Needless to say, the cover was banned in the puritan US. The band called themselves after the Bob Seidemann photo title 'Blind Faith' of the kid with the plane.
Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir, Ed Trickett ‎– All Shall Be Well Again (Folk-Legacy 1983)

Scottish folk that lets you know the single malt may not cut it. Escape to The Highlands.
Robin Williamson ‎– Legacy Of The Scottish Harpers Volume Two (Claddagh 1986)

Steven Wilson – The Raven That Refused To Sing And Other Stories (Kscope 2013)

Never say, try no mat! Ha ha
@slaw Just winding you up bro!
Seriously, no mat is a great base reference point when trying other mats.
Loudon Wainwright III ‎– More Love Songs (Demon 1986)

(From earlier in the evening)
Peter Ludwig - Peter Wöpke - Arben Spahiu ‎– Café Banlieue Tango à Trois (Farao Studios 2006)

This is superb. A must have.

Mozart - Felix Prohaska Conducting The Vienna State Opera Orchestra* - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Serenade, K. 525 / Symphony No. 40 In G Minor, K. 550. (Mono, Vanguard 1956)

Ian & Sylvia – Lovin' Sound (MGM 1967)

Did you know that these guys wrote Four Strong Winds covered by Neil Young?
Good album.
@tomic601 I told herself about the dupe and asked 'what are the odds?' She said that means you've too many!
All good. Thanks again.
The Elliot Lawrence Band ‎– Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (Fantasy 1956 mono)
Simon Joyner / Songs for the new year

@boxer12 I'll take your Leonard Cohen and raise it to Syd Barrett.

String Driven Thing – The Machine That Cried (Charisma 1973)

Quirky somewhat masterpiece.

Kenny Davern – The Hot Three (Jazzology 1988 [RE 1979])

First poor recording in ages. Shame.

Thomas Jefferson – Dreaming Down The River To New Orleans (Southland 1962)

One of my favorites. Recommended. 

Various – Fast Folk Musical Magazine: Live At The Bottom Line 1989 (Fast Folk 1990)

The Michael Smith track alone is worth the price of admission. 

Pepper Adams – Julian (Inner City Records 1978)

Nice clear live recording.

@Uberwaltz Have you done any mods to your 401?
Idler, bearing, platter, (power supply)? I know mine is a whole different machine than an original. 

@puffball08 @bkeske 

Agreed. 12BH7A (CV5042) can be great. Curious if the Trumpet could facilitate it.

I had an amp that called for 12AU7/ECC82 and I swapped in a long black plate Brimar CV5042. It draws more heater current but man, it had such a "black" background and air, I was blown away.

Melanie ‎– Gather Me (Buddah 1971)

One of her best. Very spiritual (not religious) and country. 
Various ‎– Cross Country (Fast Folk Musical Magazine 1988)

Nice collection of songs. Good SQ.
Various ‎– Fast Folk Musical Magazine Vol. 2, No. 6 - From Sharp Minds Come Sharp Products (Fast Folk Musical Magazine 1985)

The Milk Carton Kids – Monterey (Anti- 2015)

Sweet album. Nice quiet vinyl with fine dynamic range.

+1 Hoodoo dude

Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Hawkwind - Hall of the Mountain Grill
Neil Young - Hawks and Doves 

@tomic601 and anyone interested in the tube power supply I hooked into my modified Croft 25R phono preamp. On a whim, I bought another set of Nobsound springs and put them under the power supply.  It weighs about 18 pounds. I figured it couldn't hurt, right?
Curved Air ‎– Air Cut (Warner Bros. 1973)

Sounds as fresh as it did almost 50 years ago. Heck, who am I fooling? It’s classic 70s. And then there’s Sonja. 'Easy' is simply brilliant.
@bkeske 
What? I can’t hear you well from down here.
Dude, with a Project Debut Carbon, you're only in the first circle of hell. 8 more to go!
Kid Ory’s Creole Jazz Band ‎– S/T
(Good Time Jazz 1955)

Almost perfect music and recording. 
Jack Teagarden
(With Red Nichols’ Louisiana Rhythm Kings, Adrian Rollini’s Orchestra, Eddie Lang-Joe Venuti And Their All Star Orchestra, Eddie Condon And His Orchestra, Louis Armstrong And The All Stars) ‎- The Golden Horn Of Jack Teagarden (Decca 1964)

Worth it to hear Louis say "Blow it, Jack, blow it." Magnificent music.
