Whats on your turntable tonight?

Midnight Oil / Diesel and Dust
1987 Columbia

SQ decent on Eagles but outstanding on the Bad Company and Midnight Oil LPs.

Bad Company / Desolation Angels
1979 Swan Song

Eagles / Their Greatest Hits
1976 Electra/Asylum

Bronski Beat / The Age of Consent

+1 for "Electric Ladyland". 

moe. / Sticks stones 

Just arrived from England 

Cocteau Twins / Garlands (4AD - 1982)

Jimi Hendrix  -  Electric Ladyland   Reissue by the Jimi Hendrix Company.  I need to clean my original and compare.  Though they say on the album sticker that it was produced from the original master tapes, this reissue sure sounds digital to my ears.

Procol Harum  -  Home   From 1970 so it was played on my parents Magnavox console, a few years before I got my first real high fidelity music system.  A bit of vinyl noise (actually, quite a bit) but wonderful music.  You can certainly hear Robin Trower on this one.

Jennifer Warnes  -  Another Time, Another Place   Impex sure knows how to produce a quality piece of vinyl.  Music is very good, but not her best.

Neil Young - On the Beach

moe. / This is not...

Phish / Big boat 

Dug this one out and dusted it off:

Vangelis - China = 中國 1979 French Polydor

+1 for Deguello James!  One of my all-time favorite albums.

ZZ Top - Degüello

Jake Xerxes Fussell - Good and Green Again

Van Morrison - Wavelength 
 

Joel, my skiing history is just a couple of years short of yours, although I don't ski as many days annually as you. My son has grown up taking a ski trip to Utah or Colorado every years since age 4. He's 18 now and headed to Engineering School this August at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO. He's living my dream, and I'm happy for him. What an opportunity for a great education and an incredible life experience, about an hour from Summit County ski areas.

@reubent  Tom, I wasn't aware that you are a skier.  Right on, dude!  I have been skiing for 49 years and have only missed 2 seasons (due to injury and my mother's dying process).  Welcome back, glad you are safe and spinning some vinyl.  Another great pleasure in life.

Rod Stewart-Smiler Side 1

Morris Albert-Feelings Side B

Boz Scaggs-Slow Dancer Side 1

Nancy Wilson-Now Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Barbra Streisand-Yentl Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Jefferson Starship-Earth Side A

Yes, Led Zep was the SQ chump tonight. Ms. Wilson takes the SQ crown tonight despite a minor digital edge. For all the jokes "Feelings" has endured for 45+ years it's not a bad song or album. Is it great? No, but many people even some audiophiles praise lesser music.

Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual

Egberto Gismonti - Circense
1980 EMI (Brazil)

Tower Of Power-Tower Of Power 1973 WB

Initially started the evening with Zep In Through the Out Door from the box set, made it less than 8 minutes. I try to listen to LZ vinyl occasionally but find I just don’t enjoy it any more. Probably the worst sounding vinyl I own-and I own a fair amount of Zep. Never heard a Classic Records Quiex Zeppelin, would like to someday.

LOW / Hey what

Roxy Music -- "Avalon"

Deep Purple - Machine Head 

LOW / Double negative

Szell conducts Bartók - Concerto For Orchestra & Janáček - Sinfonietta For Orchestra, Op. 60. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1966
