Love Blues , Jazz and mostly guitar based music . Will try and post an album each day and perhaps the odd charity find . I’m enjoying finding new music here through all of your posts . Cheers Al

Found this on the way home today .
Aretha Now
1968 mono uk release.

Had a listen to a couple of tracks and it played through fine although it’s a bit noisy .
I’ll see if a good clean improves things .

I agree completely, I’m not sure why he changed but tone wise the Strat just doesn’t have the sustain he had early on. To my ears at least 😀

Al Marrone @almarrone.bsky.social · 1d

Thought I’d revisit some Cream , I had a notion to hear the Tales of Brave Ulysses again .
I liked Clapton’s choice of tones during this - pre Stratocaster era of his playing .

Gustav Mahler - The Titan

I don’t know much about classical music but I often find it while browsing charity shops.
This one is in excellent condition and was imported to Canada at some point .

If only it were so easy to find old jazz and blues.

Another Carlos album I haven’t listened to in quite a long time .

“Blues for Salvador “ is still the standout track for me although I enjoyed “ Bella” on which Carlos displays his jazzier side .
