Sade Diamond Life vinyl record staged on the Kilmorna record shop counter

Sade's Diamond Life is on the shelf today: a 1984 LP for anyone who knows smooth is only boring when the people doing it have no nerve.

Some records walk into the room and start moving furniture.

Diamond Life does not.

It takes the better route. It arrives calm, well dressed, and completely certain that shouting is for people who have run out of ideas.

That can be misunderstood.
