@reubent...never heard of The Trews or Metric. Qobuz has most of their stuff, I’ll need to listen to them. Thanks for the recommendation!

Joni Mitchell-"Court And Spark"

MOFI, 2LP, 45RPM, One-Step.  This is a SUPERB copy!  One of the best of the MOFI One-Step pressings so far...

Mahogany Rush-"Mahogany Rush IV"

Canadian 1st Pressing

I saw these guys live, in concert, a couple of times back in the mid and late 70's.  Frank Marino was a MONSTER on the guitar.  One of the best I've ever seen.

@slaw...thanks for the reminder of the Gordon Lightfoot documentary!  I saved it to my watchlist awhile ago, but forgot about it.  I'll watch it this afternoon.

Last week, I was into bands from "The Great White North".  This week, I'm going "Down Under".

Little River Band-"First Under The Wire"

MOFI (Early Mobile Fidelity 1-036)

Linda Ronstadt-"Simple Dreams"

MOFI, Gain 2, Ultra Analog, Limited Edition, Half Speed, 180 Gram

@slaw...I have the CBS/SONY Japan Pro Use copy and it's the absolute best I've ever heard and I have a US & UK 1st pressing.  Wonderful album.

We've had a bunch of snow and REALLY cold weather here also.  Totally agree...I love my stereo even more during these events!

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard-"Sketches Of Brunswick East"

US, Limited/Special Edition, Yellow With Blue Sky Splatter

Gary Clark Jr.-"Live/North America 2016"

Ten Bands One Cause, 2LP, Limited Edition, Pink Vinyl

I’ll add my $.02 worth. I have a massive amount of both German and Japanese pressings, (along with a plethora from other countries).

I find, almost without question, that the German and Japanese pressings are better than most others. Just my opinion...

...for what it’s worth...YMMV.

 

She & Him-"Classics"

US 1st Pressing

@slaw...thanks for the M. Ward mention!

Alison Krauss And Union Station-"So Long So Wrong"

MOFI, Gain 2, 2LP, Ultra Analog

 

Already pre-ordered the new Alison Krauss!

Absolutely LOVE her. Seen her solo and with the band numerous times.

Also, I'm going to her Red Rocks show in June!

@slaw...playing off your lead:

Roseanne Cash-"Kings Record Shop"

Japanese Pressing

Tedeschi Trucks Band-"Revelator"

Music On Vinyl, Limited Edition, 2LP, Flamin' Yellow Vinyl

My theme this week is going to be Southern Rock, (inspired by @slaw). Southern Rock is one of my favorite genres of music and I have a TON of LPs.  To quote Gregg Allman; "Southern Rock is a feeling, it's a way of life. It's about the dirt roads, the sweat, and the soul of the South."

 

Blackberry Smoke-"The Whippoorwill" (FANTASTIC album)

US Pressing, Limited Edition, Whiskey colored vinyl

 

Saw these guys in Denver the night before they were to leave for their first European tour. Take about an incredible show! AXS TV filmed it.

@cartman68...NICE table!  I'm a huge Transrotor fan.  What arm do you have?  I had that same cart at one time, it's also really good.  I bet that rig sounds great!  Thanks for chiming in on this thread...
