For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
That is about the finest description of a band that I've ever read on this site. I do not doubt at all that Willy Vlautin was influenced by both Ford and Carver, which makes me look forward even more to reading his books in a couple of months when my workload lightens. Thanks for that, and glad you are enjoying the Delines! I think I'll go put them on right now.
@tomic601@geof3et. al. My Moving Pictures 40th records showed up back at the house while we’ve been away for the weekend at in-laws in Bend. I have a date with them tonight.
@waltersalas@slaw@tomic601@bslonet. al. Streamed “Inperial” this morning. Like Ramond Carver or Richard Ford short stories set to Cowboy Junkies music. Very cool. Great to learn about another atmospheric band from my hometown. Thanks.
@boxer12I have the 45 RPM MFSL of American Beauty. I haven't listened for a while to say how it compares to the one I picked up. I am pretty sure it's a test pressing. I found one that looks similar for Aja.
The Moving Pictures 40th box set arrived yesterday, but I’ve got the KD-650 all dismantled awaiting the Audiomods arm that is coming this week, so I guess it will have to wait.
Grateful Dead - American Beauty. Not sure about the provenance of this one. It's in a plain white sleeve with a MFSL number and stamped "sample not for sale". The vinyl has a plain label stamped with JVC. A promo? Test pressing? It sounds fantastic!
As am I Brian. It turns out the seller used it with a Hagerman Trumpet, and said the increase in SQ was very apparent and made it ‘reference quality’ (his words). A great deal for that amount. Have been eyeing them on Upscale for quite a while.
@bkeske looking forward to hear how your forthcoming LPS sounds
Hey Steve! I bet you do know the fellow! He recommended the JT album when he, tomic601, and myself went to Stereo Unlimited in San Diego for the Vandersteen event with Richard Vandersteen. We had a blast!!! :-)
@boxer12 Hi Tim, I happened to pull the gray top border jacket “Lonesome”. “Truckers Atlas” is on the blue top border jacket. Did your version come as 2 records in 2 separate jackets (vs. a gatefold)? Strange…but great selection of Modest Mouse.
+1 for Modest Mouse “The Lonesome Crowded West”. I seem to pull that one out most often when wanting to listen to Modest Mouse. Love the song "Truckers Atlas"
