Kenny Dorham - Matador - Impex 

The Beatles - White Album - 50th reissue 

@reubent +1 on NMH - love that record

Grandaddy - Sophtware Slump on a Wooden Piano - so great 

Bill Evans - Morning Glory - RSD release - excellent 

Grant Green - The Latin Bit - Blue Note Tone Poet

Modest Mouse - Building Nothing out of Something 

Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About 

Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin - excellent 

 

Evening,

Yaz - Upstairs at Eric's - Mofi 

The Cars - Heartbeat City - Mofi 33rpm - this is easily the best sounding Cars album 

The Eagles - One of these Nights - Mofi One Step - I can't say I am a big Eagles guy but damn this record sounds fantastic! The vinyl is likely the most quiet I have heard. Completely dead silent and the SQ and soundstage are EXCELLENT

Bill Evans - Explorations - from the AP 45rpm box set - phenomenal 

Howdy, Y'all 

Bill Evans AP 45rpm box set arrived so it will consume my listening a bit

So far tonight:

New Jazz Explorations - phenomenal 

Waltz For Debbie - same 

Everyone Digs Bill Evans - never sounded so good 

Portait in Jazz - might do a cage match shoot out with the One Step to see who reigns Supreme 

Dylan - Blonde on Blonde - Mofi 45rpm

Doors - Morrison Hotel - AP 45rpm

The Beatles - Abbey Road - 50th anniversary reissue - hot damn this is a great sounding record 

Black Country New Road - For the First Time - interesting band interesting album

David & David - Boomtown - excellent O/P - been a while since I listened to this one 

Miles Davis - AP UHQR 45rpm - staggeringly good

Kenny Burrell - Bluesy Burrell - AP 33rpm - incredible, SQ and recording are PHENOMENAL - highest recommendation 

@spiritofradio that is great to hear, I am going to ask VMP to replace this copy and hope that copy #2 comes out like yours. It is a really great record. I saw Lyle a number of times around this record going back to Pontiac. Would really love to have some excellent reissues of all of them. 

After a couple of spins in the Degritter this pressing of Lonesome Crowded West is significantly better than the previous version. Happy, as this is one of my favorite albums of the last 30 years 

@slaw true, this copy of Joshua Judges Ruth has to be returned, disc 1 is warped like crazy and side 1 of disc 2 has a pressing flaw almost through the entire side. On a good note, the SQ is very good 

Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West - giving the VMP pressing a shot as the previous reissue had poor quality noisy vinyl and mediocre SQ 

Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth - VMP 

Bill Evans - Symbiosis - 

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things - 45rpm Pallas pressing - excellent 

Hey, @slaw didn't see your question until now. ​​​​​​

Still loving the new table and cart, the table is dead quiet but still lively in a good way. The Purple Heart is stellar. Big full soundstage but lots of detail. Zero complaints 

Dire Straits - S/T - Mofi 45rpm - perfect 

Dean Martin - Dream with Dean - AP 45rpm - ridiculous 

I think every time I play this Eels album I am blown away with how good it is and how great it sounds 

Bill Evans - Top of the Gate - RSD

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti - early pressing

Eels -  beautiful freak 

Chris Isaak - Heart Shaped World - RSD issue - holy f#&@ this thing sounds KILLER! 

Howdy gents, 

Lynryrd Skynyrd - Gold & Platinum - weird mastering job

James Taylor - Sweet Baby James - early pressing - excellent 

Herbie Hancock - My Point of View - Tone Poet - outstanding! Best Tone Poet ever? 

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters - AP 33rpm - phenomenal 

Joe Pass - For Django - Tone Poet - beautiful - Tone Poets are some, if not the best value in records 

Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About 

Thanks, @boxer12 ​​​​@slaw ​​​​​​.

Long week, I am going to try to stay long enough for a few records. 

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Couldn't Stand the Weather - Mofi One Step 

Art Blakey - In My Prime

Radiohead - KidAmnesiac 

Art Pepper - And the Rhythm Section - Craft Mono release - man this is such a great sounding record, Philly Joe Jones' drums just sound ridiculously great and totally in your face 

Colter Wall - Songs of the Plains - excellent 

Paul Simon - There goes Rhymin Simon 

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go - AP 45rpm - pretty sure this bests the RSD version by a good amount 

The Cars - S/T - Mofi - OK, Elliot Easton easily the most underrated guitar player of all time. The guy is utterly brilliant. Brilliant I say 

Willie Nelson - Yesterday's Wine - Speakers Corner - hot damn I love Willie Nelson and Speakers Corner - killer pressing 

AL DeMiola - Saturday in San Francisco - Impex - maybe better than Friday Night? 

Steely Dan - Two Against Nature - AP 45rpm - I will have to do a shootout at some point with my RSD release but this one is killer. If only their whole catalog was recorded half as well as this record. Stupid good recording 

Carol King - Tapestry - Mofi - people can bitch but hot damn this is a GREAT sounding record 

@sbank I need that Kenny Burrell, was hoping to find it locally but maybe I will have to order a copy.
