That's a cool album jacket Bill! 

Hey Steve, I agree! Another thing to love about the LP is all the cool cover art. It adds to the fun of playing them, imo.

Pablo Cruise / S-T
1975 A&M

Lovely SQ, another nice final cut here with “Ocean Breeze”.

Traffic / John Barleycorn Must Die
1970 United Artists

I may be wrong but I think the saying is “All Killer, No Filler”.


10cc / Deceptive Bends
1977 Mercury 

Fun lyrics, good SQ, great final cut with “Feel The Benefit.”

Thanks @bdp24, also a couple LPs at kaseychambers.com
FWIW, it’s Divinyls—no “The”. Spellcheck or late night fog? 🤔

@sbank Hi Spencer, there’s so many more that I couldn’t get to. The Church was next in the queue but I was nodding off. I don’ t have KC or CB on vinyl.


The Divinyls / Desperate
1983 Chrysalis 

It’s Australian bands playing tonight, great music, fun stuff!


Paul Kelly And The Messengers / Gossip
1987 A&M

Standout content and SQ, a great record.

Midnight Oil / Blue Sky Mining
1990 Columbia

A nice follow-up to Diesel and Dust. My son texted me tonight he was playing some Midnight Oil, great idea Ryan!

Midnight Oil / Diesel and Dust
1987 Columbia

Awesome record, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dire Straits / S-T
1978 Warner Bros.

Really a great LP. SQ, near or at wow level. “Six Blade Knife”, more wow.

Gerry Rafferty / City To City
1978 United Artists

Played the dickens out of this back in the day and it just keeps sounding better and better.

Charlie / No Second Chance
1977 Janus

A favorite record, extra fun with headphones.

Wings / Wings At The Speed Of Sound
1976 Capitol

Excellent LP, SQ. Uncontrollable urge to crank it up for “Beware My Love”.

Blue Stingrays / Surf-N-Burn
1997 Epitone

High end surf music, high end sonics. Songs like ”Surfer’s Life” keep me coming back for more.

The Beach Boys / Good Vibrations~Best Of The Beach Boys
1975 Warner Bros.

High end surf music, some low end SQ.

Justin Hayward~John Lodge / Blue Jays
1975 Threshold

An album better than any Moody Blues effort by some Moody Blues guys.


The Byrds / The Byrds’ Greatest Hits
1967 CBS

Decent sonics, probably sounded best on a stereo ca.1967. “Chimes Of Freedom”, nice…

+1 Closer To Home…”I’m Your Captain”, love that!

BTW Greg, impressive you’re staying on task A-Z cataloging. That’s challenging. Cheers!

Daryl Hall~John Oates / Abandoned Luncheonette 
1973 Atlantic

Back to vintage. Simply put, a fabulous record.

Jethro Tull / Thick As A Brick
2022 Parlophone 50th Anniversary RE

Half-speed master of Steven Wilson’s Stereo Remix. Arrived today, so far I’m pleased with the sound. His Aqualung remix was also well done, imo.

Elton John / Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
2014 Mercury 40th Anniversary RE

Remaster by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering from the original analog tapes. So good I almost enjoy Benny And The Jets now. 😁 Just kidding, Elton.

@big_greg I agree and the great SQ and quiet vinyl add to that. I hadn’t listened to it in a long time, forgot how much I enjoy it.

Grateful Dead / The Best Of “Skeletons In The Closet”
1974 Warner Bros.

Neil Young / Live At Massey Hall 1971
2007 Reprise

A wonderful ‘you are there’ live double LP. Just Neil and a quiet, respectful audience. Nice.


1977 Janus

This record hits my sweet spot, finishes nicely with Guitar Hero.

@slaw Steve, I’ve been in the Caribbean island hopping for the past couple of weeks. My system…ha!

I’ve been checking the thread occasionally, lots of good music being played and missing the main system after reading the posts.

I’ll be back home this weekend playing records, it’s good to be missed. Thanks!

@tgilb 

Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love

Awesome record, played the other night and realized I bought it new 55 years ago <sigh>. It still sounds fantastic and past memories flood back, love it!

@bkeske Nice amps Brian!
