The new vinyl releases of the Queen albums. So far I've got Queen II, Jazz, The Game, and The Miracle. They are superb - the best those albums are ever sounded on any format. When I heard them at the National Audio Show I wasn't convinced, but they sound fab on my RP3.
Also, the most recent vinyl pressings of the Led Zeppelin albums - II, III, IV, and Physical Graffiti so far. Again, superbly done.

I bet you enjoyed Jose's post match interview, though? Not quite MONO-syllabic but pretty MONO-tonic.
I've been refiling some records, so forgot some of what I played pre and post-footie, but it included:
Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs
Au Pairs - Playing With A Different Sex

I think I've got that Au Pairs LP somewhere, but haven't heard it for yonks.
Tonight, celebrating Chelsea's defeat more than my team's meagre draw:
Wincing The Night Away - The Shins
Port Of Morrow - The Shins
Love & Theft - Bob of Hibbing, Minnesota

Peter Gabriel 2 & 3 half speed remasters. Mother Of Violence on PG 2 is a sublime song.
Pink Military - Do Animals Believe In God

Yes they are worth revisiting. PG2 & 3 I really like. PG 1 I don't care for much. PG 4 I have never given a proper chance to for some reason. Maybe I will soon.

I'd never given it a fair play, and I quite enjoyed it. Kind of Gang Of Four-ish.
I used to have Live In Berlin too, but that's another album that has regrettably moved on to pastures new.

I'm playing it now.
By the way, I'd highly recommend 'The Last Temptation Of Christ' soundtrack album, side one blows me away.
Roseau – Salt
Lianne La Havas – Blood
Joanna Newsom – Divers
The Necks – Mindset
then switched to 45rpm and played:
Björk – Medulla
Rip Rig + Panic – God
Rip Rig + Panic – Bob Hope Takes Risks
The Pop Group – She Is Beyond Good And Evil
Thee Hypnotics – Justice In Freedom
Lianne La Havas – Blood
Joanna Newsom – Divers
The Necks – Mindset

Ok, I can't resist. PG1 / 4 / Temptation Of Christ it is this afternoon.
Unfortunately none of these on vinyl, Squeezebox to the rescue...

Done!
PG1 - very disappointing. I remember being disappointed by this when it first came out.
PG4 - very enjoyable. Might order the half speed remaster.
Passion - also very enjoyable. A friend of mine told me I should listen to Long Walk Home so I need to hunt that down too.
PG is one of my all time favourite artists. I wish I could like PG 1 but it isn't going to happen. Don't like the production. He seemed to be unsure what musical direction to take so he just tried random styles on this album. Excuse Me annoys me. Waiting For The Big One makes me cringe with embarrasment on his behalf.

But Solsbury Hill is one of the greatest songs ever. I have the album, but I'm not sure if I've ever played it all the way through. I think I half remember playing it, and taking it off because it was a bit prog, but I'm really not sure.

It sounds superb on vinyl, well worth digging out a copy if you can find one at a decent price. I've got Birdy too, but I haven't got around to playing it yet, so no idea what it's like.

Played it all the way through, liked some of it, but disliked some too. I won't be in a hurry to play it again, there's too much competition from all my other records. *smile*
So today:
Peter Gabriel - PG4
Iggy Pop - The Idiot (I'd forgotten what a great, and really odd album this is)
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

This afternoon it has been:
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (40th Anniversary)
Queen - A Day At The Races (New, half-speed master)
Linda Thompson - It Won't Be Long Now (excellent solo album from last year)
Peter Gabriel - 3/Melt.
Another extremely enjoyable all-vinyl listening session.

Big +1 for 'The Idiot'....brilliant album
Today for me = Strictly Personal : Captain Beefheart

I don't own that many Iggy albums, I know the 2 original Stooges albums, Raw Power, Lust For Life, and regrettably, Blah Blah Blah, but The Idiot is like no other, and it's just so druggy. I hadn't played it for years, but I certainly won't be leaving it so long before it next gets a spin.

Lust for Life is probably my favourite of the 2 'Bowie/Berlin' influenced albums but the Idiot runs it close.
