"A Woman in Love" (it’s not me)

@dhawks3001,

I remembered after my post that I had recently auditioned some of "Out of These Blues" a couple weeks ago and wasn't moved enough to buy. That's not to say I would not like it if I heard it in my system. Boz has a surprisingly large catalog. I did really like Ashley and put that one in my Wish List. Thanks.

Flaming Lips "At War With the Mystics"
.sounded so good, I put on Lp 2

Up next....Michael Nesmith & The First National Band Redux Live at the Troubadour" (2018)
I’m really, really behind in cleaning/listening to new (to me) music. Guess what, UPS just arrived...Yey!

………………………………………
Led Zeppelin "How The West Was Won" (LP 1)
To dismiss Michael Nesmith would leave you out of a very good time! The SQ on this dbl/lp is very, very good.

Neil Young "Silver & Gold" OP/Germany
Alejandro Escovedo  "Big Station"
Death Cab For Cutie "Thank You For Today".

I’ve been looking forward to hearing this lp since it’s announcement. Playing track one now, it is sounding very good!

So far..it is exceeding my expectations. I love it when that happens!
One more thought...I own a lot of good sounding records. Every once in a while I take notice when there is something extra special going on... Listening to the latest lp pressing of "Harvest Moon" strikes me this way. There just seems to be a perfect balance to this superbly recorded lp. Highly recommended!
Neil Young "Harvest Moon" ...the latest dbl/lp. I own the OP/UK, it’ll be interesting to hear if there is any significant difference. The last time I heard my OP, I felt like it was somewhat thin or bright and edgy. 

I've heard the first 3 tracks now on the latest pressing and the air, the space is pretty remarkable. I'm getting no sense of the negative attributes of my OP.
Son Volt "On Chant And Strum" (had to listen again, great lp!)
Bob Dylan "In Concert/Brandeis University 1963"
Regarding these new 45rpm pressings that are retail @ $100.00.

I’m glad the technology exists for a sonically superior pressing! What bothers me is that, if the market shows an interest, the cost of great pressings will go up.

Can anyone who owns one of these pressings remark? Are they (on-centered)? Do they have no dishes or warps or washboards? For $100.00 they should be more than perfect!

Steely Dan "Everything Must Go"



Michael Nesmith "Pretty Much Your Standard Ranch Stash"   OP/M
Buddy Holly & The Crickets ""S/T"    Jap/mono/30th Anniversary
Robin Trower "Twice Removed From Yesterday"

……………………………….

Thanks @boxer12
@6t5-gto,

Hi. Is this pressing (Simon & Garfunkel) worth the $130.00 I’d have to pay for it now?
I thought Buddy Holly had passed? I hear him clear as a bell in my listening room right now. This pressing is pretty remarkable.
I re-listened to these:

Courtney Barnett "Tell Me How You Really Feel"
Andrew Bird "Are You Serious"
Death Cab For Cutie "Thank You For Today"

up next:

Kelly Hogan "I Like to Keep Myself in Pain"
( I wish her side project... The Jody Grind would be released on vinyl.)
I meant to thank @folkfreak & @6t5-gto, for their responses to my earlier question.

I need to re-listen to my Simon & Garfunkel "BOTW" copy I bought years ago from Better Records. As I recall, it wasn’t labeled as a Hot Stamper, but a recommended pressing from Holland.

Welcome @jdub071

……………………………………………

Giant Sand "Blackout"
Gonna start off with an oldie but goodie...

Blue Oyster Cult  "Fire of Unknown Origin"
Amanda Shires (latest) "To The Sunset" /nice SQ
June Tabor and The Oyster Band  "Freedom & Rain" /a Linn Selekt Record on Cooking Vinyl
a little change-up...…
Flaming Lips "Once Beyond Hopelessness" /from the box set

afterwards...

gonna start the 3lp set.. Rolling Stones (from the vault) "Live: San Jose '99"
Gonna re-listen to the new Amanda Shires lp after putting it through my flattener. She has an unusual voice. I’ve always liked her, even before I knew she was Jason Isbell’s wife.....

I'm sure this artist isn't for everyone, but I find a place in my head for her. After flattening the lp, it seems to have greater continuity, I like it even better now. Side 2 up next.
Getting ready to put on:

Gregg Allman  "Laid Back"  …/APO/THE BEST EVER!

Paul McCartney & Wings "Band on the Run" Abbey Road re-master.....Excellent SQ!
Howe Gelb "Future Standards". Excellent SQ!

I’ve been a fan of his for a while. The title gives away the content. Similar to Glen Frey’s "After Hours" which I also enjoyed and has excellent SQ as well.

I’m pretty sure most of HG’s records are recorded to tape in his home studio.

………………………………………………..

Other Lives "Rituals"
Chris Cornell "Euphoria Mourning"

(It’s hard to believe all of the artists that have passed in the last couple of years.)

Pink Floyd  "DSOTM"  /2016 re-master
Noah Gundersen ""White Noise""
Hiss Golden Messenger"  "Lateness of Dancers"
I re-listened to several from yesterday.

Beck "Colors" dbl/lp 45rpm. (Got it at over 60% off)
