Ewan MacColl With Peggy Seeger ‎– Classic Scots Ballads (Tradition 1959)
Buddy Tate, Al Grey ‎– Just Jazz (Uptown 1984)

Great album. Recommended. 
Country Joe And The Fish ‎– Together
(Vanguard 1968)

Good album. Like a cross between Beefheart, Herbie Flowers, The Doors, and a pinch Monty Python.
Robin Petrie & Danny Carnahan ‎– Continental Drift (Flying Fish 1987)

Scottish-French Celtic folk. Harp, violin, dulcimer with some vocals. Sweet.
Noah Greenberg Conducting The New York Pro Musica ‎– An Anthology Of Their Greatest Works / English Medieval Carols ( Everest 1966)
Friend & Lover ‎– Reach Out Of The Darkness
(Verve Forecast 1968) 1 side

60s fever dream.
Yeah @slaw Caught me off-guard.  Amazing how music sounds so much better than you remember when the kit is up to snuff!
@spiritofradio I used listen to a lot of YouTube music. I heard the Thanatos track first. Then Spiracle. So I bought the record. She's talented. Prefer the older piano work.

@spiritofradio  Have you heard the version of Górecki
Symphony No. 3 with Lisa Gerrard? For me, it's the best of the three.

@j_husker I’m not a fan of this smoothness you mentioned in the Analog Productions’s copy. I always prefer the more "raw" versions. I was at a great demo of Acoustic Sounds' before and afters and almost always preferred the original—clicks and all.

Michael Hedges – Watching My Life Go By (Open Air 1985)

Bought this when released. Still sounds great. 

Matthew Barber & Jill Barber – The Family Album (Outside Music 2016)

Matthew Barber & Jill Barber ‎– The Family Album (Outside Music 2016)

Folk rock vibe like Julia and Angus Stone. 
Testing a new tube in my phono psu. A red RCA 5693 driver. Listening to these test records all over again.

Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits
Loudon Wainwright lll - vol 1

William Ackerman ‎– Passage (Windham Hill 1981)

Haven't listened to this in 30+ years yet almost remember every note.
@slaw Hangin' in there bro!

@tomic601 You're back on form!

Van Morrison ‎- No Guru, No Method, No Teacher (Mercury 1986)

Gilbert & Sullivan, D'Oyly Carte Opera Company - The Mikado ‎(11x Shellac, 12", Album - His Master's Voice, 1918)

So this is a hoot. These belonged to Herself's grandfather. I swapped in an Ortofon M78 on my modified 12" Jelco 750 and was pleasantly surprised by how good these sounded. First time playing 78s on 401 #2. She loved hearing them again, both as a reminder of childhood visits to grandfather's basement, and when she performed the show many years ago.

Shannon Lay – August (Sub Pop 2019)

Orange vinyl, mostly clean and silent. Very good SQ. Nice album.

The Gabrieli Quartet, Britten, Bridge – Fantasy Quartet / Novelletten For String Quartet / Three Idylls For String Quartet (London 1978)

Sealed and minty. Sweet recording.

The Dixie Double-Cats – Is It True What They Say About Dixie? (20th Fox 1959)

Great recording.
