"88 Basie Street" is awesome! I love this type of music and I lucked up on a sealed copy recently, (I had to pay up for it). Worth every penny. Exceptional in every way. Very close in SQ to the D2D Harry James. |
Leonard Cohen "You Want it Darker" Woah!!! Haven’t listened to this lp in over a year and man, does it get better with system improvements..... |
Mark Kozelek & Jimmy Lavalle "Perils From the Sea"
my last one for 24 hours |
The above set is so spectacular! |
Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds" EX SQ |
Blood Sweat & Tears "MFSL" UD1S
|
Up next,
Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain" promo/ "Blueprint" WLP |
@ tedag,
Interesting that you mentioned Rory Gallagher, I just got in a sealed WLP copy of "Blueprint".
......................................................................................
Gonna finish up "Perils From the Sea". |
Based upon listening to just one side of "Stay Around", it strikes me as still yet fully formed. It just doesn't have the ultimate Cale SQ, structure, & vibe I'm use to hearing. |
|
You will not be disappointed. |
Rory's guitar is still smokin' on "Against the Grain", WOW.
In a while, J J Cale "Stay Around" his postumus 2019 release of previously unreleased material. |
"Attack & Release" ain't bad at all. Missing lowest bass info, surprisingly. |
Side 2 of the J J Cale lp had to be flattened so up next in the rotation..
Starflyer 59 "Young in my Head" 2019 |
The Starflyer lp was sounding somewhat lacking the soul I normally hear when listening to their earlier efforts. I decided to put up two more Vicoustics, one on each side of the one I previously put up in the center, back wall. Well, that brought the soul back for sure, with no other deleterious effects. More listening is required. |
Welcome @gjroddy,
Nice record.
|
All the talk about The Black Keys on another thread, got me hyped up to re-clean & re-listen to a few. "Attack & Release" is up now. |
"Turn Blue"...SQ = EX, vinyl quality under par/pressed off-center. |
Nirvana "Unplugged in New York" SV/SQ EX |
Nirvana ""Unplugged in New York" US domestic/white vinyl/SQ EX....slightly more open/dynamic than the SV issue. Enough that I noticed. |
again, getting ahead of myself.....Kris Kristofferson "This Old Road" was going to be up next, needed flattening. |
The Black Keys "El Camino" 45rpm version |
John Prine "The Tree of Forgiveness’
..."fry me some pork chops
And forgive my sin". |
"This Old Road"...Kris is never discussed here. Why?, I don’t know because he/his songs were part of several generations. He was most recently on the latest Rosanne Cash lp. He won’t be around much longer...glad I have a document. |
|
Caroline Spence "Mint Condition" |
.....from last week....re-listening to "Young in My Head" by Starflyer 59. |
|
The Runaways "S/T" ...a very enjoyable & rockin' 8.5 |
Hiss Golden Messenger "Poor Moon" |
Just got these titles in...hope to listen to most this weekend.
Buddy & Julie Miller "Breakdown on 29th Ave. South"
Of Monsters and Men "Fever Dream"
The Runaways "S/T" UMG/Sundazed/2019
Nick Waterhouse "S'T"/2019
Calexico "Feast of Wire"
Doug MacLeod "Exactly Like This" RR/1/2 speed/45 rpm |
"Feast of Wire" is sounding Sooooo Goooood. My first time hearing it and it's already close to my favorite Calexico lp. I have made changes in my room acoustics that may account for it. My system is sounding the best ever. |
The Doobie Brothers "Cycles" |
Ted Nugent "Free For All" WLP..... need I say more? |
Gene Clark "White Light" Intervention/ a beautiful record and a beautiful sounding record. |
The Doobie Brothers "S/T" OP .....their long forgotten lp. This one was gifted and I brought it to M-. |
|
Nice ones @reubent . I bought several of PM (from the vault re-mastered lps) from Insound a while back @ 60% off and have not been disappointed. |
@reubent ,
"Monolith" is such a great lp! Just finished my complete regimen on it, including flattening. |
|
Angus & Julia Stone "Snow" |
Ray Brown "Soular Energy" Pure Audiophile/dbl lp
Evaluating an old/new interconnect,... more later.
|
Peter Frampton "I'm In You" |
Nick Waterhouse "S/T" SQ = EX |
finishing up Father John Misty album, had to be flattened
BTW James, this lp is outstanding!!
|
Of Monsters & Men "Fever Dream" SQ = EX! Soundstage is full, wide and airy. Almost borderless....as usual. |
Neil Young & Crazy Horse "Ragged Glory" OP/EU |
Of Monsters & Men "Fever Dream" ...again |
Kansas "Monolith"
Played it last weekend and decided to go another round. One of my all time favorite bands.
@bdp24, IMO, some nice drum work on "How My Soul Cries Out For You". |
" Lazy Dynamite"...it speaks to the brilliance of an artist to make a song with this title... engrossing and enjoyable. |
