  2. "It's Not Unusual" is a song written by #LesReed and #GordonMills, first recorded by a then-unknown #TomJones, after it had first been offered to #SandieShaw.

  16. Django Reinhardt, Nuages, 2017 on Jazz Images

    Nuages was first issued under that name in 2002, as a reissue of The Great Artistry of Django Reinhardt, a 1953 10″ record on Norman Granz’s Clef label, plus 4 bonus tracks that had been issued as singles by Decca (also in 1953).

    This vinyl issue was produced in 2017 by Jazz Images, presumably a digital-to-vinyl transfer. I know some analogue purists find such reissues distasteful, but I […]

  17. Campoli Plays Paganini-Kreisler, Saint-Saëns (LSO, cond. Gamba) (1959)

    When I'm not listening to reissues of 1970s soul jazz, I'm geeking over old London Decca classical records. This one was a thrift store find yesterday.

  18. Out of curiosity, on Amazon UK looked up how the official album recording of the #Coronation was doing. 3rd in Classical Orchestral recordings. Digital download available, striking is the "CD.Audio" version. "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock". And reading the reviews several folk reporting technical problems with the CDs. Eek that must be a big beamer 😊 for #Decca. In the rush to get it out production quality control taking a hit? Is His Majesty Amused? 👑 📀 🎶 #Music #CD

  19. Our #ObjectOfTheWeek is also a #NewAcquisition: How To Give Yourself A Stereo Check-Out by Decca Records (1967).

    This 12” LP was not only a standard test record of the time, but is also a mini crash course in important audio concepts like wow & flutter, Sound coloration, channel phasing and more.
