The Ruby Braff / George Barnes Quartet (Chiaroscuro 1973)

Don Ewell Quartet ‎– Yellow Dog Blues (Audiophile 1959)

@bdp24 Checked out that The Weight recording with The Edge and Jimmy Page. Herself looked over and said, "What. Is. That?"

Brahms, Dvořák, Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt, Hamburg Radio Symphony Orchestra – Brahms Hungarian Dances, Dvořák Slavonic Dances (London 1953 mono)

Teddy Wilson And His Trio ‎– Mr. Wilson And Mr. Gershwin  (Columbia ‎1957 mono)
Lotte Lenya ‎– Kurt Weill’s The Seven Deadly Sins (Columbia Masterworks 1957 mono)
Jane Morgan With The Troubadors ‎– Fascination (Kapp 1957 mono)

A few songs on this to die for. If you're not in love after 'River Seine' and 'Midnight In Athens', you or your system is dead inside. Recommended.

@bkeske Just caught wind of your big tweak. Congrats on the 🔔s. Thought you might have gone the tube route but agree the Signature is probably best with your amp. 

@bkeske Hey, at least you won't have to worry about rolling tubes!

Pulp - Different Class (Island 2011 RP, 1995)

This Mortal Coil ‎– It'll End In Tears (4AD 1984)

Bought new when released. It's one of my most played records and still in NM- condition. Recommended. 
Various ‎– The Festival Tapes Recorded Live In Telluride 1977 (Flying Fish 1978)
Marilyn Middleton-Pollock ‎– Nobody Knows You (Fellside Recordings 1988)

Sold by Rega back in the day. Excellent folk songs with a Maddy Prior vibe. Very good surprise album.
G. Calvin Weston, The Phoenix Orchestra ‎– Dust And Ash (577 Records 2019)
@boxer12 Hope all goes well and your wife makes a full recovery. 

How is the phono cable going?
Patrick Sky ‎– Reality Is Bad Enough (Verve Forecast 1968)

Did I comment on this before? A mash of Donovan and Syd Barrett.
Kay Starr ‎– Kay Starr Sings Volume 2 (Coronet 1962)
Side 2

Josh White ‎– Sings Ballads - Blues (Elektra 1957)
The Lennon Sisters ‎– Our Favorite Songs (Pickwick/33 1965)

Delicious vocals and recording. Play this at a show and silence the Krall bores. 
Billy Vera & Judy Clay ‎– Storybook Children (Atlantic ‎1968)

Reviewed by Billy Vera on Amazon!
"A great album by this ground-breaking duo. Judy Clay of the Drinkard Singers gospel group and hit songwriter Billy Vera made history when they appeared at Harlem's Apollo Theatre in 1968, one month after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King. Yet they played to standing ovations as the first racially integrated duo to ever sing love songs."
Hank Locklin ‎– Bummin' Around (RCA Camden 1965)

Classic country. Crystal clear recording.
Alun Davies ‎– Daydo (Columbia 1972)

Co-conspirator of Cat Stevens and it sounds it. Average recording. I'll try it on the other arm another time. Side 1.
Peter Ludwig, Peter Wopke, Arben Spahiu ‎- Café Banlieue (Farao Studios 2006)
Gale Garnett ‎– Lovin’ Place (RCA Victor 1965)

Man, that’s a hot recording. Probably one of the loudest records per volume level setting I have. Solid performance.
@bkeske Must dig that out. It's been too long. Funny that you were there. I thought I heard you hollering. 
Sara Grey With Ed Trickett - S/T (Folk-Legacy 1970)

OK. You sit over in that channel, Sara, and I'll sit over in this one. We'll add in some post-echo too. Lovely.
@spiritofradio I guess so. I'm just not a huge fan of vibes or flute in jazz which is why I've not played this much. Tonight was an eye-opener and I enjoyed the music. Minty condition helped.
Pam Garner ‎– Pam Garner Sings Quietly (Coral 1958)

At the other end of the spectrum, this one's a lot quieter. Definitely a bunch of rows back. Gave it a bump. Better but noise floor is lifted too. Great voice. Shame it's not more in yo face!
Duster Bennett ‎– Justa Duster (Blue Horizon 1969)

Oddball one-man-band. English blues. One side is live. Pal of John Mayall. Tragically killed in a car crash in 1976. Love this album.
@B I hear you.  They were the days. I'd give anything to be back with the patchouli longhair chicks!
Morgana King ‎– More Morgana (Ascot 1966)

Awesome. Light and airy recording. I'd have to recommend it.
Maggie Bell ‎– Queen Of The Night (Atlantic 1974)

Scotland's answer to Janis Joplin. Except she stayed away from the Chelsea Hotel.

The Innocence Mission – Befriended (Badman Recording Co. 2019 RE 2003)

Buddy Tate, Al Grey ‎– Just Jazz (Uptown 1984)

Nice recording. Recommended.
