Excellent production doesn't equal great SQ. |
The Cars "Heartbeat City" |
|
|
|
John Fogerty "Blue Moon Swamp" |
John Fogerty "Deja Vu (all over again)" |
The John Prine "Live" is awesome! |
Procol Harum Live w/ The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Thanks Jim! |
Fruit Bats "Gold Past Life"
|
Don't forget the Roxy Music "Country Life" UK cover that wasn't available in the US. |
A recent arrival,
Joanne Shaw Taylor "The Blues Album"

That one's on my list Spencer.

@mammothguy54,
Blind Faith remastered Abbey Road is a fine sounding disc. |
I'd say play stuff you enjoy that you're very familiar with. |
I own three A B "Live at Fillmore East", a brown Capricorn that was put in the "to sell pile" long ago, The Classic Records & a pink label Capricorn. It's been a while but I think I liked both in their own different ways.
My only "Eat a Peach" is the Abbey Road 1/2 speed from a few years ago. The louder you turn it up, the better it sounds. |
It doesn’t bother me Tom.
|
Got these in this week so far....
Hans Theessink & Terry Evans "Delta Time" feat. Ry Cooder
Fruit Bats "Siamese Dream"
James Taylor "American Standard"
Ten Years After "Stonehenge"
Canned Heat "S/T" |
The Fruit Bats "Siamese Dream". I found this website www.turntablekitchen.com a while back and noticed they had the above lp for sale. Had to order it. I came to realize that they are a record label. Since then, I’ve noticed that more labels are offering well known bands, reimagining well known/great past lps. I assume this is a new way to help bands financially. Yep Roc, Jealous Butcher are a couple more labels doing this. A great idea! |
|
"Wallflower" is somewhat muffled but still enjoyable partly due to the great selection of songs she covers. |
@spiritofradio,
I always thought Dido & Beth Orton sounded similar. How would you compare them to the last album you posted? |
I was completely surprised at the EX/SQ of the Fruit Bats cover of Siamese Dream.
......................................................................
The Rosebuds "Loud Planes Fly Low" |
The Butterfield Blues Band "Live @ Woodstock, complete set" ROG |
|
I had the same response from Friday Music when I inquired about Grand Funk "Live".
|
Of the albums I received this week, I've been mostly looking forward to....
Hans Theessink & Terry Evans "Delta Time" feat. Ry Cooder
Found this sealed/Blue Groove/German Pressing/2012.
In the Vibrato now.
The other two albums:
Ten Years After "Stonehenge" & Canned Heat "S/T" are Sundazed remasters from the original mono tapes. Will probably wait till I mount the Cadenza mono again. |
John Lennon "Walls & Bridges" from the (Lennon) box |
Interesting James. I want to say I've heard of Runt but might be confusing it with Grunt, (Hot Tuna) |
Tom Petty "An American Treasure" sides 11 & 12 |
Well "English Oceans" , while not perfect, ended up being an enjoyable lp. First side is muffled/muddy compared to the rest. All in all, a great effort.
|
Drive-by-Truckers "English Oceans".
If memory serves, this is a good album but not so good SQ. |
@mammothguy54,
I have "Flag" as a WLP. SQ = EX! |
@bkeske, Brian
The original monos are not cheap so I find these current remasters from the original tapes to be a good value. |
I’ve changed my cleaning regemin somewhat in that instead of doing the pre-steam always, I now just US clean new records first, then if I find a need to go further, I’ll do the ’deep clean’.
The "Delta Time" lp is very dynamic! Still has some quiet ticks every now and then. I believe a steam will remove this.
BTW, "Down in Mississippi" on this lp, is such a different take compared to Terry’s version on "Puttin’ it Down".
Blues meets gospel.
Seek this one out! |
Hiss Golden Messenger "Bad Debt" |
Jim,
I thought (briefly) about buying the MFSL "Flag" but my WLP sounds SO good, I’m saving the money for others. |
Doobie Brothers "The Captain & Me" Nautilus/Super Disk |
Mott The Hoople "All The Young Dudes" Absolute Analouge |
OK, the Hans Theessink/Terry Evans lp on now......... |
|
|
David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" MFSL |
|
|
Aimee Mann "31 Today" 7"/45rpm
I bought this years ago because it was the only (vinyl) available from "#@%&*! Smilers". Still true today! |
Eels "Beautiful Freak" /1996 |
|
Eels ".....With Strings..." |
Hey Brian,
Speaking of Mott the Hoople, they do a tasty cover of "Sweet Jane". |
