Yesterday it was the excellent remastered Stand Up by Jethro Tull. A tricky disc to listen to on 'phones because I know it so well, the bass is so prominent and the contrast to how it sounds from good speakers is so great.
At the first notes my current life slipped away and I was back to the first time I heard it. It was 1973, at school, in the year common room where I was sitting doing prep. The hairs stood up on my arms then, as they still do. The mark of a truly fine piece of work, something that resonates over the years.
I might even listen to it again today.
