okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but.........

Why are albums by 3 of the most wonderful voices out of Britain (Adele, Amy Winehouse and Duffy) so badly recorded. I'm listening to Duffy right now and it's horrible. Adele and Amy's don't fare much better and it really annoys me.

Are these the best we can ever expect?

Try just about the best British female singer songwriter - PJ Harvey.

Wonderful artist , wonderful albums, excellent recordings and available on vinyl.

Florence and the Machine are excellent, recordings not quite was good as PJ Harvey.

Of course, always Kate Bush with excellent production and music.

Florence and the Machine and machine can be quite dicey too. Compare her album with the track that was used in the movie soundtrack. The latter is far better.
