The Black Keys, No Rain, No Flowers. Released last year under Warner Records/Eye Eye Sound on CD, USA. Their 13th studio album and quite the departure from their usual style. Still an enjoyable listen. #warnerrecords #eyeeyesound #theblackkeys #cdcollection #aurender

Morning listening session with The Stone Roses. Self-titled 1989 Silvertone Records UK CD first edition and Second Coming, 1994 Geffen Records USA CD first edition. Not the best sound but pretty cool albums from these Manchester chaps. #thestoneroses #madchester #manchester #dcsbartok #cdcollection
Red Garland, Red Garland’s Piano. I have a few reissues of this phenomenal album by Red, but this evening I took my ‘57 mono first pressing for a spin. Reissues are quiet ‘n loud but ain’t nothin’ like the sound of the OG. #prestigerecords #rvg #redgarland #jazzonvinyl #techdas
