I found a MINT copy of this LP a few weeks ago which didn’t break my monthly vinyl budget (much) and have been playing it a LOT.

My son, a multi-instrument musician and drummer (ahem) has also given a listen on several occasions despite it being “antique music.”

Here’s power.

 

A MINT match to the Saturday Night show I’ve had for years. 1961.

 

 

Recently watched a documentary on Brian Eno on Amazon streaming so I’ started going through my collection of Eno and others.

Last night was “Cluster and Eno” and “After the Heat” for starters… another dozen or so to go…


 

Emerson, Lake & Palmer https://a.co/d/5kYiush

Wasn’t until I got it in my hands I realized it was cut from digital sources not studio tapes (aren’t they all these days?). Still, fifty years (more) since I played a cassette tape of this recording to death (loaned it to a girlfriend and never saw it again), it sounds pretty good.

Started out with Little Feat.

Electrif Lycanthrope, then Waiting for Columbus.

Something or other got my attention in a riff and I wound up playing The first half of Explosions in the Sky's "Those who tell the truth shall die... those who tell the truth shall live forever."

On THAT theme, I then played Fripp & Eno's No Pussyfooting, side 1, "Heavenly Music Corporation."

 

Loving this new tonearm/cartridge combo (SME V and Benz Micro Glider SL).

 

Tomorrow, Rammstein.

Finally got around to washing out that bit of dust/crackle from the volume pot on my ADCOM GFP-565 so, after reassembly I played David Bowie’s “Station to Station,” a recent acquisition and perennial favorite going back to high school days (1976?).

 

Jethro Tull:
