I love Jason & I love his wife. Actually, I had thought about listening to their stuff...yet I forgot.

Hey @jamesclarke
Just finished Aerosmith "Rocks"  Legacy

Now...Gregg Allman ""Southern Blood"
The Band "Music From Big Pink" 2018/Capitol/45 rpm

I’m not a The Band expert. I know Eric is out there reading this. I have no other lp for comparison besides a well worn pp I got for .50 cents.

Frankly, I would never have paid much attention to The Band if it wasn’t for Eric’s posts. So, I thank him for that!

Listening now, I get the (greatness), I understand the way they were ahead of their time.

So...as far as SQ goes, I wonder how they achieved the fantastic SQ I’m hearing.?

50 years on, this sounds fresh. Far better than I'd ever imagined.



@bkeske,

As much as you listen, you'd be wise to invest in  good cleaner.
Jim,
I sent my "Live" Teskey Brothers lp back as it was defective. Looking forward to a nice replacement.
@uberwaltz & @reubent ,

I use to play "White City" quite a lot back in the day. I need to pull it out again. I thought the last time I played it I wasn’t impressed with the SQ. I believe mine is a music club issue. I do have music club lps that sound wonderful. I need to investigate......……...no matter the SQ, it is a great record!

I went out of town to visit family and had to stop by their LRS on the way home. I had planned on just buying one lp, well, you all know how that goes:

Chris Rea "Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?" sealed/1978/OP/cut-out/no bar code.
Lowell George "thanks, I’ll eat it here" sealed/1979/OP/no bar code.
Bruce Cockburn "The Trouble With Normal" sealed/1983/OP
Savoy Brown "Boogie Brothers" pretty sure it’s a OP/London Records/1974/no bar code.
Atlanta Rhythm Section "A Rock and Roll Alternative" 1976/OP/no bar code
$42.00 total. Not bad seeing that most were sealed.

Got these in as well:
JJ Cale "Live" Because Music/first time on vinyl.
Johnathan Wilson "Fanfare"
Steven Wilson "Home Invasion in Concert @ The Royal Albert Hall" box


Halfway through "Fanfare". Yes! There are many words written in the liner notes describing the effort made and equipment used for this all analog recording. It sure is a joy to hear the end result. Besides just hearing the difference, being able to turn the volume up as high as I want without any sort of reason to want to turn the volume back down....this is all too rare. Love it!
It's interesting to me that most, if not all of the new posters to this thread that have very few posts, choose to make their initial posts on a music thread. That's great because music is what it's all about! Keep em' coming!
"A Rock @ Roll Alternative" gets to be first up

Welcome @nicks25.
After listening to Side one, I'd bet this issue would blow away any copy Tom Port has.
"here's a song that's guaranteed to bring you down....It's called "Don't let it Bring You Down" ...it sort of starts out slow,...then fizzles out, all together"......Neil Young
That's cool @tomic601 

Up next, Johnathan Wilson "Fanfare" . This is a recent lp, from this decade I think. I've been a fan upon first hearing his "Gentle Spirit" lp. I never kept up with most of his output. I've been trying to correct that mistake. His records are recorded all analog as far as I know.
The LG lp is fantastic! I’m sure you all already know. SQ = EX!

@livin_262002  Welcome.
"Fanfare" is such a wonderful record. Highly recommended!

Gonna pull out sides 5+6 of Tom Petty "American Treasure" next...
@uberwaltz,

The ARS lp sounds fine. I feel like it’s a little tipped up and lacks some soul compared to my MFSL "Champagne Jam". I’d highly recommend that lp to you, for SQ and since as far as used MFSL lps go, it usually can be found for around $25.00.

Up next is Savoy Brown "Boogie Brothers"(M-). I’ve never heard this one but I got a great deal on it. At record shows, SB lps usually start at no less than $25.00.
