Get Up With It by Miles Davis (1974) https://album.link/i/157447301 Example: Now this is an album that I really had to pay attention to. 8 tracks, 2+ hours. But I got a lot out of it for putting in the time. Gone are the days of Bitches Brew, and we are not yet to Big Fun. Like a lot of his work, he was doing something different.

Cheers fellow Mike - Happy Birthday -

Distraction Rock 'n' Roll Animal (Live) by Lou Reed (1974) https://album.link/i/976827224 Example: I had a much different idea of Lou Reed from other works (mainly the Transformer album), but this was a killer set.

Cheers Adam - Happy Birthdays -

Based on This^ This v Secret Love Letters by Lisa Batiashvili (2022) https://album.link/i/1627513869 Example: It is a little tough when you don't know the works, and further more not even familiar with the composers (Frank, Szymanowski, Chausson). But --- captivating? yup. Well recorded? yup (it is DG) And makes me want to see her perform at some point.

Caribou by Elton John (1974) https://album.link/i/1440912739 Example: I have to say I am a little mixed. Some top tier songs on this album, mixed with some that did nothing for me. May be could have not been a double album? Just saying. But I will accept it for the highs. Eldorado by Electric Light Orchestra (1974) https://album.link/i/1054523537 Example: ^^ one of the better non-Beatles Beatles songs.. Jeff Lynn and the team doing what they do...

for reasons Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Soundtrack (1992) https://album.link/i/46734067 Example: I was not up for watching this movie, but I was up for the amazing soundtrack by Badalamenti.

Even In The Quietest Moments... by Supertramp (1977) https://album.link/i/1440868388 Example: Based on listening above, I just kept on listening to Supertramp... As I should...

Sad - I was getting ready to watch Mulholland Drive soon, I guess it will be sooner.. RIP David.

But this was the Album Cover that I grew up with. Worlds Apart by Saga (1981) https://album.link/i/1457350358 Example: Don't listen to it for 20 years, then sing along with every lyric. Yup it is an album that is ingrained.

Happy Curry Birthday.. From Gemini: And ChatGPT Cheers --

Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 61 - Tsintsadze: Miniatures by Lisa Batiashvili (2008) https://album.link/i/380160164 Example: So my friend in LA went and saw Lisa perform the Violin Concerto the other night and he thought it was wonderful. I took a look and saw that she recorded it back in 2008, one of her first recordings. While that was 17 years ago, it was still very good. I am sure hearing her live today would be even better.

Crime Of The Century [2014 - HD Remaster] by Supertramp (1974) https://album.link/i/1440646658 Example: I always think of Supertramp from 79 into the 80s, not 1974. Even this does not feel like 74 to me. Just a high quality album from the tramp.

^^ I happen to like them both, but DOMi is definitely really good. Red (Expanded & Remastered Original Album Mix) by King Crimson (1974) https://album.link/i/918614446 Example: More Jazz than I remember, but it has been a while since I put this on. Very good, and doing things different as always. Like this 12.5 minute track.

hmmm ^ that link is this v link for me. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/movies/jerry-lewis-day-the-clown-cried.html

Fire by Ohio Players (1974) https://album.link/i/1434907387 Example: The title track is the star of the show, but once I found 'What the Hell' (track 7), I was entranced. Not just by the album cover. And yup it was a gatefold.

Kimono My House by Sparks (1974) https://album.link/i/1443750483 Example: More fun than I was expecting, and really good.

Happy birthday Illuminator - cheers

This. (boring stereo version) Murry is one of my favs for Mozart. This whole combo works really well for me for the 2nd Concerto. I am not sure I am a real fan of the first just as a work, nothing against this version. Thanks rob.

Streetlights by Bonnie Raitt (1974) https://album.link/i/287366514 Example: Strong Album. I only knew her in the 80's once I found Nick Of Time and the rest. I should have, and still should, explore her 70s work. One of the quintessential voices in my life. Ed: of Note - Drums – Stephen Gadd... :}

Still have some 50yo's kicking around in my queue: In Too Much Too Soon by New York Dolls (1974) https://album.link/i/1443895609 Example: Fun rock with early punk vibes.

Cheers HC Team - HNY

50yo Phases And Stages by Willie Nelson (1974) https://album.link/i/885243424 Example: I really like this album. Tender and pretty. He was happy to be on Atlantic records.

Yup - long time Rick subscriber.
