As you’re probably aware (I go on and on about it with alarming regularity), I’m a CD kind of guy. As far as material objects go, I like those little shiny discs. (‘Cos they have music on them.)
The latest CD to arrive in the post was Paul Steel‘s Moon Rock, and it’s now my second copy of the album. The first was an English promo (apparently Moon Rock has never actually had an official release in the UK). The English promo had this cover:
Moon Rock did finally get an official release, but only in Japan. The Japanese version has bonus tracks and a hefty booklet as well as a much more colourful cover. (See the top of this post.) So I bought the Japanese one, too. And now I have two Moon Rocks at home.
I’ve just realised that I didn’t need to mention any of that. All I needed to do was play you today’s song, and maybe mention that it’s from Moon Rock, an album I like very, very much:
Paul Steel – “Your Loss” (2008)
Oh, and one of the bonus tracks on that Japanese import is this groovy remix of “Your Loss”:
Paul Steel – “Your Loss (Shawn Lee’s My Mate Remix)” (2008)
Incidentally, if you have a spare 48 minutes you can hear all of Moon Rock streamed at Bandcamp – or here if you don’t want to click on that link:
