Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht ‎– Threepenny Opera, Original Cast Recording New York Shakespeare Festival Production (Columbia Masterworks 1976)

I love this album. Recommended.
Wonderful songs. Pirate Jenny for low Hz kettle drums.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ‎- Abattoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus (Mute ‎2004 [RE 2014])

Jim, indeed. The lovely Webb sisters. The DVD is essential and I prefer the vibe to LP to be honest.

Buddy Tate And The Muse Allstars ‎– Live At Sandy's (Muse 1980)

Can't go wrong with these guys. Live is even better. NM.
Alvin McBurney - Ira Ironstrings Plays: With Matches (Warner 1959)

Goofy jazz with a bunch of different instruments. Excellent analog recording.

I take your bagpipes and raise you:

The Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble – Alexandrov Song And Dance Ensemble Of The Soviet Army (Мелодия 1975)
Having said that, he was recently found to have a cart/arm mismatch after his years of experience.
Woah, back up a minute. I had one issue with a deep cut LP with a feisty Decca on a 12" 850 at the lowest tracking weight. 
The Jelco is solid. I have 4 of them.

@bkeske If you can stretch to the 850, it is worth it. Top arm.

+1 USA hifi. I have bought from them.
The 850 mk2 has silver wire. The mk1 should be fine.
Brian, Call George Merrill. He sells Jelco. He may have some left.
There's a 10" 750 for $610 on eBay.
Audio Sensibility have the Mk1 850S 9" for $1100.
Don't spend $1000+ on a 750.
Cootie Williams - Cootie in Hi-Fi (RCA 1986 RE)

Long w/e coffee morning music. 
Marianne Faithfull ‎– Strange Weather (Island 1987)

Bought this when it came out. Stunning. Recording is not the greatest but it's  wonderful.
Ann Mayo Muir - The Magic Of Mayo Muir (20th Century 1964)

It’s not Zeppelin but it’s all I can take after today.
Prokofiev - Jean Martinon, Paris Conservatoire Orchestra ‎– Symphony No. 7 Opus 131 - Russian Overture Opus 72 (Decca 1971)
Roy Harper - Flat Baroque and Berserk (Harvest 1970)

If you don't know this album, you might pick up a copy.
Cazzati, Fontana, Marini, Telemann, Gerard Schwarz ‎– A Baroque Trumpet Recital (Nonsuch 1973)
Severino Gazzelloni / Heinz Holliger / Jean-Pierre Rampal / I Musici Play Vivaldi / Albinoni & Quantz – Concertos By Vivaldi, Albinoni & Quantz (Philips 1973)

One of the first classical music records I owned. Looks better cleaned up with new inner and outer sleeves. The Vivaldi bassoon concerto is magnificent. An old favorite. VG++
Congrats on the cartridge. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the new rig. 
Prince And The Revolution ‎– Parade (Warner Bros. 1986)

Bought Prince albums when released and this is as minty as ever. Stunning SQ.

These guys are so much fun.
Siri Undlin / Humbird - Pharmakon (SP 2019)

Very nice vocals. Recommended.
I've been renovating and laying hardwood flooring in a room with some challenging angles so no records recently. Keep well. 
@bdp24 Nothing better than audiophile masters helping out the grasshoppers.
@tomic601 Received your care gift yesterday. Thank you! I'm doing some home stuff so no records but will revert soon.
Uber, Bowie's good.

Station To Station (RCA 1976)

Love his version of Wild is the Wind.

Barbra Streisand ‎– A Christmas Album (CBS 1967)

Very nicely recorded album for the day that's in it. 

It’s almost like he’s reading poetry....
He is. His son added the musicians to make a posthumous album.

Uber, Try dropping the dirty stylus into a Magic Eraser whereon you have placed numerous drops of propanol. (In a Graham Chapman voice)
Let it soak for 20 sec and then do the up and down. I cleaned my Paratrace tip after it was mistraking...thought it was kaput. Right as rain.
The White album is truly a pinnicle of human endeavor.

Robin Williamson & His Merry Band ‎– A Glint At The Kindling (Awareness 1986 [1979])
