The Listening Club - 17th September 2023

Greetings folks,

Hope you're doing good - Not bad here in Amsterdam, a warm week, so we've been making the most of it in true end-of-summer get-the-most-out-of-it style, checking out an annual city sculpture fest, stopping in at the terrace bar at the Hilton for a chill drink, popping out to the westerpark for a picnic and a bit of city wildlife watching etc. Plenty fun to be had, as always.

Reminder that next thirty days hath September, which means next Sunday will be a #vortex, so we're after suggestions for a theme if you have one...

Last Sunday we zipped back to November 1967 in the company of @vinomadic for "Buffalo Springfield Again", although a first time listen for many, ho ho, and a treat for a good chunk of the assembled. Thanks extended for the pick, and for managing to achieve #LCs first ever double-throw (don't ask), to both @AqiDraco, who will be in the chair in a fortnight, but also to @akx, who's right here with tonight's intro...

"Yesterday, one thing led to another and one bar turned to four and I only got back home this morning at 4 AM, so I'm a bit out of writing juices and I'll keep this short and sweet.

This is a classic album that I suspect not everyone has heard in its entirety (well, almost entirety – I cropped the last track out because it was too long).

#drinkingclub: no thanks, not today, but if you do indulge, something French. A French 75 counts as French."

Right then. Download's here (right-click-save-as), and the stream's below...

See you 8pm BST (GMT+1)
