Zaikesman, I picked up "Sandy" and listening now - a gorgeous album (and a great recording to boot). Nice call!
Earlier,
Richard & Linda Thompson - Pour Down Like Silver (arrived from eBay this afternoon) |
Nice ones, Zaikesman! I'll take a look for "Sandy." I also just ordered a copy of "Pour Down Like Silver" (my personal favorite Richard/Linda album - actually my personal favorite Thompson recording, period).
Can any of the classical fans out there recommend one or two LP's to get me started? I have a beginners interest, and have a snumber of high-res digital recordings (Mozart, Haydn, Mahler, Beethoven) but zero vinyl, and don't know where to start.
On rotation this morning:

Thanks, Rushton. I'll have a look! |

And I just got my Grateful Dead LP reissue set (yay) - listening to American Beauty now. I'll leave the rest until the weekend, I think. |
Lots of interesting stuff here, Z/E.
I've been slow of late, work and all that. Also heading to New Orleans for a little vacation soon, so been listening to a lot of Nola music (very little of which I have on vinyl, so...).
Seeing Richard Thompson tomorrow night though (with his electric band - never seen his in this format before). So now listening to his new one (Dream Attic). After this, it'll be Pour Down Like Silver.
Oh and some vino, you know, just because... |
Back from vacation, from which I need a vacation (and a diet!), and found these in my mailbox (won't get to listen to them until Friday or Saturday though - grrr, work and all that!):

I'm on the lookout for Galactic's "Ruckus" as well. |

Heath Brothers - Passin' Thru
Heath Brothers - Brothers & Others
Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Skull F*ck)
All 3, original pressings (with Brothers & Others still in shrink). Gonna be a fun night! |
Just went through The Wall (new acquisition to replace the horribly scratched version I bought when I was a kid). Sounds excellent!
Now, Rod Stewert - Never A Dull Moment. |
Mink DeVille - Return to Magenta, Cabretta
Allman Brothers - Idlewild South
And some Dogfish Head 90min IPA - not a bad Thursday night! |
Picked up today:

David Byrne/Brian Eno - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
Gram Parsons - Return Of The Grievous Angel
Okkervil River - I Am Very Far (actually got this mid-week) |

Muddy Waters - Country Blues
Miles - Kind of Blue (yesterday, on my headphone rig - first time hooking up my TT to it, def not the last time!) |
I just got the 2 LP, 45 RPM pressing of Fleetwood Mac, Rumors. I'd read so much about it but frankly, it sounds lifeless and sterile to me. Am I the only one? I have an original pressing of the album lying around somewhere - I'll have to A/B later. But this really isn't doing anything for me, for $45. |
New (old) acquisitions:
Joe Cocker - Joe Cocker
Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat
Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street
The Byrds - Mr. Tambourine Man
I'm in the mood for some Ray Charles - that's my "hunt" for the w/e! |
That's a great box set! Although I had to by mine myself... my wife thinks I'm nuts/overly OCD when it comes to music!
To wit, my before-bed listen (and new acquisition):
Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'echafaud |
Art Blakey / Moanin'
