Just listened to Nightfly yesterday (or Saturday) I believe. What a great album. Toe tappin music all the way through.
Ormandy conducts Ives - Symphony #1 & Three Places in New England. Philadelphia Orchestra. Columbia 1968
I should really get to bed, but having one of those nights when my system simply sounds extraordinarily kick ass tonight. Great soundstage width, depth, imaging out the yin yang. Why the heck does that happen at times? Can’t figger it out....so, another spin....

Maazel conducts Bizet - L’Arlesienne Suites 1&2, Jeux D’Enfants. The Cleveland Orchestra. London/DECCA 1980

Every song ends up in a (jam). Love it!!!

It’s awful hard to beat a Neil with Crazy Horse live jam.

5.) tired = open mind, less distracted by events of the day...

This was the first thing I thought of after a very long day. Other things can indeed come into play, I have no doubt, but I bet many times this happens it is simply a better state of mind to listen, or perhaps, just let your system do what it does without over analyzing everything. 

I’m very guilty of that ;-)
Szell conducts Mozart - Serenade No 9, K 320 “Posthorn” & Exsultate, Jubilate, K 165. The Cleveland Orchestra w/Judith Raskin. CBS Masterworks. 1984 (reissue).

very nice recording/vinyl.
Szell conducts Hindemith - Symphonic Metamorphosis Of Themes By Carl Maria Von Weber, & Janacek - Sinfonietta For Orchestra, Op. 60. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia. Per the label, I’m guessing an early 70’s pressing. Originally released in 1968.
Karajan conducts Brahms - Symphony #1. Berlin Philharmonic. Deutsch Grammophon. 1974

Box Set of Brahms 4 symphonies 
Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa. Warner Bros. Reissue/Remix 1971 (origional release 1969).
Good evening slaw, nice to listen to some vinyl this evening....I’m sure we all feel the same.
Hey brother, I actually have many classical lps here, just don’t have an idea of their value.

Would you mind if I send you a few titles via PM?

@slaw if that was directed at me, sure, no problem.
@slaw

Here is just one...

Opening Night at the Met (LM 6171)
RCA Red Seal

Desirable? No, doesn’t look like it. Even in mint condition those are selling between $5-$10 for a 3 recorded set. Not rated highly either. But, that’s subjective, but could be it was a poor recording or pressing as much as anything else.

I’m not a huge opera fan, have some, and enjoy it....at times, but not something I have heard or have in my collection.

The problem with collections like that is that they are individual performances, and not the whole/complete opera. Most, as I, prefer the whole symphony, or opera, composition, etc. 
Karajan conducts Brahms - Symphony #2. Berlin Philharmonic. Deutsch Grammophon. 1974

Box Set of Brahms 4 symphonies
Boulez conducts Schoenberg - Serenade Op 24. Domaine Musical Ensemble. Everest, recorded 1961. Unknown release date, but looks to be in the 60’s or 70’s.

very nice recording/engineering/mastering.
@slaw

In mint condition, maybe $15-$20.

highly rated though. That is a set I know would interest me.


Szell conducts Dvorak - Symphony #9. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia 1970
@spiritofradio

The Charles Lloyd Quartet
Love-In

Have the original pressing. After reading your post, would like to hear the remaster. I guess I should check it out on Tidal if it’s in their collection.....but....well....that’s digital.
First up, and the only non-classical of my 36 LP haul today....

The Allman Brothers Band - The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East. Capricorn reissue 1974. Double LP
@tomic601

BK - leave room in da hole ( haul ) for da Wabbit
lol, I’m deep in there, it’s dark, and can’t see the edges, so have no idea how much room I’s got down here.
The Apple Pie Motherhood Band (self titled), Atlantic 1968

....breaking out some of my more obscure LP’s.

Have not played this in probably 35+ years. Not bad really.....
@slaw 

I did a double take...thought you wrote Mom's Apple Pie. Familiar with that one?

I’m not, but should, as they are an Ohio band.
The Modern Lovers - (self titled). Beserkley reissue 1978. Originally released 1976. Mostly written in 1972/3. Mostly produced by John Cale.

Just an incredible album. Legendary. Jonathan was a way ahead of his time. The first time I heard this, Probably 1977 in my college dorm, I was dumb struck, and opened the door of exploring many new bands emerging at the time.
Neil Young w/Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere. Reprise, originally released 1969, reissue, date unknown but probably early 70’s. 
Lots of football over the last couple days for this Ohio boy.....but finally getting the SOTA cranked up....
