Various – 66 CDs Acquired So Far in 2009

A change at lunchtime today as I wandered up Lothian Road, past the Lyceum Theatre...

...to Classical Music specialists, McAllister Mathieson Music...

All very nice and inspiring, great ambience, lovely CDs but nothing in the way of bargains which took my fancy – and the Haydn Symphonies Box Set is £60 compared to HMV’s £50..

Wait, I tell a lie, they had a 150CD box set of Haydn’s complete works on Brilliant, which I’ve not seen elsewhere, for £99...

My plans for possibly buying this with the gains of a “sure fire” bet on a horse at Cheltenham were scuppered when the nag fell away in the final stages, taking my £20 note with it...

In the evening, home in daylight for a change and these jet-trails graced the sky...

Cooked with the Exec Producer, producing a superb meal of steak, mushroom, onions and fries with a nicely nippy pepper sauce...

In between watching taped “Not Going Out” and “Law & Order”, I gathered together one track each from the 66 (!!) CDs acquired so far this year, with a view to creating some new podcasts...

The day was rounded off nicely by the arrival in the inbox of a cracking new piece from Creek buddy Craig for me to work on as a CBQ song, under our new collaborative partnership...

Tasty...

Highlight of the Day : Cooking with Anne, new track arriving...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
