On The 13th Day ... Magnum
|
|
Rocket Fuel .... Alvin Lee |
Accidentally On Purpose ... Gillan & Glover. |
Dark Adrenaline ... Lacuna Coil
180g edition. |
I have that one Slaw...... |
I felt the same about the albums Sklar, Russ Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar, and Craig Doerge made in the 1970's, when they were known as The Section. Good musicians, not good music. Happens all the time. ;-)
@bdp24 I have one of their albums, Fork It Over, which is imho pretty darn good. I felt it was cohesive and was actually what I would define as good music and a great test record to boot. Or am I just showing my poor taste here.... lol |
Slaw Just inserted the Hydra 2 and Diamondback pc this morning. Also got a bonus Venom Defender plug in module thrown in. Going to spin Trigger Hippy later when I am relaxed which with daughter thinking her world is ending after her surgery might only be accomplished with the aid of some liquid comfort!!
I have the Hydra 2 sitting on the tiled floor while I decide what to do, isolate or support. |
Tomic Was there many mono records in your recent great deal? |
Release ..... David Knopfler.
Yes Marks brother..... |
Nice to see someone bringing a bit of class to the rowdy rabble assembled here...... 😇😇 |
Magic Potion ... The Black Keys.
Another new Insound purchase.
SQ seems a little flat to my ears, not bad just not much dynamics or sparkle. |
Loudhailer ... Jeff Beck
New 180g album |
Travellin days ... JSD Band |
Love it Reubent Should say the vinyl is new to me, played it many times on Tidal and saw it in the Insound sale so it came last week with some more goodies that will be up later!
|
I was not inferring it sounded flat to me because it was an Insound purchase. Just that it sounded flat, period. Have never heard it on vinyl previously but it seemed the Tidal streamed version was more lively. |
|
Pop Art Live ... Raspberries
Wow...... |
Back and Fourth ... Lindisfarne |
I had two lower end Grado carts that came with different tables I have owned over the years. Both had a distinct hum that could not be cured.
One reason I chose the Ortofon Mono Cart over a Grado offering. |
Talking Dreams ... Echosmith.
The Jico S.A.S stylus is breaking in nicely and the initial brightness is starting to fade and mid and bass gaining strength.
Sweet.... |
|
Aurora ..... Breaking Benjamin |
Sparkle In The Rain ..... Simple Minds. |
Rise ... Skillet.
Maybe classified as Christian Rock but these guys rocked hard and LOUD when I caught them live in Wisconsin 2017. |
Easter ... The Patty Smith Group |
Awake ... Skillet
By far my fave Skillet album. For a " Christian Rock" act the crowd went ape when the opening riff of Monster rang out! |
Road Games ... Allan Holdsworth.
6 track mini LP.
Very nicely done. |
Time out ... The Dave Brubeck Quartet.
|
Mr. Music Head ... Adrian Belew. |
Oops Wrong Planet ... Utopia. |
What do You Want from Live .... The Tubes. |
@reubent
I only managed to pick up a copy a few weeks ago.
I remember back in the day when "White punks on Dope" came out. Literally blew me away!
They were huge in the 🇬🇧 at the time mainly from that song! |
Ghosts .... Strawbs. White label promo copy freshly US cleaned. |
Hey Boxer. See you mentioned The Julie Ruin the other night. I assume you are also familiar with Sleater-Kinney as well? If not well worth checking out as similar vein. |
Might be their best @slaw Time to spin some Night Ranger methinks. Thx |
Wire Fire ..... Savoy Brown |
Well looks like do not have any Night Ranger vinyl, serious omission!
Red Octopus ... Jefferson Starship. |
Not for me ... Lol Sat night is movie night, have to keep the better half content. |
52nd Street ... Billy Joel |
Knock em Dead Kid ..... Trooper.
Promo copy |
Cry Tough ... Nils Lofgren.
|
Ladies Invited ... The J.Geils Band
|
Not played often enough.
Mayonaise Dream ... Smashing Pumpkins |
Security .... Peter Gabriel |
Followed by...
Eve ... The Alan Parsons Project
This sounds REALLY sweet on the old Dual 1019 cw Shure M91E with a Jico SAS stylus. Almost makes me think I should keep this TT rather than be selling it! |
All Night Long .... Sammy Hagar |
You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic .... Ian Hunter.
Obviously very Mott The Hoople sounding.
Which is a very good thing of course. |
Alone Together ... Dave Mason.
|
Security ... Peter Gabriel. |
