Day 103

CD#443 Bob Dylan and The Band - Before The Flood

Live recordings from various dates on a 1974 US Tour. While I don't usually don't have a problem with Bob Dylan's singing there are a couple of songs on here that are hard work and on the whole I prefer The Band's performances of their own material.

CD#444 R.E.M - Dead Letter Office

B-sides, rarities and a few covers, plus the five songs from their debut Chronic Town EP.

CD#445 Max Richter - 24 Postcards In Full Colour

Neo-classical/ambient snippets. The longest piece 2:49, most around a minute long.

CD#446 Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers -  Rock 'n' Roll with the Modern Lovers

Second album from a new line up, though the drummer David Robinson had originally remained (he later co-formed The Cars and continues to play with them) he left before this was recorded. This is as lo-fi and naive as the first album and includes a rendition of The Wheels On The Bus.
