@slaw Thanks for the Courtney Barnett MTV Live recommendation. Great sound quality and indeed tasty. 
The 4 disc The best of Suede- Beautiful Ones- 1992-2018 is outstanding. I have also been enjoying Martin Barre- Live in NYC, if you want a good dose of electric guitar and Jethro Tull.
Fish- "Weltschmerz" is a terrific album. Due to Covid, you have to order it off of his website www.fishmusic.scot. Self released, it entered the U.K. charts at number 2 in Sept. which is pretty amazing for a guy mailing albums out of his garage.
Love Tractor's self titled debut is being remixed by REM's Bill Berry with unreleased bonus cuts- coming Oct. 2nd.
Chuck Prophet "The Land That Time Forgot"

Wonderful! Maybe a contender for album of the year? Yeah, it's that good. Certainly, his best to date.
Gary Moore "Live From London"

Wow guys! There are plenty of great/talented musicians. Gary was just on another plane. This lp is gonna be hard to top for best of 2020.
Courtney Barnett "MTV, Unplugged"

technically a 2019 issue but just available in early March 2020

SQ is AWESOME!
Tedeschi-Trucks Relevator— Hi res download from Acoustic Sounds. Although probably doesn’t count for this thread as it was released in 2011. Seriously good music. Check out ‘Midnight in Harlem’. Makes both my systems sing.(Emm Labs/Genelec + BenchmarkDAC3/B&W/Primaluna) 
It won’t even be out ’til late May but I already know that

Rush
Permanent Waves
(40th Anniversary)
Super Deluxe Edition

will be most awesome.

Waiting for Agnes Obel new album to arrive at my door, this was a preorder .
 Also waiting with great anticipation for Nadia Reid new album to arrive.
 Hoping they exceed my expectation.
Thanks for the Third Mind recommendation. I have been listening to Dave for a long time and really enjoy his bluesy albums like Eleven Eleven. Third Mind is different for him. It reminds me of Chris Forsyth (which is a good thing).
New Diamond Head is stellar!
new Magnum, as always.......great!
new,Possessed,for,those who like very old school Metal is unstoppable!

ill. Return this week w the rest of my purchases!
