Whats on your turntable tonight?

Squirrel Flower "I Was Born Swimming"

Polyvinyl Records

I was referring to mono amps but I do agree with you on mono recordings James.

I agree Steve.  I don’t have a mono cart but mono records do have their own appeal.  I think they sound really good through my corner horns.

,.....seems to be a solidity to the imaging with monos that is noticeable

Spoon "Hot Thoughts"

2017/Matador

+2 Camel

I’m late to understanding them and enjoying. I have acquired a few recently.

@boxer12 +1 on Camel Tim.  I just got the 2013 re-recording, slightly rearranged in places, of Snow Goose that Latimer did with his new friends.  An interesting artifact.  

Mozart Complete String Quintets (Too difficult to spell the name of the Quintet performing) 1971 Telefunken (5 LP0 Box) Germany.  A very nice set.  The Quintets with the horns added are particular favorites.  I’m on the third of five discs making for a long lovely listen on a rainy day here.

@ticat +1 on Magma.  Far out!  I love early heavy stuff like that.

Glad you liked it Bill. 👍

@boxer12 

Dan, +1 for "Bufo Alvarius"!

Hi Tim, thanks!  I'm slowly filling out the Bardo Pond collection.  I'm still running the RSD 2022 acquisitions through the Degritter.  I'll have more of them tonight.

Lou Reed & Kris Kristofferson "The Bottom Line"

2021/Bottom Line Archive

This is my first RSD title. I thought it was too cool to pass up.

Steve, I finally got around to listening to Israel Nash “Rain Plans”, nice. Thanks!

Silver Jews "The Natural Bridge" 

1996/Drag City 

It's a good day when I can listen to David Berman......RIP.

Dominique Fils-Aime' "Stay Tuned!" 

2019/ Ensoul Records

David Ramirez "Fables"

2015/Thirty Tigers/produced by Noah Gundersen

John Illsley "Coming Up for Air"

2019/Creek Touring & Records LLP/EU 

Listen to "Wild One" and get ready for some foot tappin'.

Well, I stand corrected. Put on side one of my pp/UK/Harvest and it sounds somewhat warmer, more like it's from that era. 

Last night...

Jade Warrior- Floating World (a favourite lately)
Nik Bartsch - Entendre
Magma - Udu Wudu
Enigma - The Fall of a Rebel Angel
 

@spiritofradio Thanks, the Koyaanisqatsi is an oldie but goodie. A personal favourite sound track of mine, from my "Art House Movie" days.

Pink Floyd "Obscured By Clouds"

2016/ Sony 

Never enjoyed this album more

Magik Markers / 2020

Magik Markers / For Sada Jane

The Police / Synchronicity 
1983 A&M

This is the Blue Note Tone Poet version - picked up today in my LRS.

Sundazed did a great job on that one Bill.

Camel / Mirage 

@bslon I likes me some Shabooh Shoobah

Bert Jansch / L.A. Turnaround 

1974 Charisma 

on a side note, a gratuitous shoutout to Aleks Tammeorg at Degritter.  When the above mentioned album arrived from Holland and was being cleaned, I discovered that the water tank on my Degritter cracked.  It had sat unused for perhaps three weeks and I was changing the water out when I noticed.  It has been sitting on a table unmoved for perhaps three months. I sent an email and had a reply from Aleks the next morning with an offer to send a replacement. It arrived in about a week. I’m an even bigger fan now.

carry on

Rick Wakeman - Journey To The Center of The Earth

The Byrd's "Fifth Dimension"

@dayglow , 

I have "Diamond Girl". One of the albums I've owned the longest. Enjoy it now and then. Brings me back to a certain time with good memories.

Joe Walsh / So What
1974 ABC Dunhill

Camel / The snow goose 

Seals & Crofts-Greatest Hits Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Eydie Gormet-Don't Go To Strangers(CS 9276) Side 2

Harrison/Blanchard-Black Pearl Side 1

Don McLean-ST Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Europe-Out Of This World Side 1

Men At Work-Business As Usual Side 1

Elton John-Breaking Hearts Side 2

Angela Bofill-Too Tough Side 1

A very good SQ night! The six other recordings are near Audiophile status. Men at Work had a tight direct unforced(laid back) transparent sound. I thought it was a little to thin sounding and lacking presence/dynamics)to give it Audiophile status. My copy was VG. As many know S/C Greatest is well known for having Audiophile SQ which proved SQ champ tonight.

Joe Jackson / Night And Day
1982 A&M

Prince "Sign O The Times"

2020 big boxset 

Lp 1

Hangedup / Kicker in tow 

Charles Lloyd - Voice In The Night

@mammothguy54 That’s quite exciting news Joel. Please keep us posted.

Joel,

Uncle Kevin drilled it into us about trying every tap to hear what sounds better. 

There's a pic on my system page.
