@Aetas great story behind the album and that Stax playlist is incredible. I need to spend some time going down that musical rabbit hole! Thanks for posting!

[Aetas]

@SKT
Thanks for your reply!
Behind was the Sugar Hill Box Set from 1997.
Another rabbit hole to exoplore…

@Aetas Thanks for the flashback!! I remember being a kid and hearing that for the first time. At that time, there was nothing like it...

I didn't know that they had re released that album though. The original came out in 1982.

@steelydan - that jazz trio is Carter, Jones and Williams?

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , yes ... Awesome bass , definitely demo quality.

[GraemeE]

@steelydan I've seen a handful of east wind stuff over the years but never owned any.

Their pressings are supposedly pretty high end?

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , oh yes , for Japanese pressing , east wind n three blind mice are great audiophile favourite .. mostly direct cut ..

[steelydan]

Still hunting for this #tbm-39 for many years , do give me a heads up if anybody see 1 ... Please...

[GraemeE]

Continuing my strategy for workday listening based on albums with cool artwork:
Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear
Dukes of Stratosphere - 25 o' clock
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

[SKT]

Man I love that artwork especially the 25 o’clock

[steelydan]

@GraemeE ,that 25 o'clock cover remind me of earlier Cream works , so psychedelic.

[GraemeE]

@steelydan absolutely agree

Yesterday this was 40 years old!!!! Blue Monday is still the best 12" ever IMO. It made a loss when released - the cover with it's diecut and having an inlay cost more to produce then they made on selling the record, hence future releases went to a normal cover and no inlay.

[GraemeE]

Going for the other end of the spectrum for todays listening with more minimalist album artwork

[steelydan]

Got this on Saturday

[GraemeE]

@steelydan love the Hiro artwork on that jefferson airplane

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , Oh yeah , i thought you'll like this when i posted it ..
