@boxer12 Streaming  McDonald And Giles. Interesting, chill. I like it. I see BP Fallon wrote a song on it.
Doris Day With Paul Weston And His Music From Hollywood ‎– Day By Night (Columbia 1957 mono)
Michael Hedges ‎– Breakfast In The Field
(Windham Hill 1981)

Great recording. 
I believe they both ended up in King Crimson. I'm not familiar with BP Fallon?
@boxer12 Or they left KC?
Lydia? "Compromised and naked" Great stuff.

The Beatles ‎– Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Parlophone ‎1967)
@tomic601 Keep me updated on the Croft shootout.

@bkeske Didn't know you were an ISB man. I have a bunch.
The Beatles ‎– Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Parlophone 1967)

Stunningly quiet vinyl for such an old copy. Plays like new. 
@spiritofradio 

Pink Floyd The Final Cut
Wow this sounds good.  
Well, yeah. It's the best album ever made.
Kid Thomas And His Creole Jazz Band ‎– Sonnets From Algiers (Jazzology 1967)
@peguinpower Sorry to hear of your pal's passing. Passing the vinyl down is the way it's meant to be.
@boxer12  +1 Low. Fond memories of a European girl who turned me on to them. The dirge slow stuff. 
@bkeske Looking forward to your ’Tele’ experience. There is something about their clarity. It is literally like the removal of a veil. No other tube is like them. Except, that is, the ones I use which better the Telefunkens in most applications. The only problem is they do take at least 20 hours to open up and another 100 hours to reach full potential. They are these. They take the 'Tele' qualities and add blacker backgrounds, enhanced timbral delicacy, speed, and simply more inner detail.
Turk Murphy And His Jazz Band ‎– At The Roundtable (Forum 1959 mono/stereo)

Rigid vinyl record with superb sound for the time. Crystal clear if not a little 78 sounding. Wonderful music.
Les McCann Ltd. / Stanley Turrentine / Blue Mitchell ‎– Les McCann In New York (Pacific Jazz 1962)

Some good sh1t here.
Peter, Paul And Mary ‎– Album (Warner Bros. 1966)

Just great. Sweet cover of Gary Shearston's Sometime Lovin'.
Various ‎– Fast Folk Musical Magazine Vol.1/No.9  (Fast Folk Musical Magazine 1984)
Chad & Jeremy ‎– I Don’t Want To Lose You Baby (Columbia 1965)

A gentler Beatles. Nice recording notwithstanding a spacious stereo enhancement.
Sumpens Swingsters ‎– Hemma Hos Sumpen (G.H.B. 1980) ‎

Swedish dudes playing La Nouvelle-Orléans and Ragtime jazz with a sense of humor. Recorded live in the lead trumpeter's home on a tube mixer with a single stereo AKG mike to tape. Recommended. 
Sandra King Accompanied By Pat Smythe ‎– In A Concert Of Vernon Duke
(Audiophile 1985)  side 2
The Mike + Ruthy Band ‎– Bright As You Can
(Humble Abode Music 2015) sides 3/4

Superb album.
Roy Harper ‎– Once (Awareness 1990)

A friend passed. You only get one shot.
Simple, pointed lyric.

Eyes for the laughter
Thirst for the tongue
Hands for together
Ears for the song
The song of love
We sing in silence
Every moment long
Once
Here to be done to as we do
With only one chance
Here for the wonder of under the stars
For the one and only
Once
Joy for the children
Hope for the chance
Men for the women
Now for the dance
The dance of love
We dance just once
In unique circumstance
Once
Here to be done to as we do
With only one chance
Here for the wonder of under the stars
For the one and only once

Bought this when it came out. Famed for its bright and zippy mix, it's a classic. Brings me back to patchouli girls and skins.

Camel – Mirage (Deram 1974)

This is a blast from the past. The last time I played this was in a girlfriend's house with a ceramic stylus. 40 years ago. Man, she turned me on.
