Francis A and Edward K Equinox Boston Violation Year of the Cat Equinox it turns out was mastered by the great Doug Sax at then called Mastering Labs, later known as The Mastering Lab. As far as I can tell this may be the first time my young ears were introduced to his work. The best of my three pressings reveals his trademark sonic signature even that far back. Lorelei, damn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srEP-vvhTvY |
Uh, Violation, it occurs to me some may not be familiar with ... rock and roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFa0fg2FWDg |
Thanks to @reubent I arrived home from a business trip to a stack of new vinyl from insound. 11 new records for 90 something bucks, not too bad. Kinda late so I only got to try one side so I put on side 2 of Son Volt - Live at the Bottom Line Interesting mix, kinda missing bottom end but good SQ. Odd, they don't list Eric Heywood, the pedal steel player from the Jayhawks, who played on the first 3 Son Volt records on the credits but he is definitely on this live show. I saw two shows from this tour and he played both but I wonder why he got left out. This is the SV lineup I liked the most. @reubent thanks again for the heads up on insound! |
@slaw I saw that SV is coming out with a new one soon. I need to give it a spin. I got mad at Jay when he totally changed the band after Wide Swing. Eric Heywood’s solo on Hanging Blue Side makes the hair on my neck and arms stand up every time, it is AWESOME. and I love his work on the first two records as well. I just never could figure out why he would have split up a band that good. The Boquist bros are awesome. @tomic601 there are a lot of Son Volt fans on this forum. Trace is one of my favorite collection of songs of all time. Thanks for jumping in. Tonight- Rest of this Son Volt live, it sounds more like a bootleg, side 1 is pretty rough (SQ) and unfortunately the record is a bit warped |
Okay off-topic (technically this was last night)- Year of the Cat - just On the Border. Love that one. Rhythm of the Saints - the first of 3 Side two's I will play tonight where the SQ on that side is so much better you can't believe it. Mel Torme Swings Shubert Alley - The Velvet Fog in his prime. Gives The Voice a run for his money, and then some. Fleetwood Mac - The White Hot Stamper. Only the 2nd time I have played this. Was frankly on the fence ready to send it back for a refund. Can any pressing really be worth $300?? After Side 1: Well, yeah, maybe. After Track 1 Side 2: Okay, yeah, I guess. After Track 2 (Landslide): Well, I'll be damned if it isn't a bargain! Nothing gonna top that. Not tonight anyway. Swirl the last of the cab, drink it down, tenderly tuck the Mac back in, off to bed. Happy dreams. Got that White Hot Stamper in The Room. |
@tomic601, I tried to acquire all of Son Volt on vinyl last year. I think I still need one. I really like Melody. Lucinda Williams, well, what can you say? ………………………………. I noticed your interest on the Primal Scream thread this week. I ordered the vinyl and now have it. I’m going to put it on next. ………………………………. @6t5-gto, I own the Son Volt "Live @ the Bottom Line". I remember really liking it. I do need to revisit it as I’ve made several improvements since. |
Primal Scream "The Original Memphis Sessions" I admit I’ve never listened to Primal Scream before. So when I read @maxnewid thread regarding this lost lp, I was intrigued. It comes on lp as a dbl/180 gr. There are 9 songs spread over two lps, so it just makes sense from that aspect it is a 45rpm record. Having never heard PS and looking at the lp before hearing it, I had unrealistically high expectations. It turns out to be a very fine sounding record. I think I had hoped for a little deeper bass, but this was from my never before hearing PS and comparing it in my mind, to other 45rpm rock records I own. This is one that sounds good at any volume level and I’m sure upon more listens, I’ll enjoy hearing it more & more. |
