Lots of wonderful suggestions. Went with the ‘****1/2 or above’ selections. New to me were:
The Beatles Second Album - I think it is right that this is considered the band’s most rock and roll album. A lot of fun!
Sounds from the Verve Hi-Fi - Wow! One immediately feels cool from the first track. This was on repeat for a bit. My favorite Thievery Corp. collection.
Thanks for always sharing the good stuff, sir. :)
