Uncbare, got her on again right now!!
Following her with Steely Dan "Aja", then The Yes Album. Good night, Mojitos instead of red wine though, the 6 months of summer started in April here in Houston. It's a chilly 94 with 87% umiditity right now....... |
My sister in laws neighbor just gave me her old record collection. Many seem to never have been played:
The Eagles Greatest Hits 71 -75
The Judds (great recording)
Journey - Escape
The Police - Ghost in the Machine
There's a lot more, and a lot of it is crap, but after cleaning these, there are no pops, no scratches, nothing. It's a good Friday. |
Green Day "Twenty First Century Breakdown"
Melody Gardot "My One and Only Thrill"
there has been some good music this year!
Oh yeah and a new Rhino pressing of "Machine Head" that took months to recieve, sublime record |
The Eagles - Hotel California
Black Sabatth - Paranoid
The Beatles - Rubber Soul |
Oh and I can't forget:
Depeche Mode - Violator
I was a big fan in the 80's and thought that their music would sound very dated, very quickly because it had such a distinctively "80's" sound. I was dead wrong. Great album, still sound great. My kids think it's humpin. |
This is my favorite post ever on here. It should have it's own website!! I love to read what everyone is listening to, it gives me a lot of goof ideas.
Tonight:
Led Zeppelin - "Mothership" it's the mother-load of Led Zep recordings.

I am breaking the rules and listening to digital tonight with the trick or treaters coming around.
The Bryston DAC is stellar, not analog mind you, but it does sound good. In fact I hate to admit, but the Norah Jones vinyl version I have of Come Away with Me does not sound as good as the digital file through my DAC.
I hate to admit it, but this is really convenient. |

And a variety of Beethoween and Mozart from some great old records a friend brought over where her father is either the Concertmaster or Soloist. Very cool. |
New Norah Jones - it's OK, I don't remember the title if that says anything
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood, sublime
Areatha Franklin - Live at the Filmore East
The Producers - You Make the Heat (very guilty pleasure)
Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings |
Last week I was at the local record store and browsing though the "newly arrived" used records and something made me check out a particularly bad looking Dark Side Of the Moon.
I think it was the fact that they were asking $30 bucks for an album that had a terrible cover, I thought it was a mistake, but it wasn't.
When I took the record out, I realized it was first pressing from 1973, and even though it was dusty, it looked amost new. I played it on in the store, and it sounded fine, but I knew I wouldn't really to be able to tell if it was noisy or not until I got home, cleaned it Walker/VPI 16.5, and it's just sublime. Much less noisy than any of the 3 "new" copies I have tried this year.
It does sound different from the new pressings, it's more open and extended, not at warm. Not better or worse, just different.
What a find. |
Al Green - Greatest Hits
Led Zeppenlin - II (unopened, green Mexican pressing from '81, pretty cool), IV (orginal '71 pressing, in great shape after a 3rd cleaning)
Cassandra Wilson - Loverly
Radiohead - Pablo Honey, new but with a significant warp, thank God for the periphery ring.
Tears for Fears - Seeds of Love (like new), Songs from the Big Chair
Badfinger - Straight Up, not a great copy, but hard to find a good one
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Shelby Lynne - Just a Little Lovin (one of my all time Fav's) |
Philb7777,
I must admit that after reading your post, in response to my admission to listening to the Producers, I went to the garage and grabbed the following albums, steam/Walker Solutions, cleaned them then had a very guilty '80's listening session:
The Power Station
Duran Duran - Rio
The Outfield - Play Deep
The Fixx - Reach the Beach
ahh, it feels good to get that off my chest, I've been feeling so guilty. |
INXS - Kick (found an unopened one)
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (found an orig pressing, that's pristine)
The Beatles - A Hard Days Night (mono) |
Buddy Holly Complete Boxed Set -
Sublime find, I didn't even know I was a fan. What a great compilation, and it's in absolutely mint condition. I must say though, that the water from the record cleaning machine after I was done cleaning these was the dirtiest I have ever seen. I never really knew how great Buddy was, or how many of his songs are now standards. I have to say, this is going to be in the rotation heavily from now on.
Roy Orbinson - Greatest Hits MoFi
Kind of keeping up a theme here, MoFi did a great job with this, the songs reall sound stellar, and man what a voice. |
Thats's the exact set I found, you are 100% right about it, it's great!!
6 sublime LP's, these don't look like they ever saw a needle. |
Rush, that's not the set I have, I just read through the whole thing again, thx for the idea though, i will look for that now. |
The Pixies - Doolittle (MFSL)
The Pretenders - The Singles

I'm shocked at how great it sounds. I thought that all of the tracks, or most, were digitally recorded, so I didn't expect that much, but the record is fantastic.
Plus, I really love Foo Fighters anyway, so.... |

The Beatles - Beatles Forever (Hey Jude) another sublime Japanese pressing. It was worth the money.
Frank Sinatra - Live in Paris (MFSL) my first Frank on vinyl, a great place to start

I loved Inglorious Basterds! Christopher Waltz steals the movie, and I am shocked by how good Diane Kruger is in that movie, she's great, as well as the beautiful French actress who plays the theater owner.
I need to rent that again, my wife didn't want to see it because of the violence, but I know the movie well enough to zip through the parts she will gross out at. |
Billy Holliday - Lady Day

Les Miserables - Original London Cast Recording |
Audiofeil, I mistyped, it is 1979. Thanks for being the hall monitor. |
S-R-WoTen, I know, I love MFSL stuff and that is a great album. I'm not happy about it, I should have returned it when I first got it, but didn't get around to it then.
Too late now. |
MFSL - Beatles Box
I know some of the record afficiandos don't love this set, but to me it's sublime. I have wanted one since buying my first MFSL Beatle album, and I finally bit the bullet, bid up and got one for what I feel was a great price.
I couldn't be happier, the vinyl is in sublime shape.
No, it's not the Japanese mono versions, which I have heard a few of recently, but I still think they are stellar.
An all Beatles weekend is in store. |
Richard, it's a Rhino reissue. It sounds great, I'm 99% sure it is not a digitized remaster. It does not sound that way, nor does is say that anywhere. It is a huge imporvement over the nasty, surface noise vinyl from my 80's copy of this album. |
