Got all my lps in need of cleaning, finished...time to settle in..........
"Homegrown"
A quiet pressing is just a more immersive experience. Paid up for it but the rewards are worth it!
The laments of an audiophile continue... |
@big_greg,
You didn't answer my question brother |
"Voodoo Lounge" is a better effort than I remembered. I guess I never really gave it a chance.
Gene Clark "No Other" 4AD/2019 |
Hey uber, hope we're still friends brother. |
Ain't it funny how music genres use to be limited to one descriptive word, now we need three just to get started. |
"Gold Past Life" is easily my favorite Fruit Bats thus far!
Reminds me a lot of M.C.Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger.
Alternative,folk,rock at it's best! |
Up next is The Highwomen lp. Thanks to @jamesclarke for putting me on to it. I'm very familiar with Brandi & Amanda, but haven't heard anything by the other two women. |
Joy Division "Unknown Pleasure", 40th anniversary |
Hard Working Americans "We're All in This Together" ...hell yeah! |
The Highwomen... reminds me a lot of The Dixie Chicks. (Oh yeah, this is a county album.) The songs are what I'd expect from TDC, not from what I know of Brandi & Amanda! It all works very well. They (all four) seem to have a connection and seem to be having fun. If you can tell that from listening on your home system, something is going well. The SQ....it's very "analog-y". Compared to my memory of my Dixie Chicks lps, it's not as wide open and transparent yet the warmth and ambience & the solid/deep bass foundation is very appealing. I love them both ways. I recommend this lp, very enjoyable. I think they'll most likely make one more. BTW, it's produced by Dave Cobb. A name I really don't know but have noticed on several of my lps lately. |

The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" German pressing |
The Rolling Stones Mono Box. "Out of Our Heads" UK version |
@tomic601,
"Late Again"....my friend. |
@spiritofradio,
Have you heard Hard Working Americans "We're All in This Together"?
Check it out. |
I had a copy of the Classic Records 45/rpm/"Aqualung" in house years ago and sent it back because of severe warping. |
|
Up next ....Damien Rice "O"
I first heard a song off of this record years ago. This album was released on lp for the first time, last year. I just got it in recently. |
Well, I’d hope the MFSL/dbl/lp would bring much more to the table (ha ha) than my OP. Richard Thompson |
Death Cab For Cutie "Thank You For Today" |
Hey Eric, I did not know that. I'm glad that I heard it first from you, my friend. Thank you for the info,
......................................
Let's hear it for the HARD WORKING AMERICANS. WOW!
If you don't own it, get it! |
Wow @atdavid, I've always loved "Ingenue". Have the original and the anniversary issue. ........................... The Steven Wilson "Aqualung" can be had for around $12.00 @ www.insound.com. Nice buy! |
This German pressing of The Flaming Lips,...sounds wonderful! |
Count Basie Big Band "Farmers Market Barbecue" Pablo |
@boxer12,
I got Purple Mountains lp in. Will be up next. |
@tomic601 ,
Is that the 2lp/MFSL? |
@tomic601 ,
I checked Levi out last week. I don’t doubt the reason/movement of your post. They reminded me a lot of Devon Allman, The Royal Southern Brotherhood or another band that I just can’t think of right now. Give me some time..... got it...Hard Working Americans "We’re All in This Together". What a great lp!
These bands that, IMO, sounded similar, kept me from digging deeper. Do you own or have you heard any of these? |
@tomic601,
I hope you don’t let me/my posts distract your contributions. WE all come at this from different perspectives. Love you bro.
I'm planning to pull an all-nighter. Got in several lps this week. The Autumn air gives me a renewed faith in the world. I'll celebrate by listening... |
The War on Drugs "A Deeper Understanding" ...wow! |
@boxer12,
Absolutely wonderful! So sad he's gone. |
and the SQ is first rate! |
@j_damon,
I’ll leave it up to you to explain "relativity in motion".. |
Well, one's "reaching low..could equal one's reaching high? Hum?? |
The Jimi Hendrix Experience "Purple Box" 1st pressing.
I remember the price was $55.99. I saw it fluctuate over the years. Now, who knows?
Lp 1 |
BTW, @boxer12,
I enjoyed the Molina/Johnson lp. The pressing quality isn't as good as most of the Secretly Canadian I own, but still a must have for any Molina fan. |
Streaming???? What is this thing you all speak of???? |
@uberwaltz,
You’ll never be alone here.

Glad you're back @big_greg

Grand Funk Railroad "We're an American Band" 1999/re-master |
My promo copy is Outstanding! |
Recently ordered 6-7 Steve Earle lps directly from New West. All were in great shape, minus one, "Terraplane" which had some ticks/pops on side two. Contacted them and, no questions asked, they sent a replacement (on now).
This leads me to the larger point.....what record labels are still supporting their customers in a great manner? Mostly having to do with lps.
For me, I want to give a shout out to Sub Pop, Merge, Yep Roc, New West.
Neither of these questioned me or wanted me to return the defective record. |
Gary Moore "Live From London" |
Greg
SQ? Remember our conversation?
Nevermind. |
Are you comparing to period pressings? |
opened the front door this morning and this was waiting on me....
Federale "No Justice" (JBR) Jealous Butcher Records/2019 |
CCR "S/T" Fantasy/stereo/8382

Had to flatten the above lp....later. |

Another, never mentioned artist that, IMO, was ahead of his time, died early on.
Playing now "Texas" |
