@jamesclarke,
Your last post reminded me that I had planned on listening to "All The Roadrunning" on Friday.....as the saying goes....so much music, too little time.
|
BTW, the ORB record flattener is turning out to be a great (luxury) addition to my ongoing hobby. |
The Tesky Brothers - “Half Mile Harvest” |
@big_greg +1 on Moontan. Love that record.
|
@reubent ,
Before more time passes by, I was hoping you'd give a report on the Rare Earth, and the Concrete Blonde lps you picked up recently?
|
@jamesclarke,
Hey, I'd love to read your opinion on the SQ of "Half Mile Harvest"?
|
Boston "Don't Look Back" re-issue |

Georgia Brown - Sings Kurt Weill (London 1962)
So Kurt Weill wrote Alabama Song. Made famous by The Doors.
|
Teddy Wilson and his Trio - Mr. Wilson and Mr. Gershwin (Columbia 1959)
Piano, drums, bass, bowed bass. Speakeasy awesome. You can smell the smoke. Recorded in studio where everyone there came by to see and hear the magic so it has a live feel.
|
Savage Garden - To the Moon and Back |
@slaw It sounds really good to me. Hot mikes and vocal qualities like a rich old 45 made in the swelter of a Memphis summer evening. The guitar amps on this record sound like they have giant tubes filled with honey. I think the music and the sound quality are both quite wonderful and that it’s a successful, purposeful production in that respect.
But I don’t think that’s new information to many here. I guess the word is out to music lovers about this record and it’s sold out and become hard to buy. It’s really nice music but I think the production values have helped make it even more desirable. I think It’s a sound that most owners of good stereos are really excited by. Am I wrong?
|
@noromance I hope you found a glass of whiskey to go along with that... |
Opeth - “Blackwater Park” |
@tomic601
”Vandersteen’s House” sounds like a good name for a bluegrass band.

@slaw - Headed out of town for work for a couple of weeks. If I forget to reply about the Concrete Blonde and Rare Earth, hit me up again when I'm back posting.
I need to listen to both again to form an opinion. Was really tired the first time though and was half asleep.

Right now, the Specials. Next, King Edwards Ska-Volution. Not sure what I will be in the mood for after that. Maybe some Jazz. .
|
I’m reminiscing on musicals too old for me to have seen or heard live. Original pressing of Reprise Repertory Theatre. Sinatra, Crosby, Martin, Davis, Reynolds. Finian’s Rainbow, Guys and Dolls, Kiss Me Kate, South Pacific. 1960’s. They just don’t write ‘em or record ‘em like that. Call me corny,,,but I love ‘em! |
