Coffee bolstered...

Today's random record - not the best - but, on deciding to find it digitally, I also found that Yes have uploaded their entire 14 CD set of found recordings of their late 1972 concerts to Youtube - of course, I had to partake...

Breakfast - a new concoction - strawberry jam and scrambled egg on a toasted roll...

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!
