@mammothguy54 Bernie Grundman mastered 4. What I like about Tim Weisberg is his music is difficult to categorize. Was it rock/jazz/folk or just some type of new fusion? I even detect (pre) new age? |
@dayglow I have a few other Tim Weisberg albums and they are all really great sonics. I saw him perform at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, back in 1979. Small venue, about 350 people, and a wonderful show. |
@mammothguy54 +1 Splendido Hotel and for being the first to post in over 10 hours here! |
Earl Klugh-Crazy For You Side 2 Yes-Yesshows Side 2 Johnathan Edwards-ST Side 2 SQ Audiophile Teddy Pendergrass-Love Language Side 2 Three Dog Night-Seven Separate Fools(Probe UK) Side 1 Cedar Walton-Eastern Rebellion(repress) Side B SQ Audiophile Tim Weisberg 4-Side 1 SQ Audiophile BTO-ST Side 1 Was not planning a vinyl night it just happened. Weisberg 4 gets the SQ crown due to being more liquid(organic) then Eastern Rebellion and more relaxed then Edwards but all 3 have solid Audiophile SQ. BTO SQ was OK but the upper treble was MIA. Seven Separate Fools what a great discovery for me, since I only knew some of the Top 40 songs when I was in grade school. Midnight Runaway might be my favorite song from them.

The Police - Outlandos d' Amour It didn't take me long to play this one. Great album, darn good sonics. Al Di Meola - Splendido Hotel Al surely is a great guitarist! Kenny Burrell with Coleman Hawkins - Bluesey Burrell AP/QRP issue. I still find it hard to believe how much excellent sound was made in recording studios so many years ago. And AP gets these master tapes and gets every bit of information out of them. Excellent mastering, plating, and stamping. Excellent music! |
Agreed. I love that kind of pop rock. Solid hook. Makes me sing, really loud... |
thin white rope, "exploring the axis"--you hear a bit of velvet underground and krautrock influence, but this is mostly very unique-sounding fountains of wayne, s/t--this sort of clever-pop can sound smarmy in the wrong hands (i.e. weezer), but these guys do it really well, with big hooks and a great guitar sound. "radiation vibe" is incredible. roy loney, "out after dark"--ex flamin groovie runs out of steam a bit on side 2, but side 1 is as tough a rockabillyish set as you'll ever hear |
@reubent Only digital Tom. Wish I had the records. ******* ******** ********* The Best Of The Count Basie Big Band (Pablo) Mendelssohn - A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Maag/LSO/ORG) |
David Gray - "Mutineers" I like David Gray. I've had "White Ladder" in my semi-regular rotation for 20 years and bought the anniversary deluxe box-set when it came out last year. However, after listening to "Mutineers" more lately, I think I prefer "Mutineers" over the classic "White Ladder". Any of you guys have either of these albums? |
@big_greg +1 on Art 🌶 @dayglow +1 on Casino 🎰
Joan Shelley - The Spur Skúli Sverrisson • Bill Frisell - Strata Secret Machines - Now Here is Nowhere Covet - technicolor Franz Schubert - Streichquintett C-dur (Amadeus/Pleeth)

Count Basie - Basie Jam #2 Count Basie - Basie Jam #3 I have Basie Jam (the first of this 3 series album set) and like it so much that I bought the other two, which just arrived. They are all wonderful, but I think that I am quickly placing #3 as the best of them. Excellent performance and really good sonics. Highly recommended. |
England Dan & John Ford Coley-Dowdy Ferry Road Side 1 Nielsen-Symphony No.4(Karajan DS 2532 029) Side 1 + 2 SQ Audiophile CCR-Cosmo's Factory Side 2 Angela Bofill-Something About You Side 2 Al Di Meola-Casino Side 2 SQ Audiophile Ulrich Schnauss-A Long Way To Fall Side A Survivor-Vital Signs Side 1 Paul McCartney-Band On The Run Side 1 SQ Audiophile Every recording had above average SQ tonight. I will give Casino the slight edge over BOTR since my Di Meola copy is mint but my OP McCartney is VG. Need to find a better OP copy. Dowdy Ferry Road might fill the dollar bins but it's a near Audiophile SQ recording with top level songwriting. Survivor is somewhat of a nostalgic recording for me and my wife she still loves the songs and I was obsessed with the woman in the "High On You" video, can't blame a kid at 19. |
