Orion Records 1981?

Dolby System 

The Violin sounds quite good but the piano certainly does not.  Sort of strange and unfortunate to hear.  

Jan Garbarek - “Dis”

w Ralph Towner

ECM 1977

Got a bunch of new lps in this week...…... starting out with:

Caroline Spence "Mint Condition"

The Caroline Spence lp was very warped. It’s going into the ORB and will be perfect next time I see it.

( I just now saw the irony in the above..."Mint Condition" / the lp is warped.????

Cher "3614 Jackson Highway" ROG/dbl vinyl/one lp mono

Keith Jarrett - “Sun Bear Concerts”
(Excerpts)

Pat Metheny-“First Circle”

On the Cher lp…. I bought it partly because Sonny & Cher were part of my growing up and I never heard this record before. In addition, the address, is that of the famous Muscle Shoals studio. There is a lot of historical significance in that for me.

On "I Walk On Guilded Splinters"...... listening to Cher sing it, I swear she sounds quite a lot like Joan Osborne. Cher’s voice here is much deeper than the current Cher. I think I like her voice better here.

Finished side one which is in stereo. SQ = EX.

Led Zeppelin-“In Through The Out Door” (“D” Sleeve - Monarch Pressing)

The mono lp of Cher sounds good to me through my Sussurro w/ mono switch engaged.
…………………………..
Mercury Rev  "Bobby Gentry's  The Delta Sweete Revisted"

Hey @jamesclarke,

What does the "D" sleeve refer to on the LZ?

I have been looking forward to hearing the Mercury Rev lp. Wasn't quite sure of what to expect though. The SQ = EX with major atmospherics/air.
As a piece of music/art, I'd say it has to be on a best of 2019 list.

Putting on the Caroline Spence lp now.

"Mint Condition" exceeded any expectation I had. It deserves a double WOW!!. Highly Recommended!!

Dave Alvin "King of California" was up next.  Needed to be flattened so my flow is interrupted. Anyway, it is the 25th Anniversary/1st time on vinyl.
I'm sure it's gonna be great.

In the meantime, here's some great listening....
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks  "S/T"

Got another hour of waiting on the DA so,....Kris Kristofferson "The Austin Sessions"  2016/re-mastered

Side one is really nice so far. Taking me 15 minutes to write this cause I’m listening to the sweetness.

+ on the Wishbone Ash, Dave Mason, Father John Misty, Hess Golden Messenger & Mercury Rev.  

@slaw 

ITTOD was issued in the beginning with about 6 different (A-F?) sleeves but all inside a relatively plain brown wrapper so you couldn’t tell which one was inside before you bought it.  The sleeves varied by a little (angle of swipe of transparency across a photo filter ) to a lot (position from which the photo was taken in a strange cluttered mythological pub).  There may be other differences known to collectors (like objects moved around or in and out of the different photos). I only have the one version.  By the way, “Fool in the Rain” is a lifelong favorite. (I live in Portland...)
