Tír Na HiFi

I also have this one, a Classic Records reissue from 1995...

This is only other Tubby Hayes I have. Again on Gearbox Records. Featuring the then little known Louis Stewart. It certainly didn’t do his subsequent career any harm.

I have four Gearbox LPs...

Yesterday I went digging for cheap second hand CDs in a local store, and for less than 15 euro I found:

Ten Years After: cricklewood green
Lyle Lovett: joshua judges ruth
Depeche Mode: sounds of the universe

They span 40 years between the oldest one (1970) and the most recent one (2009) and they cover very different genres. It was a good evening listening session.

I always rated "Joshua Judges Ruth" highly.
Some of they very best musicians around are on that album.
I'm now off to dig it out for a listen.

To my mind, Cricklewood Green is the most complete TYA album. Other albums were patchy, with a couple of crackers and others that I barely dropped the stylus on, but there's something good to hear on every track on Cricklewood Green. Nice finds there for €15!

My wife always jokes that whenever she hears "North Dakota" playing she knows I'm testing out new gear. After all this time, she listened to the album in full on a flight last week and loved it. It's obviously having a moment.

I used to have that Lyle album and, yes, I have to agree it’s a good ‘un’.

As regards Ten Years After I’ve always been a fan. Absolutely love the Live stuff particularly Undead. I used to own Cricklewood long before I cottoned on to how good they were. My most complete studio album of theirs has to the first one which I only managed to get recently. Mono too and it’s only glorious. I know it’s ‘only’ a Rhino repress but still…..
