Netania Davrath – Baroque Cantatas with The Wiener Solisten (Vanguard 1966)

Marian McPartland, Teddi King – Marian Remembers Teddi (Halcyon 1974)

+1 Talk Talk, The Colour of Spring.

I note you got the album name spelled in its English form. Nice.

The World's Greatest Jazzband Of Yank Lawson And Bob Haggart – Live At The Roosevelt Grill (Atlantic 1970)

Anna Maria Alberghetti – Songs By Anna Maria Alberghetti (Mercury Wing 1960)
+1  Frank Zappa, One Size Fits All.
"Arf, she said." Musically and SQ one of his best.
the AC guys had to move my right speaker and monoblock
Jim, I had AC guys unscrewing sheetrock over my walnut 401 and putting the dusty screws on the freakin' plinth. I called them out and they moved them to the freakin' pool table. Ugh.
Thomas Jefferson – Dreaming Down The River To New Orleans (Southland 1962)

Awesome album. Recommended. 
Aldous Harding – Party (4AD 2017)

This has grown on me. Nice intimate close-miked vocal and musically sparse recording. Recommended.
Doc Evans / Knocky Parker / Albert Nicholas / Earl Murphy / Gene Juckem – Reminiscing In Dixieland, Stomps And Blues Vol. 1 (Audiophile 1959)
Jim Cullum's Happy Jazz Band – Happy Landing! More Jazz by...S/T (Audiophile 1960?)

This was as dirty a record as I've seen. But the vinyl looked hopeful. Two runs through the ultrasonic and it's a NM.

Jean Sibelius - Berliner Philharmoniker, Christian Ferras, Herbert von Karajan – Violinkonzert · Finlandia (Deutsche Grammophon 1974)

The World's Greatest Jazzband Of Yank Lawson And Bob Haggart – Live At The Roosevelt Grill (Atlantic 1970)

Entertaining and nice to note that the audience chatted through performances like they do today! Recording is fine but nowhere like the clarity of a good late 50s/60s recording. Must be using transistors.
Karen Wyman - S/T (Decca 1970)

Hmmm. She’s 16 and full of energy. But man, the sound is a little strident on some of the cuts. Couple of gems though.
Knocky Parker – Piano Artistry (Audiophile 1955 mono)

My oldest (non shellac) microgroove record. Didn't play it all as solo piano is not really my thing. Interestingly, the previous owner had barely legible notes grading each song with the note "I'm very impressed by the rich weighty piano!"


Johann Strauss Jr., Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Wolfgang Sawallisch – Johann Strauss Concert (Philips 1963)
Anna Maria Alberghetti – Songs By Anna Maria Alberghetti (Mercury Wing 1960)

The woman can sing.
D. Charles Speer & The Helix – Leaving The Commonwealth (Thrill Jockey 2011)
Weird how a perfect looking shiny and spotless disk can be so noisy while a moldy, grayish-dull, surface-scratched throwaway plays perfectly. 
Tanita Tickaram
I remember when she came on the scene in the 80s. Oh...yeah...Twist in my Sobriety? 
Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band – This Kid's The Greatest! (Good Time Jazz 1962)
@tomic601 Fish. I once had a 75gal tank with king kong cichlids and kissing garami.
Lotte Lenya – Kurt Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins (Columbia Masterworks 1957)
Porcelain Raft first album gets better every time I listen to it. Any idea if their second one is as good?
@spiritofradio Yeah, I see you went with the 63s! Enjoy. Some day, you can upgrade to 57s!
Lester Flatt And Earl Scruggs And The Foggy Mountain Boys – Hard Travelin' (Columbia 1963)

Love these guys. Nice recording. Interestingly, The Ballad of Jed Clampett written by Paul Henning, the theme song for the television series The Beverly Hillbillies, was first recorded on this album long before the show.
Various – Fast Folk Musical Magazine: Live At The Bottom Line 89 (Fast Folk Musical Magazine 1990)
From earlier.

k.d. lang – Shadowland (Sire 1988)

Really like the wall of sound on this album.
Jonah Tolchin – Clover Lane (Yep Roc Records 2014)

Sweet record. Check it out. Wooden Wand vibe.
Roger Waters – The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking (Harvest 1984)

Bought it when it was released. Still remember being blown away by it. Technics belt drive, Rotel amp and cheap KEF speakers. "Sexual Reeeevvvolution." They were the days. Thought we would live forever.
