Neil Young - "After the Gold Rush" - Neil Young Archives Official Release Series
@slaw - Sad to say, but I do not own a single Tom Petty record. I like TP a lot, just never got on the bandwagon. Where should I start if I don't want to spend $200 for the box set? Or should I just put the box set on my Christmas list?
Went to the LRS today and pickup up the following:

Brandi Carlise - "by the way, I forgive you" (new)
Father John Misty - "God's Favorite Customer" (brand new, released yesterday)
Electric Light Orchestra - "Ole' ELO" (used)
Cheap Trick - "At Budokan" (used promo)
Shelby Lynne - "Revelation Road" (used)
Willie Nelson - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (used)
Elvis Costello - "Trust" (used)
The Who - "It's Hard" (used)

Starting the night with the Brandi Carlise. 

While cleaning records at lunchtime today, I pulled an LP out of the Way Back bin and took a spin. Here it is......

The Edgar Winter Group - "They Only Come Out at Night"

This is a hand-me-down from my sister who bought it new when it came out in 1972. It's been through many, many house parties, moves, musty basements and has been generally mis-handled and neglected. Regardless, after 30 rotations in the Spin-Clean, it sounds OK, with some pops, clicks and background noise. Still I enjoyed it immensely, if for nothing else, the shear nostalgia.......

I thought "Frankenstein" was da bomb back in the day. And I still enjoy it......

Andy Pratt - S/T

From the latest Plaid Room pile

The opener - "Avenging Annie" has been a long-time favorite. Love it. Certainly on my top 100 playlist....

@slaw - I really like it. It's her first LP that I've bought. I have always been vaguely familiar with her work, especially the more popular stuff. I was surprised at the diversity of styles of songs on the record. If you squint your ears just a bit, the first song sounds quite a bit like an EmmyLou Harris song IMHO.

Enjoy.....
@slaw  @uberwaltz  - I had the US version of "Going for the One". I bought it back when it was released and I always liked the music. However, I never thought the SQ was that good. Kind of a jumbled mess for sound. Was reading a review and someone said the Japanese pressing was the best, so I plopped down $50 for a "M" Japanese pressing. Admittedly, it is a little better that the US version, but it still is not great SQ IMHO. I still love the music. Actually "Parallels" is one of my absolute all-time favorite songs from YES. 
@spiritofradio  - One of my older sisters was a big Poco fan and she gave all her records to me like 30-40 years ago. Haven't listed to "From the Inside" in decades. Maybe I'll give it a spin this weekend.....
I had a Concord "front loading" deck in my tricked-out '73 Super Beetle. Not many "Cal Look" Beetles in KY back in the day, but that's what I drove.

I also later had a Nak RX-202 that flipped that had the turntable that flipped the tape around to reverse it. Crazy..........
@gliderman2m  - Welcome to the "What's on your Turntable tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming.......

Pete Townshend - "The Iron Man"

From the latest Plaid Room Records haul...

Bought this on CD when it first came out. Happy to find a pristine copy on vinyl for $4.99.

Know who's on this recording? John Lee Hooker, The Who and Nia Simone.

@intone - I really like the new Father John Misty album. It's my first LP from this artist and I think it is really good. I'll dig further into his other releases......
@slaw - Enjoy the concert tonight! Let me know what you think of Shovels and Rope live. They have been really, really good every time I've seen them. 
In support of @slaw 's concert tonight........

Shovels and Rope - "Little Seeds"

@slaw - Glad to hear you enjoyed the S&R set. I love them live......

@boxer12 - I'm a big fan of Adrian Belew, especially his older stuff. I've seen him may times and always enjoyed it. 
Brandi Carlile - "by the way, I forgive you" 

Think I'll go see her show when it stops by Cincinnati in September......
@facten - I'm not much of a Steve Miller Band fan either. But I did buy a cheap CD copy of "Bingo" after hearing "Hey Yeah!" on Radio Paradise. I like it......
Rush - "Permanent Waves"  - Just another one from a long stretch of epic Rush albums....
