How important is music to you? For me cars and music are close, very close.
I'm sitting listening to music that takes me right back to my room at 144 Coverts Road Claygate, where I grew up and made many wonderful discoveries between 1964 and 1974, when I left home. It's almost like time travel. How so? Well, I've just received a newly released triple LP of the Moodie Blues live recordings made by the BBC between 1976 and 1970.
The quality is amazingly good, given that the recordings were made on analogue tape almost 50 years ago. The performances are obviously different to the studio productions, given they were performed live. But they are enthralling.
My old LPs are clearly worn, or perhaps not pressed as well as modern discs. . The new pressings, on heavy new vinyl, and in blue and yellow..very late 60s.. sound far, far better. Or my HiFi system is just a bit better than the one I had back then....!!
What is also amazing is that I know all the words....
I buy my LPs mostly from this site...

Also music reminds me of not only people, but places and car journeys.
So, what is music to you?
