@slaw 

Gotta +1 you Brian on Eels!

Steve, never even streamed it, so a complete surprise. I like it. Much more of a 'full band' sound. May take a couple more listens, but this could become a favorite Eels album in my collection.

Rhiannon Giddens With Francesco Turrisi – There Is No Other (Nonesuch 2019)

Stunning album. Music, recording and vinyl. Recommended. 

Grand Funk - Closer to Home.  This copy isn't as nice as the one I played yesterday.

Steve, that's interesting.  I couldn't find what record of hers he played on,  It would be interesting to hear.  According to AllMusic Joe Walsh has 1,732 credits!

Gotta +1 you Brian on Eels!

 

 

Greg, I was reading somewhere that Joe Walsh played on a Donna Summers album. Cool! I know he was called to be a session musician at times 

Justin Hayward~John Lodge / Blue Jays
1975 Threshold

An album better than any Moody Blues effort by some Moody Blues guys.


The Byrds / The Byrds’ Greatest Hits
1967 CBS

Decent sonics, probably sounded best on a stereo ca.1967. “Chimes Of Freedom”, nice…

Yet another new arrival. Have not had this for ages…

Merl Sauders, Jerry Garcia, John Kahn, & Bill Vitt - Live at Keystone. Fantasy reissue  2LP 2012, originally 1973

Just arrived…should be working…but…1st of a wide range of new LP’s today

Pablo Casals & Rudolf Serkin : Beethoven - The Complete Cello Sonatas. 
All recorded at the Prades Festival except Sonata No. 2, recorded at the Casals Festival in Perpignan. 
Vinyl Passion Classical reissue 2LP set 2018. EU release. Originally released 1955.

I have most of these on original pressings/releases, but was attracted by getting new pressings with all these in a single set.

Bill, at first it was daunting, but I'm making good progress.  I've been putting all my new records into Discogs for the last 3 or 4 years, so I often hit big chunks of records that are already catalogued.  It's also fun to re-listen to things I haven't heard for a while, in some cases, probably not since I first bought them.  I will soon be moving into the Grateful Dead :)

+1 Closer To Home…”I’m Your Captain”, love that!

BTW Greg, impressive you’re staying on task A-Z cataloging. That’s challenging. Cheers!

@bslon    +1 Hall & Oates-Abandoned Luncheonette 5* recording.

@mammothguy54    +1 George Benson-In Flight will play on next vinyl night. Not sure about the daily recap but since there was a 36 hour period that no one posted could be the reason?

 

Grand Funk - Closer to Home

@bslon that’s a great record Bill. I have a number of copies of it.

Daryl Hall~John Oates / Abandoned Luncheonette 
1973 Atlantic

Back to vintage. Simply put, a fabulous record.

Jethro Tull / Thick As A Brick
2022 Parlophone 50th Anniversary RE

Half-speed master of Steven Wilson’s Stereo Remix. Arrived today, so far I’m pleased with the sound. His Aqualung remix was also well done, imo.

Elton John / Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
2014 Mercury 40th Anniversary RE

Remaster by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering from the original analog tapes. So good I almost enjoy Benny And The Jets now. 😁 Just kidding, Elton.
