Prince And The Revolution / Purple Rain

Still on the ‘phones, killer…

Steve Miller Band / Greatest Hits 1974-78
1978 Capitol 

One of the better ‘greatest hits’ albums, great content and high fidelity. Fun playing it with headphones.

EWF-All 'N All Side 2

Alicia De Larrocha(London CS 6733) Side 2

David Clayton Thomas-ST Side B

Julio Iglesias-1100 Bel Air Place Side 2

Ten Years After-R n’ R Music To The World Side 1

The Hanna-Fontanna Band-Live At Concord(CJ-11) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Neil Young-Silver & Gold Side 1

Three Dog Night-Hard Labor Side B

With only 1 Audiophile SQ level recording tells us were all prisoners to the recording and the power supplied to us. Maybe a Stromtank is something more of us should consider? With exception of Ten Years After(lack of treble) every recording was solid. Silver & Gold could be his last great recording(2000). Alicia De Larrocha stunning performance!

 

Well guys, I'm confident in saying the Audia Flight phono stage is superior in every way to my Trio. Used high end products are an excellent value 

Dawes "Misadventures of Doomscroller"

2022/Rounder

Man, these guys just fell off my radar. I bought their first lp when it came out and now, 10 years? later, they’ve really developed as a band now based on a recent show on the Circle network of Dawes performing. I’m thinking I’ve been missing out on some great music.

I still need to dig into my Big Joni box Joel. She’s got an upcoming Atlantic years box. I’m really getting behind!

The Babys  -  Broken Heart   I forgot how good this album is.  SQ is fair, music is great!

The Beach Boys  -  Surfer Girl  AP/QRP Inspired by bslon to bring this out to play.  Great album, outstanding job by Analog Productions.

Cowboy Junkies  -  The Trinity Session   AP/QRP This is an awesome sonic experience.  A few songs are OK, the rest is wonderful.  Sonics are fabulous!

Michael Hedges  -  Aerial Boundaries   Got this a few weeks ago, have had to play it several times.  Fabulous!!!

Joni Mitchell  -  Don Juan's Reckless Daughter    Japanese issue, excellent piece of vinyl.  Really a great album, musically. 

So far, the Tweedy lp is highly enjoyable. The lps are clear vinyl splattered with blue and so far very quiet and flat. The jacket is a high quality gatefold with attached booklet. Great deal if your a fan.

Jeff Tweedy "Warm & Warmer" 

dBpm/repress 

I ordered this at least one year ago. I had lost all hope 😕

Amanda Shires "Take it Like a Man"

again, had to stick it in the ORB 

I think this is her best solo album yet. I love it!

Just bought tickets to see John Moreland & Caroline Spence together in Sept.!

Finishing up, 

Beth Hart "Live at Royal Albert Hall" lp 3 

This title sounds fantastic! Highly recommended!

More arrivals,

Laura Veirs "Found Light"

Dawes "Misadventures of Doomscroller"

Jack White "Entering Heaven Alive"

"Fear of the Dawn"

Pino Palladino/Blake Mills "Notes With Attachments "

Eddie Vedder "Ukulele Songs"

Little Feat "Waiting for Columbus "

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers "The Big Beat"

Jeff Tweedy "Warm and Warmer"

Diana Krall "Love Scenes"

Roxy Music  -  Stranded   Just got this, one of the new reissues of the Roxy Music set of albums, done at Abbey Road Studios.  They go out on a limb and state "Remastered and CUT Half-Speed from the original 1/4" tapes" It's the word "cut" that is the difference from "sourced" regarding the actual chain in making the record.  If so, bravo!  What I can say is that it sounds really good.  And it's a very fair price, too.

DiMeola McLaughlin DeLucia  -  Saturday Night In San Francisco.  Impex really knows how to produce a high-quality record.  Mastering/plating/stamping and grade of vinyl are all top-flight.  The music on this album is superb and should be in everyone' collection, if you like acoustic guitar ensembles.  The sonics are absolutely jaw-dropping.  For this album, turn it up, and bring the stage into your home.

Outstanding SQ, noise-free vinyl by AP

@slaw 2010 I go see Spoon open for Arcade Fire; outdoor summer show,~sunset. Nobody knew them. First song...the whole crowd is talking. Second song...people are "hey check this one, shut up". 3rd song, "Don't You Evah", everybody's dancing and cheering like it was Zeppelin touring Zofo. Britt's energy totally infectious, undeterred, he wouldn't be stopped...a beautiful thing to watch.
