The Jawhawks  "Sound of Lies" 2014 expanded edition, American/Universal
just from side one, I can tell you that this is not an audiophile recording. It's enjoyable but did not meet the hype I perceived.

Sadly, I’ll put off a full listening for a later date.
@bdp24 ,

Always great!, to hear from you. I don't remember when or where I picked up the MCH lp, but it's a (no bar code). 

The Lyle lp is/was a great listen!  I bought several of LL lps from a former friend for $4 bucks a piece, several years ago. ( A nice buy).

Thanks for the Miller info!!!
Patty Griffin "S/T" (2019) SQ = EX!
…….........…......…......…...…………..
In a little while...…….. the latest from Jim Lauderdale "From Another World". I have high expectations for this one given as how great "Time Flies" is.
REM "Out of Time"
…………………………………….
@bdp24,

I remember that scene in "Great Balls of Fire".
Dave Grusin "Discovered Again" Sheffield Labs Treasury/D2D

(this is the first audiophile lp I ever bought)
@jamesclarke,

Thanks buddy. I just bought myself a Father’s Day gift....lps of coarse! These will be shared with all of you.

The Jim Lauderdale lp is turning out to be a mighty fine lp.

Where’s @tomic601?
The mono lp of Cher sounds good to me through my Sussurro w/ mono switch engaged.
…………………………..
Mercury Rev  "Bobby Gentry's  The Delta Sweete Revisted"
On the Cher lp…. I bought it partly because Sonny & Cher were part of my growing up and I never heard this record before. In addition, the address, is that of the famous Muscle Shoals studio. There is a lot of historical significance in that for me.

On "I Walk On Guilded Splinters"...... listening to Cher sing it, I swear she sounds quite a lot like Joan Osborne. Cher’s voice here is much deeper than the current Cher. I think I like her voice better here.

Finished side one which is in stereo. SQ = EX.
@jamesclarke,

Almost there...………..buddy, you timed it very close.. Glad your still listening.


Got a bunch of new lps in this week...…... starting out with:

Caroline Spence "Mint Condition"
The Caroline Spence lp was very warped. It’s going into the ORB and will be perfect next time I see it.

( I just now saw the irony in the above..."Mint Condition" / the lp is warped.????

Cher "3614 Jackson Highway" ROG/dbl vinyl/one lp mono
I have been looking forward to hearing the Mercury Rev lp. Wasn't quite sure of what to expect though. The SQ = EX with major atmospherics/air.
As a piece of music/art, I'd say it has to be on a best of 2019 list.
Well, lp 2 of  Dave needs flattening as well...……...
……………………………...
in the meantime......
Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds"

Got another hour of waiting on the DA so,....Kris Kristofferson "The Austin Sessions"  2016/re-mastered
Finally, side 1 & 2 of Dave Alvin "King of California" in a few minutes.
"Mint Condition" exceeded any expectation I had. It deserves a double WOW!!. Highly Recommended!!
Jimi Hendrix "Rainbow Bridge …..."
………………...
@uberwaltz,

OK, I'll check it out.
Dave Alvin "King of California" was up next.  Needed to be flattened so my flow is interrupted. Anyway, it is the 25th Anniversary/1st time on vinyl.
I'm sure it's gonna be great.

In the meantime, here's some great listening....
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks  "S/T"
