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
I got my new (to me) JVC QL-Y66F turntable yesterday and set it up last night. I started up with a not so great copy of Lynryd Skynrd's Gold and Platinum and followed with AC/DC's Highway to Hell (also a bit beat up). Both records sounded better with a good bath on the VPI and the turntable sounds REALLY nice for what I paid for it and I love the way it looks. It's really sensitive to airborne vibrations and I'm going to try to do some damping on the plinth so that I can play it louder and clean up the bass.
Mary Gauthier "Rifles & Rosary Beads" finally out on vinyl. Yea!
I noticed that, while the lp came in a Quality Records anti-static inner sleeve, there are no identifying marks or in the liner notes of this record being pressed at QRP.
The MG lp is great in terms of song writing. The sonics are sadly one (half) notch below her other lps I own. That’s not to say I did not enjoy it. She has to be in the top ranks of female songwriters today.
Will have to give that MG album a whirl on Tidal first Slaw.
For now;
Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Live with Four Cellos.
Seriously you have to hear what noise 4 guys with cellos can make! Only other instrument is occasional drums. You have bass cello, rhythm cello and screaming lead cello!
