Hergest Ridge .... Mike Oldfield.
Playing on thrift store Sony LX-22 DD TT purchase whilst in NC on vacation.
Cw Sony VL5 cart it actually sounds PDG.
Not bad for $45! |
Bought quite an eclectic ( for me) collection today.
First up.
Aztec Two Step S/T. |
Running on Empty ... Jackson Browne. |
Rock N Roll Outlaws ... Foghat |
Tubular Bells ....... Mike Oldfield.
Original UK release.
Who sells that for $1?? |
@slaw
Going on your recommendation here.
Found a copy of El Camino on Discogs cw the 7" bonus single and CD.
Fair price so we will see..... |
Just a bit of a contrast there Greg.
Not listened to Accept for ever, always brings to mind " balls to the wall".
Have a solo album by Udo, it’s slightly more refined than Accept although you still end up feeling like you have just been yelled at by a very angry short German! Lol. |
Another Night ... The Hollies. |
Listen ... A Flock Of Seagulls. |
The Envoy ... Warren Zevon.
|
@noromance .
Do you have a dedicated mono setup or just play them on regular stereo cart? |
@reubentÂ
What do you think of that album?
I just bought it on R2R not had chance to listen to it yet. |
|
Dangerous Music ... Robin George.
Once touted as the British Billy Squier but never fulfilled that hype. |
Desperate ..... Divinyls.
Right up there with one of my other favorite female lead groups ... The Motels. |
Crosseyed Heart ... Keith Richards.
180g 2 LP set.
Bought this ages ago but only just got round to playing it.
Stunning SQ, worth every penny imho. |
Marathon ... Santana.
Never heard this one before today, picked it up in an antique mall in North Carolina.
Not too shabby. |
Slaw
Why is that disturbing?
|
Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School ... Warren Zevon.
Never quite got the full recognition he deserved, sad way to end as well. |
Slaw
Next up is going to be the 45rpm version of el Camino from your recommendation.
Hopefully that truly will be a reference recording. |
Slaw.
It was in Sanford, I was working in Aberdeen/ Pinehurst area.
2 weeks before I was in Wilmington.
Maybe the UK vs Classic version is part of the difference I perceive on on Rough Mix. |
@reubent
Darn good call on Rough Mix.
One of my goto for system test, it has it all in spades imho |
Agreed it is not in the caliber of some of your recordings no doubt
But my copy was a still sealed copy and is pristine vinyl and to my ears it is very good sq.
It is not Aja or Crime of the Century but I find it is a very dynamic recording which for me is a good test, lots of good transients.
Ultimate reference recording maybe not but in my system it tells me whether changes I have wrought were for the better or not.
Like the new to me Manley Chinook SE phono stage I am trying out.....
P.S …. I try to avoid getting "the wind" at my age, it can end up being equally disturbing...…..
|
Slaw
Not got round to it yet.... lol
Married with kid, need I say more...…..
Tonight as soon as everybody in the house has quit pestering me!
|
Finally....
El Camino ... The Black Keys.
45rpm.
First time ever played my main TT at 45rpm ... Lol.
Good job I set both 33 and 45 with a strobe through the Walker controller when I got it.
Much easier than swapping belt onto different pulley.
Woah!
Darn.
Might have to invest in a few more 45rpm remasters if this is how they sound.
Thx @slaw .
Big thumbs up on this combined with the Chinook equal Ubervana! |
Headkeeper ... Dave Mason |
Our local FYE have a 50% sale on a lot of vinyl today.
Picked up a few goodies, always nice to play virgin vinyl!.
First up 180gm Ltd purple grape edition of..... The Stage by Avenged Sevenfold. |
Big, Bam, Boom ... Hall & Oates. |
Strange Brew ... The Very Best of Cream.
Superb SQ on this copy. |
A Rock n Roll Alternative .... A.R.S. |
|
Premonition .... Survivor |
4 Way Street ..... CSN&Y. |
Decided last night that I really needed to cut another media type out and with that I sold 300 CD job lot on eBay this morning. Freaking box weighed 65lb, good job media mail exists!
Only about 300 more left...... |
Great details Noromance.
Have been mulling over trying a Decca cart forever but not bit the bullet yet.
Was close to buying a modified Grey but dallied too long and it was gone. |
???
The Division Bell .... Pink Floyd.
Truly sublime original UK release. |
Slaw.
When do you sleep?
Lol.
I am awed by your commitment to the music my friend! |
MangeTout ... Blancmange.
One of my favorite British new wave bands. |
For Those Who Think Young ... Rough Trade.
More new wave, Canadian this time. |
|
The Marshall Tucker Band Greatest Hits |
Where I Should Be .... Peter Frampton.
Nos and sealed virgin vinyl before I opened it this morning.
Would this class as a " super hot stamper" ? Lol. |
Nice Jim!
Hopefully next house it will be the mountain goats job! |
Brian
This is downsized from last house ... Lol.
1.3 acres.
Last house was 3.5acres.
Sometimes Arizona or Nevada looks good. Rocks , cacti and sand! |
|
The Glow .... Bonnie Rait |
The Mirror... Spooky Tooth |
Livin in the 20th Century ... Steve Miller Band.
Very Nice SQ on this one, does not hurt it was another sealed NOS album before tonight. |
Opiate ... Tool.
180gm vinyl. |
Yes it is, as are the vast majority of the Alan Parsons output imho.
Think I have 10 albums total and cannot say as there is a bad one among the lot of them.
