@reubent

I had recommended (privately) "Revelation Road" to someone a few weeks ago.

Right now, my pink label Capricorn, Allman Brothers "Live @ Fillmore East".

I think I’m gonna finish listening to The Clash "Sandinista!" original EU pressing I started the other week.
Looks like great stuff over the past several days! ELO was my band back in the day; still love listening to Face the Music.... tonight I’m spinning the Gerry Mulligan Sextet Emarcy recordings box from Mosaic— great ”beginning of summer” jazz!
While cleaning records at lunchtime today, I pulled an LP out of the Way Back bin and took a spin. Here it is......

The Edgar Winter Group - "They Only Come Out at Night"

This is a hand-me-down from my sister who bought it new when it came out in 1972. It's been through many, many house parties, moves, musty basements and has been generally mis-handled and neglected. Regardless, after 30 rotations in the Spin-Clean, it sounds OK, with some pops, clicks and background noise. Still I enjoyed it immensely, if for nothing else, the shear nostalgia.......

I thought "Frankenstein" was da bomb back in the day. And I still enjoy it......
I was at the record store today as well & bought a few used ones. Starting out with Mick Fleetwood / The visitor. I had Elvis Costello's "Trust" in my hand but the overall cost was getting to high so I put it back. Next time...
Went to the LRS today and pickup up the following:

Brandi Carlise - "by the way, I forgive you" (new)
Father John Misty - "God's Favorite Customer" (brand new, released yesterday)
Electric Light Orchestra - "Ole' ELO" (used)
Cheap Trick - "At Budokan" (used promo)
Shelby Lynne - "Revelation Road" (used)
Willie Nelson - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (used)
Elvis Costello - "Trust" (used)
The Who - "It's Hard" (used)

Starting the night with the Brandi Carlise. 

The above was/is a very early Classic Records release on 150gr.

Proud to own IT!
@reubent.

I know this admission was painful. But, honesty trumps everything, IMO.

You’ve heard of "night and day" comparisons? Well, this is one of them.

Have an early Christmas dude! Wait for the 25% @ SSD.

(you recently posted that you own the Counting Crows LP/45rpm/ August & Everything After.
A $50 + lp


$50 for (one) lp. With the TP box, you get multiple lps, that are over and above the originals in terms of SQ.

You’ll thank me later.

Cheers!
@slaw - Sad to say, but I do not own a single Tom Petty record. I like TP a lot, just never got on the bandwagon. Where should I start if I don't want to spend $200 for the box set? Or should I just put the box set on my Christmas list?
The first lp from the TP box....

Fantastic!!!

No need to compare it to my original.....at all. This one, absolutely blows away my original pressing.
@ reubent,

Thank you! I did not mean to put you or a couple others into that group.

"losers" maybe somewhat harsh but, at the very least, there’s a lack of vision.

Peace, brother.

Joan as Police Woman "The Deep Field"
Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks Vol 6 sides E & F.

Currently cleaning the first two lps in the early Tom Petty box set. I waited to get mine, hopefully it won't suffer from being the 2nd press. I got it for a hair under $200, which makes me happy.
Zebra "S/T" If you don’t have this lp, you need to get it. If you do have this lp, you need to play it. It sounds fantastic!



(I've NEVER seen/read) ANYONE from the other thread, posting here at all...or if at all, with any passion.
The Prince lp from the last RSD.

Me thinks, I'll just post here from now on instead of the other thread...

No love there at all!
Hey  @Reubent,

Ever noticed how, when anyone mentions NY, there come several others later???? He's such a cross-generationally great artist!

I have in my lap, a NY Official Release Series Discs 8.5-12. (Yet to be cleaned and listened to). Always a good thing to have great music that waits you.!

Been here for a while. I bought it at 55% off several months ago. Just like the N Y & Bluenote Café" Excellent!


Neil Young - "After the Gold Rush" - Neil Young Archives Official Release Series
Rare Earth - "Live" The original one in the classic backpack album cover. One of the coolest record covers - ever! And a great record.........
I really enjoyed the PF, much more than I thought I would.


Now, Youngbloods "Rock Festival", this is a better looking copy than I had. Hopefully, it will prove to be a better sounding/quieter copy as well?

Currently cleaning...Fairport Convention "Chronicles". A great set!
Although I rarely listen, I'm putting on my original MFSL Pink Floyd "DSOTM", that has just gone through my latest cleaning method.
I had my doubts when I ordered the RSB lp, upon listening, I'm glad to say it is a darn good record. Nice sonics and a real party atmosphere. Recommended!
Maybe it’s the Holiday?????

I’m now listening to Royal Southern Brotherhood "Don’t Look Back" Devon Allman, Gregg’s son. Interesting, probably only to me, is that the cover art is very similar to Bad Company "Burn in' Sky".


Sinatra - Songs for Swinging Lovers. 

I love Nelson Riddle. Not sure how to describe it but I feel Nelson arranges like Mozart would have done if he were alive and arranging big band jazz/pop. Classic call and repeat phrasing with slight variations.
@slaw - I'm with you. Seems you and I are nearly alone, trying to keep this thread alive. And its odd, considering how popular vinyl has gotten.

So, where did everybody go? Over to the "what's playing on your system today?" thread?
@reubent ,

I meant remarking on our current listening experience.

If we're this far off in our understanding, well...…………..
