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.
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.
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.
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.
.....from last week....re-listening to "Young in My Head" by Starflyer 59.
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.
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.
Ray Brown "Soular Energy"  Pure Audiophile/dbl lp

Evaluating an old/new interconnect,... more later.

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.
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.
Please let me know what your impressions are of the 45rpm ’El Camino".
Paul McCartney "Red Rose Speedway" the latest re-mastered/expanded edition/2017/18?
............................................
@reubent

According to my (cleaning notes), I bought this one in 2017. Time sure does fly by...............
@uberwaltz,

You need to get "The Wind"
..................................
I find you’re mentioning "Rough Mix" as a reference, disturbing.
Rush "A Farewell to Kings" OP. Not one I’m intimately familiar with. "Closer to the Heart" was a radio hit back in the day. The first few chords are eerily similar to "2112".

This lp is sounding so good. Wondering why I never put in my quere.
@uber,

What "antique mall" did you visit? I’m in N.C.

Regarding "Rough Mix"...I own the Classic Records lp. Comparing it to a domestic version, the Classic loses, easily. I’d love to hear a UK pressing.
