Draw the Line is Aerosmiths 5th studio album and was released in June 1977, just one year after their 'prime record', Rocks. Considering it to be the follow up the their best rated album, you would have thought it to be again highly rated? Wrong! This album was absolutely slated...

Review of 1982 Japanese reissue of the Beatles Sgt.Pepper in mono

Bryan Ferry is well known for his attention to sound quality and I believe likes his vinyl too. Certainly all his records still come out on vinyl. Roxy Music records like Avalon and Flesh and Blood sound marvellous and are great to show off your system. This album, released in 1987...
