Dire Straits
Really loved all the tracks on this album - some of which I'd never heard before... Such virtuoso instrumentalists - a guitar act to aspire to.

A surprise to hear this old chestnut but a great listen. I don't think I'll be re-listening very often but I thoroughly enjoyed remembering this album.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
Truly one of my favourite albums. Got the vinyl version back in the early 80's and know each and every track. I haven't listened to it for years so it was an absolute treat to be reminded of early years with my lover (now husband of 40 years!!)

Emperor Tomato Ketchup
Stereolab
Strangely, this album grew on me as I listened to it (having thought initially I couldn't bear to hear the whole thing).
Maybe listening is like tasting? You need to try a new flavour several times before the get to like it?
