on today/tonight....

Beastie Boys "Check Your Head
T Rex "Electric Warrior"  2017 re-master
T Rex "The Slider"  deluxe edition/ dbl lp
The Monkees "Mono Box"
My painful admission (We all have them)… @reubent ....this is my first time owning/ then listening to T Rex in a home system.

So far "EW" is sounding very good, just like the reports I’ve read.

I’m really looking forward to The Monkees Mono Box. Michael Nesmith was a superb song writer. They did not get much credit, I presume because of their TV show. Some may remember Steven Stills wanted to be a Monkee.
OK...…..

The Monkees..

I've listened to the first lp..

SQ=10. No _hit.

This was more than I ever expected, but very much what I love.
John Kilzer  "Memory in the Making"

I know what you may be thinking? So did I.

After a listen, I was convinced, this lp is worthy.

Give it a spin...….
@tooblue ,

She just cannot leave you alone for one minute....

Have fun!

Check out my post above, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised?

Currently cleaning...

Eddie Money  "Life For The Taking"

Right now...

Keb Mo  "S/T"  Pure Pleasure/lp
Eddie Money "Life For the Taking"....

WOW! If you thought the 80’s were boring,..._hit....listen to this!
My whiskey doesn't have such a prominent place my friend. Maybe...just a while longer...???? I probably will go to at least sunrise.

Enjoying "High Noon".
Currently cleaning...

The Eurythmics "In the Garden"...2018 re-master..."from the original 1/2" master tapes"

All I care about is SQ.. We'll see.
Leo Kottke "My Feet Are Smiling" original pressing

Mark Kozelek & Jimmy Lavalle "Perils From the Sea"
Still very valid and appropriate for (today).

Graham Nash "Songs for Beginners" /Classic Records/ a solid 10 on SQ
Currently being cleaned...

Cruzados "after dark"...I recall this one as being a "sleeper" to a degree.

The Thorns "S/T" ( Matthew Sweet. Shawn Mullins, Pete Droge)


but first....Leo Kottke "Burnt Lips"
FWIW: The Thorns lp is proving to be quite good. I bought it when first released but never played it, maybe once. Has some of the heavy hitters accompaining such as Jim Keltner, Roy Bittan, etc.....


@intone

Was that Radiohead pressing 45rpm, only available through their website? Most don’t list their systems here. Are you here only to promote your speaker line? Since I directed comments toward a previous music post you made with no response, I’m now wondering?

Happy 4th!
In honor of John Fogerty’s courage years ago with his seminal song "Fortunate Son"... I’m putting on "Blue Moon Swamp".


Let there be NO DOUBT... Donald John Trump is a fortunate son!


I played the first lp in the Monkees Mono Box again, then put on Michael Nesmith and The First National Band "Loose Salute" 

They both sound great!
I've recleaned the above two AB lps and am now putting on "Armchair..."

The SQ on these lps is fantastic!
here's another...

Andrew Bird  "Break It Yourself"

I had forgotten I owned this one as well.
Played it earlier this morning...a deep cleaning and some flattening later...

Mudcrutch "2".

The more focused cleaning with my steamer then a 50 minute cycle in my US cleaner resulted in an extremely quiet lp. Unlike before with a similar, although less focused method. It makes a difference folks.

Great lp!
I had thought about it through the week... a comparison of my two "Quadrophenia" lps. One is an original Track, the other is the Universal? from around 10 years or so ago. Not much info on the later...made in the EU/Polydor. No year is stated. I thought, based upon my memory, it was from Universal. A re-issue or a re-master???
Been jammin' to NY... 

Thinking I'll put on The Outlaws "Hurry Sundown"...
Just steamed Bob Seger "The Distance". It was a gift, looks to be rarely played, and I’m sure it is an early pressing.
It’s being US’d right now, my friends...


Having said that.. Blackfoot "Strikes"...being listened to without being cleaned in 30? years?
Valerie June "The Order of Time"  great lp/solid 10!

Jose Gonzalez "Junip"
Angus & Julia Stone "Down The Way" & "Snow"

von Grey "Live at Criminal Records 01.01.13"
