The SQ on the above EP is Ex! I will play the studio lp in a little while.
Bob Seger "Beautiful Loser" OP/orange label/Capitol, I pulled this out last night (this morning actually) and laid down, and succumbed to sleep.

"Beautiful Loser" is such an excellent record. It should be in everyone's collection. |

How one feels or one's mindset is an important part of one's enjoyment of music.

Ian Hunter "You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic" (CHR 1219) ... this is a dirty copy I picked up at my local record store, Recycle Music, for $4.99 ... yeah, I need to clean it, but man, the mastering and pressing is quality. |

Also better the second time through.......

Patty Griffin "1000 Kisses" re-listen
Patty Griffin "S/T" ...….. later
|
Just echoing here what others have said about the Patty Griffin "S/T" lp.
It's a wonderful record!
|
Tedeschi/Trucks Band "High & Mighty" RSD/4 song EP/45rpm oh yeah...turn it up! |
Getting ready to start into the Tom Petty "American Treasure" box I recently found as a 2018 RSD issue. I've only made it through the first (2) lps of Anthology. A lotta listening ahead...………….. |
Well, if the 1st lp from "American Treasure" is any indication of what is yet to come, I’m a very happy camper!.
Going by my musical memory, it's rivaling the first studio box.
|
Too old to Rock n Roll, Too Young to Die .... Jethro Tull.
Could not match Reubent 15c buys but our LRS was at least having a 50% off sale so the $1 bins gave me a few 50 cent buys.
Including this one and a few Jackson Browne and Gordon Lightfoot albums |
I've listened to the first two lps from "American Treasure". I can confidently say...if you're a fan still sitting on the fence trying to decide if you should get the 1st or 2nd box sets, or even the "Anthology", get "American Treasure"! You'll not be disappointed. |
Digging deep back into Songs:Ohia (Love & Work) "The Lioness Sessions"...……….the second lp . |
Summertime Dreams ... Gordon Lightfoot. |
@uberwaltz,
I'm trying to understand. You have a great system. You've invested in a great vinyl playback.
You seem to want to "cheep out" on the source of your investment. IE: bargain bin lps. I understand the motive, I understand your intent...but IMO, it doesn't make sense. Could you convince me why?
|
Honestly Slaw you REALLY need to see and hear some of my bargain bin buys.
Seriously I can tell a lot of how it’s going to sound mostly by looks and sure I have got it wrong a few times,nobody is perfect.
But the vast majority I have bought hardly need more than a cursory wipe to play and sound excellent.
I have zero interest really in purchasing remasters or speciality label issues.
Never tried 45rpm album releases but getting up every 20 to 25 minutes to change sides is already tiresome enough at times ... Lol.
Maybe I am missing out but I also feel like I am " rescuing " precious gems from the scrap heap.
I am very happy with my mix of bargain buys and near mint issues but most are original releases.
Oh trust me the bargain bins do contain a LOT of junk that is only fit to make ash trays and modern art!
Maybe you never heard me talk of my Magnum collection where each one was close to $100 each as only released on German labels and not imported here.
I spend when I have/need to but in the meantime I really enjoy the albums my LRS throws in its bargain bins, usually the same quality other shops charge $5 or more for.
That may give you a bit of an insight into my mindset.
If still think I am off kilter so be it, I am happy and I am the only one who counts!
😎😎😎😎 |
Low Budget .... The Kinks.
This one has truly killer SQ, I am very impressed. |
Uberwaltz,
I emphatically agree with you! I love hitting the flea markets for dollar finds. I learn a lot about music, and definitely take more risks at that price point. Just today I got some reggae, jazz, soca, rap, Springsteen and Sinatra at a storage unit sale. Forty-three records for $43 and a whole lot of stuff to talk to my new Jamaican DJ nephew about. And all they need is a quick cleaning before they go on the turntable.
|
We all got quirks....
@slaw did I gush yet about scoring seats for Patty Griffin at Belly Up tavern in Solana beach ???! Omg I am stoked
also was wondering when you would spin the 45 rpm RSD Tedeschi Trucks - imo better than Signs
a sonic stunner, has the high frequency extension missing off Signs
BTW Sirens of the Ditch has kick A kick drum grunt
this record will tell ya lots about slam on the very first cut |
Jerry Douglas - Skip, Hop & Wobble
a truely great player, caught him live at The Orange Peel in Ashevile....dig that venue for sure...
