The Listening Club - 12th January 2020

Greetings folks,

Hope you're doing fine and surviving the nose-back-on-the-grindstone time of year. Still keeping up some of the fairy lights here, because they look pretty, and things are just a bit too grey and dull without 'em. Still rather sad following the news of the passing of Neil Peart, who really was one of my favourite musicians of all time. They called him The Professor, and I certainly got a lot of joy and learned a hell of a lot from listening to him play and hearing his lyrics. Although he'd been retired for a few years, he'll still be much missed, but he's left one hell of a legacy, that's for sure...

Last week, @brainspiritus was in the chair, rocking out the assembled with their pick of Gov't Mule's "High And Mighty". Thanks extended for the selection, and for sailing the frisb back across to @xpollen8, who has this to say by way of introduction...

"While the world still exists, I'd like to share a tiny bit of what I've been working on since last summer.

I'm providing more hints than usual, because only a couple of the tracks today are commercially available - the rest are unreleased and I've digitized them directly from their 15IPS 1/4" master tapes as part of an ongoing preservation and archival effort.

Almost unheard-of bands + remarkable musicianship + masterful recording and production techniques + 24 bit/192kHz digitization = something special.

Enjoy ya some Funk & R&B!"
