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

I do a lot of napping lately, and it is difficult to get out of my listening chair every 20 minutes or so to flip the disc. The new Eye in the Sky 45rpm Mofi showed up Thursday, but I've only managed to get through disc 1 so far. I'll finish that one shortly and then on deck:

Steely Dan-The Royal Scam 1976 ABC

 

Just arrived and spinning….building upon my jazz LP collection…

Wynton Marsalis - S/T. Columbia 1982

Dave Brubeck - Time Out - AP 33rpm - excellent 

Ben Webster - Gentle Ben - AP 45rpm 

Hank Mobley - Curtain Call - Blue Note TP - excellent 

@sbank thanks a bunch, Sir

It is a pretty phenomenal combo with the 12" Tonearm. Everything pairs up extremely well. Really happy so far and worth the delta between this and my last table 

@6t5-gto congrats, lovely table and fantastic cartridge!

@mammothguy54 Joel, the "Buildings/Food" remaster is worthwhile IMHO

These nights are becoming few and far between. Streaming mostly but every now and then, when time (and energy) permits,... so have a son living in LA who's in the music business. Last time I was out there he turned me on to Cali Creamin' a blond beer by Mother Earth Brewery with hints of vanilla - it's just fantastic. Anyway, picked up a couple sixers when he was home after a show in NYC earlier this month. Did a deep dive into the remaining few last night while sorting my LP selections. Stated off with My Morning Jacket "It Still Moves" very nice then slipped into Reed Foehl, "Once An Ocean" can't remember where or when I bought this, but it's thoroughly enjoyable and another terrific lesser known Boston artist. Finished in the way back machine with The Stones "Sticky Fingers" - Moonlight Mile, favorite Stones tune! 

U2 / Boy
1980 Island

The first and last U2 album with decent sonics, imo. Saw them play this on tour in a Portland tavern back in the day for 92¢, a radio station promo. Distant memories…

Steve, I agree. "Nervous Night" is an excellent pop/rock record. Loving it, since 1985!

Hey Steve! I had the cd for years and finally bought the vinyl a couple of years ago. Still love it after all these years.

You all reminded me that I had them (Talking Heads) in my mind for this weekend.

Thanks, @mammothguy54  so far I am happy as a pig in poop

I need to get that pressing of Speaking in Tongues. I collected T-Heads stuff for a number of years and my 2 O/P of Speaking in Tongues are not great sounding pressings. I will look for that pressing.

Always bummed me how much they rolled off the low end on More Buildings and a number of their other albums. 

@6t5-gto

That is a bad-a$$ turntable.  Enjoy it immensely, in good health.

 

Talking Heads  -  More Songs About Buildings and Food   An original copy, from 1978.  Really lacking in the low frequency range, but otherwise plenty of good imaging and staging.  Excellent music!

Talking Heads  -  Speaking In Tongues   Reissue from a few years ago, remastered at Sterling Sound and pressed in Germany.  Outstanding album and a superior mastering/pressing/vinyl grade.  Really great SQ! 

Jeff Beck  -  Blow By Blow   AP/QRP 45rpm issue.  Jeff Beck at his very best.

 

Yep, Loved my C-sharp. Sold it to a great friend. This one is just that much better in a few areas. No regrets. It is gorgeous 

Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna - RSD release 

Modern Jazz Quartet w/New York Chamber Symphony - Three Windows. Atlantic Jazz 1987

Ok, so another EAT huh? That says you're impressed with your other one?

@slaw hey, sorry, lots going on at the house and keep getting pulled away.

I got a Forte S by European Audio Team (EAT) and put a Kiseki Purple Heart on it. It sounds phenomenal and still have break in to do on the cart
