Not forgetting their sampled appearance on Eminem's 'My Name Is'.

I always feel that Love Over Gold was never as popular but has always been a favourite of mine. I find the production on Brothers in Arms makes that seem their most dated of all their albums and rarely listen to it now.

Dire Straits, Dire Straits. Sultans became such a classic I think it possibly overshadowed how great this album is.

Another delve into my vinyl, and by pure coincidence another 1980 purchase - Sadao Watanabe How's Everything. Anthony Jackson, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Dave Gruisin, Ralph MacDonald, Ricard Tee Jeff Mironov and the Tokyo Philharmonic live at the Budokan. Fabulous 🤩

Just put an album on that I've had since it came out when I was 16 - 9 Below Zero Live at The Marquee. Blimey, they had some energy!

I was in an old school rock & roll band for a while. The drummer put the band together said that he wanted 'to put some more oomph into it'. This meant speeding everything up, and playing too loud. I played him my 'go to' track that shows this doesn't have to be the way - 'That's Alright Mama'. Fortunately it clicked immediately and we calmed everything down and had a nice, successful band for a couple of years.

So why ask the question?

Wishing you all the very best with this venture 👍

I had one as a monitor and noodled through it at home a couple of times. Was impressed but never used it as an amp with other players.

Seriously, so were some of the CDs, including some fairly niche compilations that were out of licence.

When something similar happened to one of the big CD manufacturers (PDO - Phillips Dupont Optical) they honoured every one that got sent back for many years. If this is a known problem perhaps the Blu-ray manufacturer will do the same.

Heard the Neox212 in action and thought it sounded great. They were very highly thought of, and a lot more affordable than many mentioned here.

Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Joe Pass, Chet Baker and a whole host of other great Jazz performers would like a word!

Wasn't aware of Lyn Collins until hearing her last week on the radio, so great to hear her again so soon after 👍

Thanks for that Tony. Great on so many levels, not just the bass playing. Great video, vocals are fantastic, especially the double tracked bits, and that sax solo!!!

Thanks so much for posting this - I think I'm going to enjoy Don's videos.

Jack McDuff (with George Benson) is worth a listen.

Jimmy McGriff - on the Jazz end of the spectrum but still funky.

16 hours worth culled from the Bass chat thread. Couldn't keep up with it in the end 😲 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59RhYT5dLPwboS9u3njL4S?si=eqXaQgxpTV-nCwXW18bOxg&pi=AYELaBxHRR6-T

Brilliant work Tom.

July 1982, Capital Radio Jazz Festival, Knebworth, A highlight among some exceptional artists. Thanks for the music and memories Jimmy.

If you can afford one, the Herman Miller Aeron is unbeatable.

Looks like it was a guy called Paul Reinhold (left handed)?

But wasn't the issue with Oasis tickets that there was no face value from the original seller and it fluctuated with demand?
