One of my first record purchases as a kid and long ago worn out through abuse, I have been through several nasty sounding versions reissued both analog and digital. This one finally hits the mark! The imaging is totally 60’s with Hendrix either left of stage or right, like as in concert as a trio. The vinyl is ultra quiet. The final re-issue of AYE for me.

Totally over-playing this…

Tried out yet another set of 12au7’s in the Trumpet. Amperex made for HP. Nice, but the CBS-Hytron will remain. I’m beginning to understand just how good they are in comparison to others I have.
Sandy Denny - Gold Dust. Her last concert/recording. UMC/Island 2022 RSD release. Cleaned it twice more, and a bit more acceptable. QC was not great on this pressing, but nice to have none the less.

Joni Mitchell - The Hissing Of Summer Lawns. Asylum 1975

Ha! Tim, we has an ivory one. I have had women's numbers with zeros in them that were too much trouble to dial.

Polly Bergen – The Party's Over (Columbia 1957 mono)

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus Mono, and it is wonderful! AP/QRP Prestige Records reissue.
Lightnin' Hopkins - Goin' Away AP/QRP Prestige Records reissue. I am totally amazed at what they were able to put on tape back then, and even more amazed at how all that can be made today in such a high quality of sound reproduction.
The Crusaders - Chain Reaction MoFi Original Master Recordings. Ordered this last week and it arrived today. NM condition and a very fair price of $29
I'm heading to Mammoth Mountain in the morning. My last hurrah for the ski season. I'm pleasantly surprised there is enough snow on the upper mountain to still be skiing. Only good through the end of May, though. Have a good time spinning vinyl.

Tim,
Smog is Bill Callahan. Think you’ll like them.
Smog's first few lps we're Bill solo to minimal accompanyment
|
Dokken - Beast from the East

Steve, I agree that Jason had a knack for putting out very "real" sounding records. Not familiar with Smog but I'll check them out.

|
Sarah Shook & The Disarmers "Nightroamer"
2022/Thirty Tigers
Highly recommended!!
I think I have all her stuff on vinyl now
|
It’s amazing how well recorded most of Jason’s albums are Tim. Of course you get the warts and all. I always hear a ceiling fan in at least one record.
Feel the same for Smog lps.
|
James, Thanks for the response on "Snow Goose". I agree with both you & Joel in that the prior (to 2013) recording was so-so. The music is incredible though!
Songs Ohia: Ghost Tropics
This album is recorded so well. I doubt it's a first pressing, but close.

The Art Pepper album is the one RSD title I let get away from me. I didn’t want to pay the in- groove’s high shipping.
|
Wolfgang Sawallisch conducts Schubert - The Complete Symphonies. Staatskapelle Dresden. Philips 5LP box 1978, European release
Going to start from the beginning, not sure where I’ll land.

|
@spiritofradio - the Art Pepper album is great! I was not familiar w his work and this record has made me a fan. The band is incredible and Bernie Grundman’s mastering is top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
|
Amos Lee "My New Moon"
2018/Dualtone
Flag Day soundtrack is highly recommended!
