That is a great Calexico album Steve. Thanks again!
Note: Check out "Travelall" & "Tool Box" from them when you have some time. Similar style, think you'll enjoy...
|
Recently got the Mark Knopfler box. So far, 3 titles in, Love it!!!
|
You're an excellent teaser.
|
My issue with the "Local Hero" from Abbey Road,
No soundstage spread at all.
|
Great to hear, Sir
Working too much and not listening nearly enough but breaking in a new table and cart
|
gwenifer raymond - strange lights over garth mountain
gwenifer plays acoustic guitar (sometimes banjo - check out her version of idumea on youtube) in the john fahey style and she absolutely rips. heavy and zoned out cosmic plucking. this is her newer album but everything she’s put out has been good

Trigger Hippy "S/T"

If you're like me, even at my age, when the music hits me, I bolt straight up and play air guitar;

A comparison is in order.

|
@boxer12 ,
Seek out the Calexico lp. Wonderful!!!
|
the bobby hamilton quintet unlimited - dream queen
not usually a RSD release guy but this reissue was a must have in my world. the record was basically unobtainable til now - highly regarded and sought after by the select few who were even aware of its excistence. this repress is still available direct from the label. bernie grundman remastered it
|
The Modern Jazz Quartet - The Last Concert (thank goodness it wasn’t, as I saw them about 10 years later, and it was indeed wonderful). Atlantic 2LP gatefold 1975

|
Calexico "Descamino"
2009/Quarterstick Records
|
@dayglow
It was close. I wasn’t sure, so checked Discogs, and a live Gene Harris concert was the last vinyl from that period, #397. I’ve never heard it.

|
McCoy Tyner - Time for Tyner. Blue Note reissue 1987, originally 1969.

|
Tool "Fear Inoculum"
2021/RCA /5lp box
This package is 5 lps with etching in side two of each lp. What a waist of an opportunity. What a waist of our resources!
So far sounding very good. Quiet vinyl. Not quite as analog sounding as my copy of
"Aenima".
splitting hairs, but I Do do that on occasion.
|
@bkeske
Thx for the quick reply. Since the original CJ vinyl catalogue ended at CJ-400(George Shearing/Piano 1990) correct me if wrong. The Gene Harris Quartet "Listen Here!" could be one of the last 5 star recordings on original Concord Jazz vinyl.
|
@dayglow
Both are really good. Concord is almost always excellent. I might give a slight advantage to the Gene Harris LP.
|
@bkeske
+2 Both highly acclaimed Concord Jazz releases CJ-253 Monty Alexander and CJ-385 Gene Harris. Both are NOT in my 70+ CJ collection. Which recording has the better SQ?
|
BTW, the phono stage is sounding great! Break-in is important on all components/parts!
|
I think the AP version is still available. I'll probably go for that
|
@slaw
Very nice album Steve. I’ve had it on CD for a long time, but the vinyl, well….😉
|
Miles Davis - Miles Davis' Greatest Hits. Columbia reissue 1977, originally 1969
