Good to hear it in 16/44 as opposed to iTunes AAC 256.
But... disappointing it has all-too typical, contemporary levels of compression - ie, much 
Just seen the vinyl release (via Amazon) is delayed till about the 25th. When it arrives, hope it's better sound than the CD

TBH, the CD's sound isn't that bad - not talking Metallica levels of compression / loudness - it's pretty good overall, but it is frustrating that The Next Day could sound even better if it had compression that lets the dynamic-range 'breathe' - eg, al la the 1998 remasters or the revamped Stage and David Live CDs (2005).
Edwin Starr - War

I have this song in my Frankie Goes to Hollywood compilation but a friend told me today that Edwin Starr did this original version which is much better. This song is the coolest of cool.
John Grant's new one "Pale Green Ghosts" double CD
Quite a mixed album - some very reminiscent of Queen of Denmark, but others on a different tack - though very enjoyable in their own way.
Only listened to the main CD last night - it also comes with a CD of remixes, which (given the nature of the originals) could be very interesting.

Leah Kardos - Machines
"Tags: electronic experimental, soundtrack, vocals, cello, classical contemporary, UK"
Stream from Spotify or Bandcamp.
Bandcamp also has a 24-bit FLAC for "£6.99 or more", which is a wee bit less than the £18 that the bandits at Linn Records are charging for the same 
EDIT: The album's 'lyrics' are email spam, rearranged a la William Burroughs cut-up. And if that technique seems familiar, here's Leah Kardos's 2011 covers EP of songs by some bloke from Bromley 
Nickelback - Good Times Gone

Edwin Starr did our work Christmas party once. He was excellent.
Nice. 
You must work somewhere really cool.
