Hey @bkeske,
You have a lp cleaner? |
|
Jackson Browne "The Pretender" MFSL
What a wonderful artist! |
Just remembered Rick Ocasek passed away. |
Just finished Aerosmith "Rocks" Legacy
Now...Gregg Allman ""Southern Blood" |
Up next, a freshly cleaned, brand new......
Khruangbin "Mordechai" |
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. |
Invest is the proper phrase.

David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name" 50th
|
David Rawlings "Poor David's Almanack" Outstanding! |
@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.
|
Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile "Lotta Sea Lice"
I initially pre-ordered this lp. Then it took me 4 listens to feel like I could recommend it. Now....I just don’t understand that. Well, forgot that I've made significant sonic improvements to my system that will account for what I'm hearing now. Obviously, it’s not only a great record , but a great sounding record. Going to see her in July!

Welcome @bur70,
…………………………………………..
Listening to Tom Petty suddenly makes the world seem right again.
|
Up next:
My RSD Crosby,Stills,Nash &Young "4-Way Street" expanded and re-mastered. I think @tomic601, has it. Anyone else heard it yet?
Interesting that, this title was THE one lp I tried from Tom Port as a Hot Stamper years ago, thinking it would be hard to find a clean copy. Glad to have a chance now to measure the difference....
From just the initial sounds...this RSD version is vastly superior! No _hit!
|
Red House Painters "Song for a Blue Guitar" (freshly cleaned)
This is such a great record. I hope those of you who don't own it will check it out. |
uber,
It's really a great record...a great debut! |
@boxer12,
Send it to me. I have soft spot in my heart for needy vinyl. |
@uberwaltz,
As far as SQ, I have no problems with it. I can certainly hear Foghat coming through on several tunes. In that regard I like "Lookin’ In" much better for it has more of a unique sound. It does have one stand-out, IMO, "My Love’s Lying Down". Hell yeah! I wish I would had known about this band in my impressionable years.
Upon closer inspection, it was made in USA, mastered at Sterling Sound, it is the heavy vinyl that some were of that period w/ blue London label, has a period inner sleeve.
|
Up next:
Lowell George "thanks I'll eat it here" This record has been recommended to me in the past by a couple of friends. I have never heard it and never actively searched for it. Today, it just appeared before me, sealed. I grabbed it.
|
@noromance ,
The SQ is absolutely wonderful! My copy was as close to perfect as you get these days. |
|
When I hear the original way this concert happened...Wow!. it just makes this music So much more special. I have sides 5+6 left to go. |
@reubent ,
Your regimen of purging your records seems logical and one I may adopt at some point. Being single doesn't inspire such an undertaking.
