Now spinning that funky stuff. Graham Central Station - Release Yourself. 1974, Warner-Pioneer, Japan

Now spinning Billy Joel - The Bridge. Not rated very highly by critics and himself, I personally think it’s a lovely album. Beautifully mastered too. With a downright ridiculous roster of guest appearances - Ray Charles, Steve Winwood, Candi Lauper, Ron Carter and Michael Brecker. 1986, CBS-Sony, Japan
