Chores to Music of Madge Day!
Madonna Confessions on a Dancefloor Warner 9362-49460-2 release. Not sure that it matters for this recent release, but happy to be course corrected.
Must admit never listened to this album, it’s not too bad on checking it out.

Early Sunday chilling to the sounds of
Various Artists Produced by Trevor Horn ZTT Records ZTT196CD
Bought soon as it was released, as Trevor Horn is god-like to me in musical terms. Got to finally meet him last year, which was an amazing experience!

Today’s listening whilst hoovering is part of a charity shop haul yesterday.
Steely Dan Reelin’ In The Years 1985 MCA Records MCLDD 19147 release.
This was released before the remasters, so in theory it should be as per the OG mastering tapes

No introductions needed, classic.
Tears For Fears Songs From The Big Chair Phonogram/Mercury - 824 300-2 release.
Lots of dynamics (expected from the OG master CD) but to me sounds a bit bright. Could be emphasis, will rip and check after.
