For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Thanks for this - this is great stuff - what concert was this?

I believe that it is 24/7 for a while. Not sure if it is made of complete shows, or a mix of studio and live stuff. Sorry, can't be more specific.

7hz timeless < mojo 2 < fiio m11

I bought this cd 25 years ago, listened to it once & popped it onto the shelf for the next 15 years, when I dusted it off, ripped it to my pc's hard drive and proceeded to ignore for the next 10 years....until last night!

What a magnificent album! Why have I ignored it for 25 years ? dunno. idiot.

First album in a while that i got to the end of & immediately went back to track 1 & listened all over again. Woke early this morning, and will be listening again.

Door One by David Longdon - New but sadly posthumous release from the Big Big Train front man. It has touches of BBT but mostly it has a sound all of it's own, possibly because the songs are more personal than those written for the band. Apart from lead vocals, Longdon plays a ludicrous array of instruments himself but also put together a band to lay down the recording, most importantly a very good rhythm section of drummer Jeremy Stacey (King Crimson) and bassist Steve Vantsis (Fish). All of the songs on the album are very good but if pushed to pick a favourite it would be the excellent The Letting Go.
Really enjoying the D7200's at the moment so they got tonight's head time too.

Amazing album (playing it now) - been a fan since I saw him play the title track on The Old Grey Whistle Test back in '73

Watching the cricket & listening again, same set up but now with hd660s. Might swap back to 7hz as enjoying their extra sparkle on this album. The musicianship & recording quality is extraordinary. Cannot reconcile John Martyn's face with the sound I'm hearing. Will stop looking at him :)

Have swapped out for sr80e's. Beautiful.

Had a chuckle when heard that on "over the hill" alternative take, "sweet cocaine" had been replaced with "dry champagne". 🙃

JOHN MARTYN​

DON’T WANT TO KNOW-1973​

And I don't want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the cold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size.
And I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don’t want to know one thing about evil
Only want to know about love.
I’m waiting for the planes to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I’m waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I see you crawl.
Yes it’s getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
Cause all around that gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized.
And I don’t want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.
I don’t want to know anything about evil
Only want to know about love
I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
