Gentle Giant was lined up first thing...

..and Happy Birthday greetings to sister Sheila...

Still dark and snowy outside...

Snowy and, indeed, snowing...

Inside though, aforementioned Gentle Giant...

Post breakfast, the redwing had returned..

...but was proving elusive...

...and was not round the back...

Snow bongos...

Finally, a glimpse...

Today, Eno’s “On Land” 3 Speaker System was reintroduced...

 Used to use this back in the 80’s. Not sure when/why I stopped. It works a treat. Much better sound on stereo recordings (doesn’t work on mono). The 3rd speaker’s wires are connected to both positive outputs on the amp...

Random LPs played...

Falco's 2nd, Junge Roemer...

Of its time...

At lunchtime, "Superstore" continued and a visit from slasher Fang...

A better record, Focus's debut from 1970...

Before I took this photo, I hadn't realised the dots show the word "Focus"...

Not their best but the seeds are there...

Then, a record gifted to me by chum Jorg, over 40 years ago - listened to today for the first time ever!

The song selection is excellent...

But let's just say he's no Isaac Hayes...

Lastly, a Neue Deutsche Welle disc without a sleeve...

Extrabreit are surprisingly commercial and good...

Then, a chance for better pics of the redwing...

Later, while perusing my entry for this day in 2013, what did I find but this pic...

On this very day, 8 years ago...

Weird...

Possibly a forebear...

Moved the 7" singles into the small room...

It does not matter what size the 3rd speaker is.  It's sound is almost imperceptible. It’s an environment thing.  If you have a spare speaker lying around, I’d urge you to try it...  

Makes you realise how “flat” normal stereo is...

You may be able to read this, maybe not - search the net for it - it no longer appears in the sleeve notes for "On Land"...

A very tasty tea tonight...

 ...and on telly, "Holby City" and "The Bay" entertained...

Before enjoying more of the "new" sound system...

To bed at midnight...
