Dexter Gordon- Clubhouse: Kevin Gray Master (1965/2019)- ***1/2
Bill Evans- You Must Believe In Spring (1981)- ***1/2
(Worth it for the "Theme From "M*A*S*H.")
The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds: Kevin Gray Stereo Cut (1966/2015)- ****
The Honeys- Capitol Collectors Series (1992)- ***
Steve Kelly- Here's The Thing (2025)- ***1/2
The Mommyheads- No Quietus (2025)- ***1/2
(I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. I have been on and off these guys for almost 40 years, As a matter of fact, when I saw Crowded House at CBGBs in 1986, a band called Pajama Garden opened and I believe they became The Mommyheads. In any event, this record kept my interest for its entirety, something I don't call with too many of their records. Def going back for a second spin.)
Frank Sinatra- In The Wee Small Hours: Kevin Gray Master (1955/2025)- ****
(The first Frank to get the Kevin Gray, Tone Poet treatment from Blue Note and man, is it a stunner! It's like being in the control room at the studio. Never heard a Sinatra record sound like this before.)
The Rolling Stones- Earl's Court, 1976 (1976/2025)- **1/2
(Listened to the first seven songs. Band sounds great. Mick does not. He's barking every song.)
Squeeze- Frank (1989)- ***1/2
The Cult- Ceremony (1991)- ***
Thin Lizzy- Jailbreak: Kevin Gray Master (1976/2022)- ****
Boston- S/T: Kevin Gray Master (1976/2010)- ****
Queen- A Day At The Races (1976)- ****
(Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1976!)

Clearly your bromance with Kevin Gray is still going strong. 😀
Had a first listen last night to the recent Ken Boothe - Jah Wobble set. Nothing unbelievable, but a solid set of mostly remakes. Boothe sounds great.
Watched this David McComb/Triffids documentary last night and will be playing much of their catalog throughout the week.

Kevin Gray is a game changer!
Who was the Rhino guy who did all their remastering? Inglot? Someone else? You knew stuff was going to be really well done when his name was on a CD.
Ok, I need to buy a turntable and speakers so I can get the Sinatra on vinyl and play it. Arghhh. My first Sinatra album and what a way to start.
