the classical fans out there recommend one or two LP's to get me started? I have a beginners interest, and have a snumber of high-res digital recordings (Mozart, Haydn, Mahler, Beethoven) but zero vinyl, and don't know where to start.

On rotation this morning:

Tom Waits - Mule Variations
Hank Mobley - Soul Station

Jerico,

See if these threads on classical music will give you something of interest to start with:

Thanks, Rushton. I'll have a look!

Hi Jerico, my own personal Thompson faves are the first three Fairport Convention albums (they lose me at "Liege & Lief" onward, when things got less freewheeling and eclectic, not to mention rockin' -- they also missed Denny's songwriting after that one). I would like to hear Sandy's first solo effort entitled "The Northstar Grassman And The Ravens" ('71) but haven't come across it to date...

Lots and lots of Clapton
