never thought i'd ever buy anything by Miley, but this one from 2017 is pretty darn good IMO

[Image: 511p8N3woBL._AC_US218_.jpg]

EURYTHMICS "ultimate collection"

own a few of their singles from back in the day and a couple of their early albums on cassette
so I thought I should update...

KINKS  "everybody's in show-biz"
two disc bonus set, second disc contains a load of previously unreleased tracks...

very good post-Britpop band, this is their fourth from 2011 which I don't own...

[Image: 220px-Lorde_-_Melodrama.png]

LORDE  "melodrama"
released earlier this year, didn't like it initially but subsequent listens on Spotify have changed my initial opinion

[Image: 220px-The_Essential_Redgum.jpg]

RED GUM  "the essential"
Aussie folky/political band from the early 1980s to the present...
only own a couple of singles but this thirty eight track, two cd compilation looked pretty good
in a discount bin...

[Image: 220px-A_Girl%2C_a_Bottle%2C_a_Boat.jpg]

TRAIN  "a girl, a bottle, a boat"
U.S alt rockers, latest album released in 2017...
love the band, wasn't overly rapped on the album initially, but like the Lorde one, it has
grown on me over subsequent listens via Spotify...

JOHNNY MATHIS  "the essential"
I realised when I posted a compilation on vinyl a few days ago that I didn't have anything by him on cd so I
bought this one today with my Xmas Gift Cards...
a two cd compilation containing 40 tracks...superb stuff, looking forward to unwrapping and playing it!

my last Christmas gift card purchases:

[Image: 61+K0N7hLJL._AC_US218_.jpg]    [Image: 51W26TCRs9L._AC_US218_.jpg]



and two secondhand vinyls:

[Image: 612EFG38NRL._AC_US218_.jpg]   [Image: 713Gg2fJ-PL._AC_US218_.jpg]

the first vinyl is Kingfish - "kingfish", featuring Bob Weir on vocals from the mid 1970s,

the second is Klaatu -"hope",ive heard of these guys but am not aware of their music.

so, two albums of unknowns, hoping the surprises will be pleasant ones!

^I'm very fond of that Klaatu album, but I expect that's because it was an early introduction to the fascinating world of concept albums and progressive rock. There was a whole conspiracy around them at one stage - that they were the Beatles performing under another name. The mystery originated because there were no credits iro the artists. They were good, I thought. I have mentioned this before so forgive the repetition, but the song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" was actually theirs - it's on their debut album 3:47 EST. The Carpenters covered it and made it a hit. Nice find - that album is not easily come by on vinyl.

For myself - I too have found one that's not that readily available; Rod Argent's Moving Home. Bargain price too!  Big Grin
