@sbank Please tell us about the Prokofiev/ New York Ensemble of the Philharmonic scholarship winners. 

James, It's a nice chamber performance, something I hadn't heard any others by Prokofieff. Side 1 is all quintet: clarinet, oboe & strings. Side2 is piano/clarinet(common in Jewish folk music--Klezmer, etc) and violin on track1, followed by a piece for string quartet, woodwinds & french horn. While it's up & down on pace, most of this is minor key, moody stuff; some of it reminds me of the Borodin/ Shostakovich String Quartet LP that gets many raves. 

Unfortunately, my pressing is a bit noisy and having plenty of quiet passages, I was wishing for a better copy. 

This album is a blast. T-heads fans don't miss out...

Good sh*t!

Every time I think you're out, you pull me back in. Can't file it away

Tom Waits – Small Change

The dB's – Repercussion (Albion UK, mastered by Ted Jensen)

@jerryg123 

Jenny Lewis. My daughter toured with her….

We need to know more, please.

Kudos to you. Verifiable proof of great parenting!

 The Motels – Careful. (first listen; LRS purchase based on chatter here) 

@dredison 

More Songs...Six months later played it again and the switch went 'click'. One of my favourite albums of all time

Great story! Same thing happened for me with Tom Waits and Lyle Lovett. Maybe it's progress.

Talking Heads – More Songs About Buildings And Food (Rhino Remastered by Joe Gastwirt) IF memory serves, sounds better than the partied-out OG copy that I lost or mis-filed. Always loved this album; certainly no "sophomore slump" here!

Marco Fornaciari, Laura Palmieri, Robert Schumann – Sonate Für Violine Und Klavier Nr. 2 - Nr. 1 (Fonè)

Catching up w/ some recent additions...

Kacey Musgraves – Star-Crossed (thanks for the gift @nicks25!)

The Delfonics – Tell Me This Is A Dream (Philly Groove Records Reissue)

Jan Garbarek Group – Wayfarer (ECM) 

Bach/Stokowski – Bach • Stokowski (Capitol Mono)

Jean Sibelius - Berliner Philharmoniker · Herbert von Karajan – Finlandia · Valse Triste · Der Schwan Von Tuonela • Tapiola (DG-Germany)

@bkeske You raise many great points! 

I certainly don't mean "2nd tier" in terms of talent or accomplishment...maybe a better way to put it is if we're talking course content, with Bach & Beethoven explored in 101, I'm meandering my way thru 201. Particularly partial to the Russian Romantics orchestral works, Chopin & Liszt piano works, 

Not yet registered for 301 - Vaughn Williams, more Scandinavian composers?

                                   401 - Japanese composers, more 20th Century composers? 

@spiritofradio Thanks, James. Added Freedom Flight to my wantlist.

Once again...

Robert Palmer – Some People Can Do What They Like

@mammothguy54 Joel, yeah @bkeske has got me looking to widen my classical collection too, especially to more of the composers with 2nd tier familiarity for novices like me. Maybe I'll start another thread just on such suggestions? Everybody knows you need a copy of Bach Cello Suites and Pictures at an Exhibition, but thankfully friends pushed me to buy Bartok Concertos for Orch.,  Schumann's Carnaval and Carl Nielsen's 5th.  

Al Kooper Introduces Shuggie Otis – Kooper Session (Columbia)

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard – Eyes Like The Sky

Is this a "typical" Gizzard album? Bought it at LRS after seeing them recommended in many posts here. The word "torture" comes to mind. 

Sir Douglas Quintet – Border Wave.   ahhh, all is well again.

The White Stripes – My Sister Thanks You And I Thank You The White Stripes Greatest Hits (Third Man Records)

@boxer12 

@sbank How is the sound quality of "Grateful Dead – Olympia Theatre, Paris, France (5/3/72) (Rhino 5LPs)"?

Tim,

Compared to Europe '72, it's outstanding. I heard one of the Dead boxes released in the last few years ('77 era shows) that sound a bit better. I'd rate it

8/10 Sound

10/10 Music (this is supposedly one of the peak shows of the tour that led to Europe '72)

@big_greg 

now where's that order from Ukraine?

Russia?

Grateful Dead* – Olympia Theatre, Paris, France (5/3/72) (Rhino 5LPs)

King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard – Eyes Like The Sky

Charles Lloyd – Waves

Roy Hargrove, Mulgrew Miller – In Harmony

Joe Henderson – The State Of The Tenor (Live At The Village Vanguard Volume 1)
Blue Note Tone Poet Series

Can you tell when the workday ended?

@big_greg that was me, did you buy me one too?

@noromance sometimes I think we're First Aid Kits only fans. 

+1 on early Joe Jackson. All those albums stand up well over time through Body & Soul. He was great live then too. Saw him on the pier in NYC. Acapella Is She Really Going Out With Him encore...it doesn't get much better than that. 

I'm fortunate to have a mint test pressing of this. Stupendous!

@bkeske "Jerry at his best" indeed!

@bkeske you're doing it all wrong. You've got to put that album on then go listen from the bathroom down the hall; extra reverb masks the crappiness. Then go back to the sweet spot and play

I see 4 pressings of Fashion Nugget ’22. If you believe Hoffman thread, the US uncredited one is pressed at United(not good). I’m tempted to get the German pressed at Pallas even though more $ & time.

Discogs Fashion Nugget 2022

@big_greg 

Cake - Fashion Nugget. It's off center and skipped once so far Pretty disappointing.

Aww, man. I really wanted to get it.

@slaw made me do it

Hope you like the Big Star, @nicks25. If you do, their other classic "#1 Record" just came back in stock at some online stores. It wasn't available when I ordered yours or I might have picked that one instead. It's got my fav track of theirs, "Thirteen" and the theme from That 70's Show.
