Day 28: Christmastime Okay, you're in the clear, it's that time of year - play a Christmas album Wir Warten auf's Christkind - Die Roten Rosen OK. I thought I was going to draw a complete blank here, then I remembered if we go over to CD's for a moment I DO have the Christmas CD from the...

Day 27: Black Friday Play something you got in a Black Friday sale or for Black Friday RSD. Miles Davis -Double Image Well....! I bought this on black friday, but it's a Christmas present for a mate of mine, so I can't open it and spin it!

Day 24: Changing Weather Play something appropriate for the changing weather in your part of the world (colder for some, warmer for others). Weather Report - Sweetnighter Oh Man, gotta get in first with this one! This is the last WR record I've bought, with Miroslav Vitous. I didn't know this...

Day 23: A Classic Monday Play a classical music LP. Don't have one? Play an undisputed classic Franz Liszt - Eine Faust-Sinfonie Klaus Koenig, Rundfunkchor Leipzig, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Kurt Masur. This took a lot of choosing, but the orchestra that I'm in was supposed to play this in...

I put it on B side first, because I MUST have played the A side at one stage or another, and found it quite tuneful despite somebody (maybe Larry?) singing his wife's rather dubious poetry on one track. If anzbody jumps up and down shouting Memememe! I daresay I'll part with it, otherwise I...

Day 21: Younger You Now, play an album that younger you is responsible for. Heaven 17 - Penthouse & Pavement Back in the day, it was all about Jazz so anything else was always a tape copy. This is, therefore a vinyl copy that I picked up to show my kids something about censorship. This cover...

Day 20: Mature You Play an album that younger you would never imagine you enjoying. Regine Crespin Sings Wagner Side 2 - Wesendonk Lieder. There is absolutely no way that the younger me would have accepted me would have had anything to do with Wagner, although there had been a moment when...

Day 17: Surprising Cover Song Play an album that features a cover - one that's a really surprising choice for the artist. Miles Davis - Circle In The Round Guinnevere. There's a lot of candidates for this one as well, but we haven't had much Miles so far. This is interesting, because...
