Diamond Head (1975) Phil Manzanera
I bought this copy when it came out and it's long been a favorite. I was already a big fan of Roxy Music and all the friends and associates involved in making this album. Bryan Ferry is the only member missing, and Phil doesn't sing, but guests Brian Eno, John Wetton, and Robert Wyatt shine on some great songs.His guitar is a joy throughout, and the titular instrumental "Diamond Head" has been on many playlists over the years.
A major influence on me and my music.

Love this album! Came to it late (early nineties).
This story still amazes me: https://guitar.com/news/music-news/phil-manzanera-jay-z-kanye-west-watch-the-throne/
Thanks for sharing BBJ!
Bought this when it was released and still pull it out several times throughout the year. Great way to start my day. Thanks for the share.
I love this album and have played it many times over the years. The next four he released (801 Live, Listen Now, K-Scope, and Primitive Guitars) are a fantastic run of wonderful, inventive music. After that, his work is patchy.

One of my all times faves. I remember buying it at Titus Oaks Records in Flatbush and thinking it was the coolest record in my collection. It still is! And thanks for the coverage BBJ. I am literally up to my ears in records with this new collection I purchased.
