Jeff Beck

An outstanding guitarist whose output in the sixties and seventies mostly was seen as the bar for other guitarists to aspire to. In live setting, he has been noted as a guitarist that never gets a note wrong during a performance. And capable of coming up with such beautiful romantically melodic instrumentals. It is said that Jeff Beck has only two passions: cars and guitars. This is a compilation of some of what I consider his best recordings dating from after leaving The Yardbirds to 2016, the point where I created this compilation. Conceived and compiled initially as a Jeff Beck Group project on Aug 2013; uncompleted. Re-envisioned as a Jeff Beck project; recompiled, expanded upon and finalized by 30 Dec 2018. Files are a mix of wav & mp3@320.

David Bowie

Because ‘Next Day’ and ‘Blackstar’ are so heavy in theme and history as well as sonically, it seemed best to spread all the new millennium output on both discs rather then keep each disc distinct per decade. Thus diluting some of the historical weight of Blackstar, released 48 hours before his death, whilst helping each song stand on its own merits, as well as possibly making the listening experience slightly more lighthearted. All files are wav except material from unreleased album ‘Toy’ @256. Compiled and completed on 10 December 2017.
