Here's one I have to thank Mike Chadwick for playing on Jazz FM during the Station's early days. Clearly it was/is a rare re-issue of an obscure 70's project from Finland so quite possibly you won't have heard of it!

You just simply have to have, from time to time, a little Led Zeppelin. Here's Kashmir from their 2007 one-off concert Celebration Day at the O2 in 2007. Wish I'd been there. As one of the contributors says on the comments section below, this can cure coronavirus! sit back and let it engulf you.

Never was a Bob Dylan fan with his clunky scanning and tortuous lyrics but I've loved this woman's perfect voice since before I was born. She could pare away the bull**** and deliver Dylan's sparse, simple melodies with the purity of a fin sliding through water. Why oh why can no one sing like this any more..

This is i think is appropiate ? for the times we are in at the minute listen to the lyrics and think of super markets and distancing.

I recall buying this album for a girlfriend when their hit single came out as a way of ensuring he she had to play something I liked. That she hated all tracks other than the single was a bit cruel but I let her keep it when we parted!

Very little to say about this peice other than the composer/performer had a valid point when giving the reason for refusing to play it again bar once towards the end of his life:

I love valve gear, but gave up using MC cartridges, too many step up devices in the way for the low output. Finally tried an Ortofon 2m Black, it was a complete & utter revelation.

The right low noise stage really helps FG! I use a TRON Convergence MC valve stage which is utterly noiseless, into a TRON Seven Reference preamp/Radford STA25 power amp....all valve devices, driving my RFC Reference Canterbury loudspeakers. Even with the needle in the start groove you hear almost nothing as normal listening until the music cues. That's using a ZYX R-590. Tried the 2M black but wasn't overly enamoured. It was good in a "hifi" sounding sort of way but it lacked the detail retrieval or bass authority of the ZYX MC which is a 0.24mV output.
The stage above was built from a BB3 populated board but after spotting a few omissions by the designer of that, I'm waiting for new paralleled JFET MC gain stages for it. I spec'd and had the traffo custom built and formed the shield from copper tape and copper sheet. the rest I did. It sounds great on MM...very quiet with my MP-500 cartridge but the TRON is better on MC...it's really the base standard for all MC valve gain stages in terms of noise (S/N).
