RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted May 3, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2020 A selection of Wagner excerpts performed by the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by George Szell. I know many Wagner fans recoil in horror at such collections and for sure they cannot replace the definitive works from which they are extracted but they are very enjoyable. Szell is one of those conductors who has slipped into obscurity and in Europe I think many have always been reluctant to accept that US orchestras are world class but Szell and the Cleveland was a remarkable combination. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Colin Posted May 8, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 8, 2020 I saw him at a hall in Upminster around ‘72, his band was augmented by Lol Coxhill on sax that evening. It was a great gig full of quirky and very English music! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Time on my hands has meant I've been able to get one of the Technics 1210s up and running. I probably haven't played a piece of vinyl for half a decade or more, so grabbing a random album for the initial test play I was rather delighted to pick It Takes a Nation of Millions by Public Enemy. But I had to put it back as it was a limited edition re-issue still in unbroken cellophane... Pick 2 was an arguably equivalent heavyweight Hip Hop classic mind you: C6T.

luckymucklebackit Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Some forty five years ago I used to frequent a local watering hole in AIrdrie called "The Staging Post", this was back when Scotland still had a 10pm chucking out time, and to get round this and open to 11pm the pub provided food and entertainment for the grand sum of 50p! One of the bands that used to play was a cracking outfit called Greenmantle, a band that I liked so much I sneaked a cassette tape recorder into the pub one night and taped their set. The tape was lost a long while ago and I thought I had heard the last of them until I replied to a post on a Facebook group and found out that a lot of their material had been rerecorded was available on line. If you like Eagles style country/rock I would recommend looking them up on you tube or Spotify. This is one of my favourites https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SuZ43VLpp0 Cheers Jim 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youngest, 10 years old, is into queen, fleetwood mac, ELO, led zeppelin and AC/DC amongst others! I put it down to Spotify, when I was their age you listened to what ever was on the radio or whatever records you bought whereas now they can just play a random playlist of pretty much any genre of music they choose through Alexa which has really broadened their tastes, of course there are also lots of film soundtracks with old tunes too such as guardians of the galaxy which has 70s tunes on so they get an airing too 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Chris" is nothing to do with Christian but rather the station was started by Chris Stevens who is still one of the presenters. The station was sold by Chris in March this year to Country line. I like both old and new country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2020 I was converting some 12” singles to MP3 yesterday, all 90s dance tunes I used to have ‘back in the day’ that I’ve never managed to replace until now, of course going digital for my DJing means I need them on MP3 so as it’s a long drawn out task I Decided to make a start today whay I did find it that songs I thought were really good back in the mid to late 90s are actually not that good now when listening back and surprisingly vice versa cheesy songs from back then are actually quite catchy W, I ended up getting about 15 records into the stack and actually only converting just over half of them as the rest were so dire, mainly ‘white label mash ups’ the good stuff I converted was surprisingly things like S Club 7, Eiffel 65 mix of ‘reach for the stars’ and Ant and Dec, Tony de vit mix of ‘shout’ which is an absolute banger! More to do tomorrow when I get the time 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
