@6t5-gt0, @reubent ,

An old friend who was responsible for getting me into the (high-end), turned me on to Allison Moyet. "Alf" is a hell of a record.
Welcome @skywachr,

Some nice finds there.

@reubent ,

Regarding The Teskey Brothers, the 7"single I am referring to is called "I Get Up". Two songs on it, the title song and "Say You’ll Do".

@6t5-gt0,

The best way for me to explain my lp cleaning method would be for you to go to one of the ultrasonic cleaning threads. I don’t recall the exact title of the thread at the moment. If I find it, I’ll post the title. Found it .. (Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning)

Kathleen Edwards "Back To Me"

Mellencamp was a great entertainer. I saw him open for Heart in the mid 70s. He is a damn good song-writer as well.
………………………………….
Courtney Barnett "Tell Me How You Really Feel"
My last lp for this day....Maria Taylor "In The Next Life", re-listening after a good flattening.


Later...……..

Chuck Prophet "Brother Aldo"

Fire Records/1990/EU 

This, my second listen is very positive. I always dug him. Never see others mentioning.

 I'm a Chuck Prophet programmed robot. How's that one Jim?

Actually, when I first heard this record, the song "Dolphins" was stuck in my head and happened to check into the original artist version. So happened Fred Neil sung it on the Soundtrack of Midnight Cowboy. I then had an original copy of that come out of nowhere. Now I own it. Quite enjoyable!
@6t5-gto,

I need to introduce you to the great Glen Hansard.

I'm going to put on one of his projects next... The Frames "Fitzcarraldo", Wow! Check that out!
@uberwaltz,

I don’t usually have time to listen through the week. I may put on one or two later.

Here's two lps I received in the mail this week that I'm looking forward to...…

Sarah Shook & The Disarmers "Years"
Crooked Still "Shaken by a Low Sound"
Starting out with one from last week, side 3 to warm things up.....

Maria Taylor "In The Next Life". Did I say last week how much I love this lp? 


Jeff Beck "Live +"
Sting "Mercury Falling" 1996/Re-Issue/EU/Universal....from my memory, it sounds very good. I believe the OP was on HP’s list.
@reubent,

It's very possible my friend. I gotta make up for my loss of listening through the week, you know.

BTW, the Jeff Beck lp above sounds fantastic!
"Mercury Falling" is a wonderful sounding record. I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned here by anyone but me, as long as I’ve been a member. Way overlooked. It should be in the top three, of Sting’s solo records.
……………………………..
ZZ Top "El Loco"


Going by my memory, I'm thinking a comparison may be in order to my OP/EU of this lp.?
Boston  "Third Stage". Damn good record. No one really talks about though?
Tom Petty "Into the Great Wide Open".....the last lp from the Volume 1 box.
My plan for the next few hours...……
The Joe Perry Project "Let the Music Do the Talking"
Roger Waters "The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking"
Dave Matthews "Live @ Red Rocks". This is an excellent sounding set!
………………………….
Hello @6t5-gto
Thanks @bdp24,

I'm still trying to digest @6t5-gto's last post. 

I'm trying to be helpful but sometimes I just don't know what to do?

@reubent ,

Interesting about the BOC lp. Did you look at the liner notes to see if it was recorded all at once in the same studio or maybe over time at different studios? On other threads lately, some have been asking if the same mastering engineer actually mastered both sides of a particular lp.

You are brave ordering from Romania my friend. Glad it worked out.
……………..
Just compared side 2 of TP "Into the Great Wide Open". My EU/no more than 120gr pressing out classed the 180 gr re-master in the Vol. 1 box. In a way I’m glad in that my musical memory is still working. This is the only lp out of that box that seemed less than...to me.

@bdp24,

I wanted to bring you in here because on the track "Built to Last" from the Tom Petty lp above. There is a bass drum being played. To me, it sounds like the sort of drum we would normally see in a high school band, hit by a damped drum stick. Can you hear it and tell me what kind of drum it is?



The Joe Perry lp is proving to be a darn good lp.

I think I'm going to put on The Firm's "S/T" lp now.


@reubent,

Check out Robert Finley "Goin' Platinum". You may like it!
@reubent ,

I love that era of Manfred Mann
…………………………

@6t5-gto,

Does this mean you may have to converse with me?
………………………
Richard Thompson "Mirror Blue"    EU pressing
@reubent ,

I think either way, time wise, it will equal out.
……………………
The Firm "S/T". Wow! ...a very good sounding lp. The immense soundstage is pretty remarkable for a rock record!
Robert Finley "Goin' Platinum"

Dan Auerbach (kind of) discovered him. No, just brought him more to the forefront. Another great artist. I hope you all check him out!
@6t5-gto,

I don’t know if you read through the thread I referred you to.....

What I’ve ended up with probably cost me $700.00. and it outperforms my Audio Desk. I’d call that a F...ing bargain!
……………..

I love Jackson Browne. I have a 12" 45rpm of that song. Sounds great! Having said that, while all of the JB lps I own sound very good, if you can find The Pretender" on MFSL. that is one great sounding record!

I ’ve been sittin’ here starin’ at a sealed copy of Jason Isbell

"Georgia Blue" )

RSD only

My friend Jim sent me. So beautiful, I hate to open it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul McCartney "Band on the Run"  Abbey Road 1/2 speed re-master/ SQ=EX!
John Mayall "Blues From Laurel Canyon" UK/OP/DECCA/ffss...stereo...a little noisy
@bdp24,

Thanks for getting back to me on that. My EU copy of "Into the Great Wide Open" lets me hear that much easier. The drum has more body, natural sounding.
…………………………………..
Frida "Something's Going On"
The Frida lp is enjoyable, has EX SQ.

Crooked Still "Shaken By a Low Sound". If you’re familiar with Aoife O’Donovan...this is her folk(?)/bluegrass band.
@reubent ,

I was thinking about that lp last weekend. I may have played it? Is yours a UK?
…………………………………….
John Mayer Trio "Try!" really, very good!
Hey 6t5-gto,

I think you're on the right track. I've posted on several threads regarding US cleaning. I mentioned the latest one for your pleasure.

Leonard Cohen "You Want It Darker" is ONE HELL OF A RECORD.
Playing The Watson Twins lp again that I mentioned recently. BTW, it's offered at (oldies).
Montrose "Warner Brothers Presents Montrose" OP

Going to continue with the box of Dave Matthews "Live @ Red Rocks" at some point this evening.
Putting on sides 3+4 of Dave Matthews "Live @ Red Rocks".

Great Sounding Record  My  Friends.
