+1 Big Science. Violin on Born, Never Asked is a highlight.
|
Julie Felix - The Second Album (Decca 1965 mono)
I found a little brown paper bag in the album. It contained an empty replacement stylus card.
"Emerald de luxe diamond stylus
E.L.6. for B.S.R., T.C.8M and T.C.8H."
|
Jonah Tolchin – Clover Lane (Yep Roc 2014)
|
Daniel Martin Moore – Turned Over To Dreams (Sofaburn 2017 45rpm)
Enchanting album. Weirdly introspective and naive. |
@uberwaltz Ouch. Happened me years ago. 5 stiches. Heal well. |
Turk Murphy And His Jazz Band – At The Roundtable (Roulette 1959 mono)
Love this record. Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out (Jimmy Cox) sung by Pat Yankee is worth it alone. John Lennon’s song took the title from the same number.
|
@boxer12
Condolences on the passing of your brother.
|
The Blues Project – Live At Town Hall (Verve Forecast 1967)
I've always wondered what psychedelic garage rock was. Now, I know. Not bad.
|
Uber and boxer12
+1 for the laugh. |
Julius Wechter & The Baja Marimba Band – Foursider (A&M 1973)
I could only take two of the "foursider." It’s like the soundtrack for a Starsky & Hutch show where they meet Huggy in a strip club pretending to be a jazz speakeasy at 2pm.
But it is intriguing musically.
|
Lonnie Johnson – Blues By Lonnie Johnson (Prestige Bluesville 1960)
Classic.
|
Billy Vera & Judy Clay – Storybook Children (Atlantic 1968)
|
Cheryl Dilcher - Special Songs (Ampex 1971)
|
Incidently, the track playing now is a Chick Corea Medley where he's hammering the keys interspersed with delicacy. It's the last track on side 3. It's tracking perfectly. Man it is one dynamic test track!
You'll see when you buy this album.
|
@slaw The MyMat is a no-brainer. Weird thing is that I do use it to chill hot records but recently the rig's been so on form I haven't needed it in a few weeks. Slipped my mind this time. Of course, it fixed it and all is good.
|
Lavern Baker - Real Gone Gal (Charly 1984)
Haywood Henry - The Gentle Monster (Uptown 1983)
|
Playing tons of favs since adding Nobsprings under the turntables. As I'm tuning and testing, and playing songs and sides, not going to bother listing albums.
All good.
|
Jon Raven – Harvest (Broadside 1976)
Interesting Folk record from a member of Killing Joke. Pretty rare. |
Leroy Anderson – Leroy Anderson Conducts Leroy Anderson (Decca 1959 mono)
|
Dottie West – Feminine Fancy (RCA Victor 1969)
|
Elvis Costello And The Attractions – Punch The Clock (Columbia 1983)
’Shipbuilding’ is one of the greatest songs ever. Robert Wyatt does a great version. |
Woody Guthrie – Bound For Glory (Folkways 1956 mono)
Classic. Stagolee aka Stagger Lee by the Dead and Nick Cave. That song alone could take an evening to delve into.
|
Luckey Roberts & Willie Smith - Luckey & The Lion: Harlem Piano (Good Time Jazz 1960)
Reading the back cover about these two great Harlem ticklers and their amazing lives makes me bittersweet about having a really boring life!
|
Alberta Hunter - Amtrak Blues (Columbia 1980)
|
Betty Smith - Songs Traditionally Sung In North Carolina (Folk-Legacy Records 1975)
Jean Richie - High Hills and Mountains (Greenhays 1979)
Malcome Dalglish & Grey Larsen - Banish Misfortune (June Appal 1977) |
Josh White - Josh at Midnight (Elektra 1956)
Awesome record. Interesting version of 'Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dyin' Bed' which Led Zeppelin covered but claimed as their own on Physical Graffiti. |
@spiritofradio I love pre-digital recordings. The sound quality is often very good. But it's not just that. The history of the music is amazing.
@slaw Calexico -great band.
|
Odetta Holmes – Odetta At Carnegie Hall (Vanguard 1960)
She turned Dylan on to folk music. String bass by Spike Lee's dad. Magnificent voice. Historic.
|
Kay Starr – Sings, Volume 2 (Coronet 1963)
|
Art Hodes – Sittin' In - Volume I (Blue Note 1969)
1944 Blue Note recordings.
|
Leonard Cohen - Dear Heather (Columbia RE 180)
|
Jane Morgan – The Second Time Around
(Kapp 1961 mono)
Love these old original recordings. Sounds great. Borderline saccharine angelic backup choral but Jane’s voice is magic.
|
The Jonah Jones Quartet – At The Embers (RCA Victor 1959 RE mono [1956])
|
Jackie Gleason - Presents Music For The Love Hours (Capitol Records 1957)
Everything sounds so good on my rig!
Melanie Safka - My First Album (Buddah 1970)
|
Jana Hunter/Devendra Banhart - self titled (Troubleman Unlimited 2005)
Josh White – Sings Ballads & Blues (Elektra 1957 mono)
Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat
|
Doris Day - Day By Night (Columbia 1958)
Picked up for $4 and it's not in great condition on the outer tracks but man, it sounds phenomenal. So good that herself came down to say so. |
Mahalia Jackson - Sings The Best-Loved Hymns Of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Columbia 1968)
I'm not religious but I do love the soul of Gospel. Her incredible voice and the male backing singers with the chill jazz musicians, it just swings.
|
Joe Williams And Thad Jones, Mel Lewis - The Jazz Orchestra (Solid State 1966)
Ed McCurdy - A Treasure Chest Of American Folk Song (Elektra 1961)
|
Edith Wilson With Little Brother Montgomery & The State Street Ramblers – He May Be Your Man But He Comes To See Me Sometimes (Delmark 1976)
She's 70 years old on this album and sounds wonderful. The band are just magic. Dudes are in the room. |
@slaw Hi. Joe is great. At Midnight 1957 is a stunner.
|
The Weavers – Reunion At Carnegie Hall, Part 2 (Vanguard 1965)
Americana. Logging songs and stuff.
|
@slaw Ah... can't keep track of what I said. It's a good arm, better in many ways than the 850L. Sweet tracker and spacious and relaxed, but... the Jelco is just more dynamic and incisive. It's sitting on a table looking forlorn.
|
Nilsson – Duit On Mon Dei (RCA Victor 1975)
Great album. Herbie Flowers meets Captain Beefheart.
|
Pete Seeger – We Shall Overcome, Live at the Historic Carnegie Hall (Columbia 1963)
Naive Americana. The audience singing along is awesome and wholesome. 55 years later, not much has changed. Applause is a little hot but soundstage is solid. |
Gato Barbieri – El Pampero (Flying Dutchman 1972)
Latin improv jazz with a strangulated sax. I can imagine the dude asking his friends what they thought and they'd say, "Man, it was awesome." As he turned away they would shoot themselves in the head with a finger gun. Not for me.
|
@slaw Yeah. I put the Jelco back.
|
John Martyn – London Conversation
(Island 1967 mono)
Lovely album. My first mono record bought back in the day. I checked and it’s worth a few hundred bucks.
|
Guys, I believe I introduced It's Immaterial to y'all in April. 😉 |
Thanks Uberwaltz.
I don’t have anything yet. Matt’s saying around a month. But trust me, It’ll be a thread on its own. I’m just giving you guys the news first!
