Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1

those new Roxy Music reissues are pretty special!

Greg, I agree. Not just great sonics, but super quiet (at least my copy is) vinyl and a single disc at 33 1/3. I need to pick up some others while they’re available.

I agree about the new Roxy Music reissues, the two I have gotten are quite good.  My original Avalon is excellent.  But if anyone is able to compare an original with the new reissue, I am all ears.  Please let me know.

Roxy Music / Avalon
2022 Virgin half speed master by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk, orig. 1982

Dire Straits / Love Over Gold
1982 Warner Bros.

Outstanding album in every way. Impressive soundstage.

Joe Jackson / I’m The Man
1979 A&M

No kidding Joe, you’re the Man and you’re ‘in the room’ on this one.

Genesis - ...And Then There Were Three

1978 Atlantic Records

Good album but definitely a loss with Steve Hackett leaving the band.

I was really disappointed when Peter Gabriel went off on his own but I agree with the comments on A Trick Of The Tail. I didn’t know what to expect when it was released and was blown away  with how good it was then and still is. All four guys pulled together with some great song writing. 

 

Spencer, I sent you a message 

 

@tgilb +1 for Genesis 

 

Joel, I bought "Trick of the tail" back in the day & consider it the best post Gabriel Genesis album. Wonderful really. Glad you are enjoying your new speakers!

@mammothguy54 Chris & Tina know how to break in those woofers! Ya gotta follow it up with Remain in Light.

 

A Trick Of The Tail, now that is a great album.  I'll have to pull it out and play it.

I played some newer music and some very familiar music today as I am still understanding my new speakers.  So far, even though they are a long way from being fully broken in, they are sounding absolutely spectacular.  

Blue Stingrays  -  Surf-N-Burn   I learned of this one on this thread.  I don't have any surf music in my collection and really need to add some.  I need some Dick Dale, for certain.  This one is rather quite good.  This thread is a blessing for me.

Joni Mitchell  -  Blue   Jonis' voice has never sounded so good on my system.

Joni Mitchell  -  Don Juan's Reckless Daughter   This is a Japanese pressing and the vinyl is superb.  The sonics are out of this world.

Talking Heads  -  Speaking In Tongues  Reissue, German Pressing.  Excellent, so well done, the best sounding Talking Heads album I have.  And today was even better than ever.

Can't wait for tomorrow...

Genesis - Wind And Wuthering

1976 ATCO

Hadn’t played this one in a very long time. Great album prior to Genesis going more radio friendly. And while You're Own Special Way was a radio hit it really is a great song.

 

Neil Young - Tonight’s The Night

1975 Reprise Records 

Early pressing and it surprising still sounds great.

the new folk sound of terry callier 

exquisite record. filed in the "do not sell, ever" pile 


Fleetwood Mac / Heroes Are Hard To Find
1974 Warner Bros.

Not my favorite Mac album, songs and sonics aren’t up to par compared to their other efforts imo. Heroes and Come A Little Bit Closer keep me coming back. Weird album cover, don’t ya think?

Heart / Dreamboat Annie
1976 Mushroom Records

Nice album, really nice SQ.

Mary Chapin Carpenter / The Dirt And The Stars
2020 Lambent Light

Very enjoyable double album, not a fan of the clear vinyl though.
