Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs – Sunday Run Me Over (Transdreamer 2012)

The New Stan Getz Quartet Featuring Astrud Gilberto – Getz Au Go Go (Verve 1964) 

Should be in every collection. 

Hi Brian. @bkeske I've been lazy about posting in the thread. Today was a good session.

 

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

 

Kamasi Washington     "The Epic"    Brainfeeder BF 050

Brewer And Shipley   "Tarkio Road"  Kama Sutra  KSBS 2024

Karajan’s 1959 recording of Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben on DG’s Resonance label.
Stupendous sound and performance!

The just released Kim Gordon's "The Collective", Ozric Tentacles', "Strangetude"(try finding that on vinyl" and the closing scene from "Gotterdammerung "Solti/Vienna from the 1958-65 recording of the complete Ring, that I recently found unopened.  The significance of that is that I have only seen a couple of copies in my life that were in a reasonable condition.  But, to find the complete set with John Culshaw's hardbound book on the making of it, unopened is a record milestone find, tour de force for me. My Tenor friend who has this on his short great list of operas pretty much defecated in his pants.

Liszt-Sonata In B Minor/Agustin Anievas(S 36764) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

John Cougar Mellencamp-Scarecrow Side 1

Larry Vuckovich-City Sounds, Village Voices Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Klymaxx-ST Side 1

Emerson Lake & Palmer-Works Volume 1 Side 3 & 4 SQ*

4/7 recordings had not been previously played. Mr. Vuckovich takes the SQ crown with an overlooked 5* Jazz recording. ELP had near Audiophile SQ*. IMO Scarecrow gets better with age!

Hi @dayglow 

I don’t have the vinyl but how many total tracks are there? On Qobuz and Amazon there’s just 9. Is that the same?

Thanks.

BTW, Great Album!

@curiousjim    Larry Vuckovich-City Sounds, Village Voices(Palo Alto Jazz PA 8012) has 8 tracks(1982 release). Found my copy several years ago sealed for $10. Well worth seeking out on vinyl.

@curiousjim   Thanx for the kind words! Will be back on Friday with another obscure jazz recording with top level content and sound quality.

Bruce Hornsby And The Range-The Way It Is Side A

Barry White-Rhapsody In White Side 2 SQ*

Gordon Brisker Quintet-"About Charlie" Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Pat Travers-Makin' Magic Side 1

Harry Chapin-Heads & Tales Side Tales SQ Audiophile

Henri Lazarof-Sinfonietta(LR-133) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Steve Winwood-Back In The High Life Side 1 SQ*

Billy Joel-The Nylon Curtain Side 2 SQ*

With 3 Audiophile and 3 near misses(SQ*) makes for a very special night. Only Hornsby had SQ that diminished the excellent content. Lazarof had possible demo level SQ, would need to spin again but easily takes the SQ crown. Gordon Brisker is another great(overlooked) jazz album with 5* content and sound.
