@slaw 

Nice haul Steve 👍🏼

From the same Korean box set:

Solti conducts Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra Op. 30. Original DECCA release

From my (one of two) unusual Korean box set ‘The Greatest Classical Music of The World’ “Jupiter” box.

Man, must be going around 😁

Kinda digging this Korean box set tonight. Another selection…

Masur conducts Bruch - Violin Concerto No. 1. Gewandhausorchester Leipzig
And

Rosenthal conducts Saint-Saëns - Violin Concerto No. 3. Orchestre Des Concerts Lamoureux.

Origional Philips release

Well, this stinks. ‘We’ lost power for about 2 1/2 hours, and had to start my last selection all over again after re-warm-up. 

And I was just thinking how well the power has stayed on during this brief little heat wave….oh well, sure sounds wonderful now…

Bob Weir-Heaven Help the Fool

I caught Bobby playing at a small bar in Tulsa OK (while traveling across the country, I saw a flyer about the show at a music store in town…had to go) right around the time that album came out. It was amazing seeing him at a small club.

it’s finally the weekend. Whew.

Eno - Before And After Science. Island 1977

The Modern Lovers - S/T. Beserkley reissue 1978, originally 1976

Talking Heads - Fear of Music. Sire 1979

@noromance  @tomic601 

Fear of Music, IMO, has probably ‘aged’ better than any of the Heads albums. And, well engineered too. Still  sounds great after all these years….wait…could probably say the same for 99.9% of my vinyl 😁

@noromance 

Brian playing his Bournemouth made me pull this Finlandia!

👍🏼 I tell ya, that box I got is really quite good. Many believe Paavo and Bournemouth may be the reference on Sibelius performances. Had been hunting for a good copy being sold in the US, and finally, got one.

I have a couple Karajan ‘takes’ on Sibelius in single LP form, and are always enjoyable as well.

Bernstein conducts Brahms - Serenade In A. New York Philharmonic. Columbia Masterworks 1968
 

@slaw

Fingured I could not go wrong with Wildflowers Steve. I have the CD, and it is a great album. I believe the first after his association, production, and influence of Lynne on the couple before. I love Jeff Lynne, and like those Petty albums as well, but without his influence, the real Tom Petty emerges.

IMO

@puffball08

++1 Ian Dury (RIP) and the Blockheads

That is still such a fun LP.

The Modern Lovers, when I heard it that album for first time in the mid-70’s, made me re-think my musical preferences (at the time a dedicated Dead Head hippy). They were way ahead of their time when you consider when the songs on that LP were first played (early 70’s). I took notice, and could not believe what I was hearing.

Joni Mitchell - Ladies Of The Canyon. Reprise reissue 1974, originally 1970

@slaw 

ahhhh…I see.

BTW, finally picked up a strobe, (‘cheapo’ Chinese one), so am finally putting that SOTA speed gauge you sent me long ago to use. Nice to have. Simpler to use than my phone app, and probably more accurate.

Is that the Mercury release Jim?
