@hedgehog +1 on Robin Trower - For Earth Below OP. One of my first records. Very nice. High Pulp - Mutual Attraction vol 3. (Live 45 EP) Love their stuff. |
@slaw thanks Steve. |

@boxer12 Re: the 2013 Snow Goose. I reserve the option to add a more definite response when I’ve listened to it again but yes, I think so. It definitely sounds more like a modern recording. It’s not exactly the same music but it’s pretty close (weird thing really). The original is an icon and one of my favorite albums. I have 3 copies, the US OP, a US Reissue, and an early UK and all are, like Joel says, just ok productions. The UK is the dullest. My US OP is best I think. Been listening to it digitally for a long time as a result. |
@boxer12 +1 on Camel Tim. I just got the 2013 re-recording, slightly rearranged in places, of Snow Goose that Latimer did with his new friends. An interesting artifact.
Mozart Complete String Quintets (Too difficult to spell the name of the Quintet performing) 1971 Telefunken (5 LP0 Box) Germany. A very nice set. The Quintets with the horns added are particular favorites. I’m on the third of five discs making for a long lovely listen on a rainy day here.

@ticat +1 on Magma. Far out! I love early heavy stuff like that.

@mammothguy54 That’s quite exciting news Joel. Please keep us posted.

@slaw Hey Steve. I finally got a spindle hole reamer: a Sable 33.33. Really nice gizmo to have around.

This was a most excellent set man. Was bummed when my LRS sold out of the RSD Koyaanisqatsi. I’ve streamed it several times though - its very cool. As for the rest, all excellent selections.

@big_greg what a find. Crusaders we’re a great band. Joe Sample (May he RIP) one of the all time greats. In the 70s every decent high school stage band in America played their stuff - this included ours. Wayne Henderson was a idol of mine. You are so lucky to stumble on those test pressings. Love to hear that record sometime. |
Astor Piazzolla - The American Clavé Recordings • 2022 Nonesuch (Germany) This is really cool. Beautiful music. Arrived today. Gave the first album of this three disc set another listen on the digital streamer earlier this evening, saving the record for a nightcap and comparison. Of course the record gives so much more - that’s expected but in this case, wow, all the things I love about records are here on display. Warmth, detail, tonal accuracy, liquid sweetness, natural overlapping of instruments, natural harmonics. It sounds so real. The digital version was exciting and conveyed the musical ideas but the record, wow, so much emotion. If anyone who loves good music played this album on their home stereo without being moved I’d be really surprised. |
@tgilb +1 on The Steve Howe Album. |
@bslon hey Bro. Didn’t know you were a fan of Jane - but of course you are. I really like that band, not being afraid to display my love of prof stuff. Very cool. |
@noromance +1 on Yehudi Menuhin. |
@reubent good comparison. Thanks. |
Rush • Moving Pictures • 40th Anniversary • 2022 • Anthem More clarity and air than other issues including the OP and the other DMM from a few years back. It’s still dry and a little dark, as it always was. This vinyl is not super quiet - no ticks or pops but the overall noise, like tape hiss, is apparent, which is not the case on my earlier version. I’ve been discussing the 40th with my brother who’s a Rush enthusiast. He thinks the 40th is the same master as the 2015 DMM. This sounds better to me though even though the vinyl isn’t as quiet. Further exploration required. |
@reubent 40th Moving Pictures isn’t/wasn’t a Record Store Day title. There are plenty left. There are 3 (vinyl) versions. 1. the record 2. A 4&1/2 side package with excellent bonus material (live) and some swag. And 3, a super deluxe package with the records and seedees and extra souvenir type stuff. I bought the first 2. |
ok Tom but you probably just didn’t play it loud enough…
|
@reubent +1 how do you like your 40th compared to your original? |
Friday Music Montrose is good Better than the alternatives anyway. I also have a FM Billy Cobham “Spectrum “ that if memory serves is pretty good. The important thing is just to have these two records because the music is so exceptional.
