@artemus_5 

Good to know about 38 Special lp. I have it as well but It got so much radio play back in the day that I thought I'd had my fill .

The mix &  Mastering (RL) is as good as any 1/2 speed Master I have. It was shockingly good. What a shame that RL didn't do the Skynyrd releases.

 

 

A forgotten Southers Rock band who got some air play for "Mean to your Queenie" song. Not a dazzling album. But still a good album overall

@dtstevens 👍. My box finally arrived yesterday.  Welcome to the thread.  Keep’em coming.  

@big_greg I agree and the great SQ and quiet vinyl add to that. I hadn’t listened to it in a long time, forgot how much I enjoy it.

@bslon I really like that Live at Massey Hall recording, it has a very intimate feel to it.

Grateful Dead / The Best Of “Skeletons In The Closet”
1974 Warner Bros.

Neil Young / Live At Massey Hall 1971
2007 Reprise

A wonderful ‘you are there’ live double LP. Just Neil and a quiet, respectful audience. Nice.

The Jayhawks - "Hollywood Town Hall"

One of my favorite records from the Americana Genre...

Charles Münch conducts Bizet - Carmen Suite & L'Arlésienne Suite. New Philharmonia Orchestra. London 1967
 

The Allman Brothers Band-The Allman Brothers Band 2012 Mofi

Audiomods arm is en route. Hoping to spend Sunday getting it mounted. Already planning my first few spins with it.

Antal Dorati conducts Respighi - The Pines Of Rome & The Fountains Of Rome. Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Mercury Living Presence 1963
 

Eugene Ormandy conducts Charles Ives - Symphony No. 1 In D Minor & Three Places In New England. The Philadelphia Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1968
 

@dayglow, I've thought of doing that in the past.  I try to keep things matching as far as the cover and the matrix variations.  The first one was NM and has a nicer cover, the 2nd was very close to NM, but has a few scuffs and a price sticker on the outer sleeve, so it goes in the cull bin.

@big_greg  You could kept both by doubling up the vinyl and keeping the best jacket. Still saves space... sometimes with multiple pressings there is no SQ winner.

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Work Volume 2.  Both copies I have are really nice.  It's going to be a toss up as far as which one to keep.

I like how some of you are uploading pictures - I'll have figure out how to do that on here!

Hey @gardners501 great to see you back here again.   
 

Bill Evans - At The Montreux Jazz Festival

 

 

Johnny Smith's eponymous album. It was a gift from a friend who is a jazz guitarist and says Johnny Smith had a big impact on his style and study.

 

Luciano Pavarotti-Luciano Side 2 SQ Audiophile

J.Geils Band-"Live" Full House Side 2

Susannah McCorkle-No More Blues(CJ-370) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Bryan Adams-Into The Fire Side 1

Elvis Presley-He Touched Me Side 1

Aerosmith-Classics Live Side 2

Linda Ronstadt-Don't Cry Now Side 2

Marian McPartland-At The Festival(CJ-118) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

McPartland takes the SQ Crown edging out Pavarotti might be demo quality. Ronstadt SQ was not up to her other recordings, mastering info not on album. "Full House" what a great classic rock LP with good SQ! The religious side of Elvis reminded me of a Blackwood Brothers recording, more Elvis less chorus.
