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


Edie Brickell & New Bohemians / Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars
1988 Geffen

Nancy Wilson-Nancy Side 1

Vive La Marche!-Paul Paray(SR90211) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Pat Metheny-Bright Size Life Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Crowbar-The Serpent Only Lies Side 2

The Brothers Johnson-Blast Side 1

Renee Rosnes-Beloved Of The Sky Side B SQ*

Joan Armatrading-Track Record Side 1

Bonnie Raitt-Sweet Forgiveness Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Always tough to beat a Mercury Living Presence, gets the SQ crown. Yes, Crowbar had the worst SQ. Extreme metal might be best on CD. Have about a dozen more extreme metal titles to purchase, I will give them a chance on vinyl. SQ* I rarely give recommendations here since its so subjective, what I play/post is what I like. Renee Rosnes Beloved Of The Sky(2018) deserves a listen if your a jazz fan! "Nancy" had near audiophile SQ with great bass(Track 1) will listen to the entire recording. Metheny/Armatrading and Raitt has excellent SQ and content as expected.

I was slower on the draw than you, #3652 😎
Good to see The Vid didn’t slow you down much Steve.

My local audio buddy came over to mow my lawn today. 👌👌 

Well, he's more.... a true friend.

Rozhdestvensky conducts Prokofiev - The Stone Flower. Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra. Melodiya/Angel 1968

@spiritofradio  - Plaid Room lists their "damaged" selections on their website. No "Sweet Relief" listed... I'll keep looking, but fear I missed out.

Karajan conducts Prokofiev - Symphony No. 5 B-dur Op. 100. Berliner Philharmoniker. Deutsche Grammophon 1969, German release 
 

Charles Munch conducts Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto In E Minor, Opus 64 & Prokofiev - Violin Concerto In G Minor, Opus 63. Jascha Heifetz and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. RCA Red Seal reissue late 60’s, originally 1959.

Yeah, I have an OP Szell/ Cleveland Orchestra too.  Will look for that Ormandy.  

@reubent I’m sure you’ve checked the usual online sources - looks tough.  Called our LRS and they’re also out.   If you haven’t already, ask plaid room if they have a scratch and dent copy.  I’ve got a couple of RSD titles that way.  

@spiritofradio 

@bkeske That Mendelssohn one of my favorites.  I have 2 or 3 different versions including the film score from the Woody Allen movie (which is excellent).  Do you have a favorite version?

That is probably my favorite….that I have…James. It is also the most complete. Other versions I have are condensed snipits, including Szell/Cleveland.
 

 

@slaw glad to hear it Steve.

Thanks Brian! I tested positive on my third day of feeling bad. I think I went on an upswing after that 

WTH? Somehow I missed the RSD drop... again. If anyone happened to get an extra copy of "Sweet Relief", or know a source that still has one in stock at MSRP, please let me know. Don't want to pay the flipper prices on eBay.

Love this record, and bought it on CD when it was originally released. Would love to have it on vinyl.

Oh, and Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there...

Eugene Ormandy conducts Mendelssohn - A Midsummer Night's Dream. The Philadelphia Orchestra. RCA Red Seal 1977

Glad you’re feeling better Steve!
