@slaw - Curious to know if you own "Sweet Old World" as well as "This Sweet Old World". I've owned "Sweet old World" on CD since it's release and I bought "This Sweet Old World" when it was released on vinyl.
I prefer the music/songs (arrangement, vocals, etc.) on the original. I prefer the sound quality on the newer album, but I do not like the arrangements, or Lucinda's vocal style as she has aged. I listened to the newer LP a couple of times and sold it. Just never warmed-up to the new style, having grown up with the original.
I always thought the original was sorta "Sweet". The re-make, not so much..... |
Chris Whitley - "Living With the Law"
|
Kelly Finnigan - "The Tales People Tell"
Any of you guys have this one? Curious what you think of the performance and the sound quality. Saw it on a couple of "Best of 2019" lists. It was released on Colemine Records, a small label from here in Cincinnati (actually Loveland, Ohio). The owner of Colemine - Terry Cole is also part owner (along with his bother Bob) of my LRS - Plaid Room Records.

Concrete Blonde - "Bloodletting"

Finishing up Chris Whitley - "Living With the Law" from last night. Have side 2 spinning now. What a great album.

Black Pumas - S/T
The Who - "Who"
Harry Nilsson - "Losst and Found"
Spinning Black Pumas now. Good stuff........

@slaw - Speakers are good. They are more articulate and more resolving than my Infinitys. That is a double edged sword. Not sure which way I'm going to go. I'm thinking about a project to build new cabinets for the Infinitys and mirror-image them while I'm at it. Who knows where I'll end up with speakers. I like the resolution of the Reference 3A's, but I like the bottom end of the Infinitys.
Happy New Year Brother! |
Harry Nilsson - "Losst and Founnd" |

@boxer12 - Love the bears reubent Cool. They are local heroes for me. Formed from the band The Raisins and Adrian Belew, all local guys here in Cincinnati. When The Bears disbanded, the remaining members re-formed as Psychodots. I've heard it said that Psychodots are the best band in the US to not be signed to a major label deal. I don't know about that, but I do know they had a few great albums and put on tremendous live shows for 25+ years. I miss them. And I miss The Bears and I miss Adrian from his more pop days. |

Ass Ponys - "Electric Rock Vinyl"
|
@jamesclarke - Sounds peaceful. Battery power? ;~)
|
Culling records right now. Currently playing:
Ryan Adams - "Reckless"
Do it stay, or do it go...........?
|
|
@boxer12 - I haven't heard vol. 2, but I love "The Acoustic Adrian Belew" the first. For the regular studio albums, Probably "Mr. Music Head", then "Young Lion". This was a GREAT string of albums.....
|
@boxer12 - What's your favorite album from Adrian Belew? |
@boxer12 - No vinyl of "The Acoustic Adrian Belew", as far as I (and Discogs) know. I bought the CD at his show in 1993. |

Glad to see folks enjoying Neutral Milk Hotel. "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is a masterpiece IHMO. |
Michael Franks - "The Art of Tea"
Haven't spun this record in 25 - 30 years. It's better than I remembered. Excellent sound quality.
|
Orlando Cachaito Lopez - "Cachaito"
|
RUSH - "Roll the Bones"
Why are we here?
Because We're Here
Roll the Bones
Roll the Bones..........

Yes - "Going for the One"
Some great songs, including one of my favorites from Yes - "Parallels". However, the sound quality is awful. It sounds like a jumbled mess. I think I'll look to see if there was a re-master that fixed the poor SQ of the original release. |
Yes - "Drama" - 2016 Kevin Gray Remaster |
@slaw - Hey brother! What is the name of that on-line music seller that does the 60% off sales a few times per year? I've forgotten the name and don't recall seeing any e-mail notifications from them in a while.
|
|
@slaw - Mine is a US version. Just bought a Japan version from Discogs. Comments were that it was the best. We'll see...... |
@uberwaltz - The "Drama" remaster is pretty good. An improvement over my OP for sure. OP is in the "to trade" bin today and headed to my LRS tomorrow.

Rush - "A Farewell to Kings" |
Big Country - "Wonderland" |
Kyle Craft - "Full Circle Nightmare"
|
|
Tomorrow - S/T
Early British psychedelic rock, including a very young Steve Howe before he joined Yes.
|
Lucinda Williams - "Little Honey" |
|
Kelly Finnigan - "The Tales People Tell" |
Steve Forbert - "Jackrabbit Slim"
|
Jim Capaldi - "Fierce Heart
Jim Capaldi, Steve Winwood and even Van Morrison on one track. Still '80's crap. Into the "to trade" bin it goes. Glad I only paid 12.5 cents for it as part of a lot of 80 albums I bought last summer.
|
@spiritofradio - I always liked the simplicity of "Jackrabbit Slim". Just googled Steve Forbert on Wiki and they mentioned - "
Jackrabbit Slim was recorded completely live at Quadrophonic Studio in Nashville, Tennessee,". That explains a lot about the sound...... |
@spiritofradio - Nope, original 1979 release of "Jackrabbit Slim".
|
Bob Geldof - "Deep in the Heart of Nowhere"
|
|
Chris Hillman - "Bidin' My Time"
|
Elvin Bishop - "Hog Heaven"
