Deodato / Very Together
1976 MCA

Interesting covers, Mancini’s “Peter Gunn” and Courage/Roddenberry’s “Theme From Star Trek”.

I’m reminded of Kenny Burrell…😁

Kenny Burrell & The Jazz Band / Generation
1987 Blue Note

i’m surprised I forgot I had this. @sbank and @6t5-gto 👍

We have a few of their CDs, wife liked the band and they grew on me.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Are You Experienced
2020 AP #8016, orig. 1967

Sam Fender / Seventeen Going Under
2021 Polydor 

Reminds me now and then of The Killers/Brandon Flowers, that’s not a bad thing!

No Ronnie Lane, I think he was out after 1970 but maybe came back for a year or so? That cover art’s a kick!

The Beogram with the tangential tonearm was way cool for a turntable back in the 70’s. I thought my Empire was cool, but…


Small Faces / Playmates
1977 Atlantic

Fabulous record; music, sonics and imaging. Fun stuff!

Steve, I’m with you on the Classic RE SQ. I’ve not heard the original, the RE has its moments but overall—I wish it was better.


Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds / S-T
2015 MOV, orig. 1992

Ian McLagan / Troublemaker
1979 Mercury

With Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Stanley Clark and others.

Hey Jim, speaking of Blackberry Smoke the LRS was playing the “Stoned” EP last visit, I should have grabbed it. Rolling Stones covers, done well.

The Who / Who’s Next
1971 Geffen

”My life’s in jeopardy”, great song, great record, love the bass.

@bdp24

I just finished a Wiki on Duophonic, never knew how it was done or that it was also called Fake Stereo. Thanks for the enlightenment, it’s a reason I hang out around here.

@bdp24 

Yes, in small print on the jacket’s front is “Electronically Reprocessed For Stereo”. I don’t know about “fake stereo” but the effect is (imo) comparable to the other stereo records I have that were released back then—not exactly gimmicky but maybe not as pleasant as later stereo records. I agree it’s a fantastic album either way. A newer re-issue would be welcome!

Rilo Kiley / Under The Blacklight
2007 Warner Bros.

Awesome record, great songs and SQ.

@slaw Tool to Tuttle, too cool! 👍

@6t5-gto The SQ on Grandaddy’s LP “Sumday” (V2 Records) is pretty amazing.

Got the MoFi 45rpm of Dire Straits “Brothers In Arms” today, also sounding fantastic.

U2 / Boy
1980 Island

The first and last U2 album with decent sonics, imo. Saw them play this on tour in a Portland tavern back in the day for 92¢, a radio station promo. Distant memories…

Bad Company / S-T
1974 Island

They snuck a sax in on “Don’t Let Me Down” that turns into a wailing guitar, nice!

Little Feat / Sailin’ Shoes
1972 Warner Bros.

Cool cover art by Neon Park for Little Feat’s second album. Mick Jagger looking in on the right.
