Maria McKee - High Dive (save your money and stream it if you're a fan)

 

The Roches - Keep On Doing   

the worst record including Fripp, Bruford and Levin. I could have almost bought something at Dollar Tree with that $0.99!

Various – History Of British Blues Volume One (Sire 1973)

A hall of fame compilation of sorts

@reubent 

I hope you also have Robbie Robertson – How To Become Clairvoyant. Every song is really good. Similar Lanois-ish  vibe and "and features performances from
Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Tom Morello, Robert Randolph & Trent Reznor"

Chabrier, Ansermet, L'Orchestre De La Suisse Romande – Orchestral Music
Label:    London Records

@tomic601 fedex lost my Doors, Mingus Black Saint, Nathan Davis Live & Andrew Hill Passing Ships 😡

@slaw +1

@slaw @femoore12 I listened closely to Local Hero. My pressing is very quiet with good timbre, but the sounstage is small totally between and behind the speakers. The mix highlights that dated 80s keyboard that I associate w/Kenny Loggins, Phil Collins, etc. On Fremer's scale, I rate it 6.5-Music, 7.0-Sound and won't be volunteering to play for anyone, IF I ever can have visitors again 😱.

Count Basie - Basie Jam and Basie Jam Vol.2  (Pablo)

IMHO, the '70s Pablos jazz live LPs are one of the best value finds, usually $3-5 in you local bins.

Pablo Casals / Marlboro Orch - Pablo Casals Conducts Bach - Brandenburg Concerti (Columbia 2eye)

Ottorino Respighi - The Pines ... The Fountains Of Rome (Japan RCA red seal)

Arriving tomorrow...damn you, @tomic601

Welcome @crispytoast! First post and you already mentioned a couple of the best sounding demo LPs I've ever heard.

@bkeske 

Nice music/listening list

Brian, you've inspired me to dig deeper & more frequently into my modest classical collection, thank you.

For any of you Elvis Costello fans (I'm referring mostly to you @big_greg  😁), that EC record I played earlier tonight - "Momofuku" is pretty darn good, considering almost no one has ever heard of it... Check it out via streaming if you have any interest in Elvis Costello. It's a 2008 release, that was first released on 2XLP vinyl and as a digital download, then later released on CD.

It's a rocker, with The Imposters and guests, 

All you Jenny Lewis fans...she's on a bunch of tracks here(Jonathan Rice & Farmer Dave appear too)
