Kathleen Edwards "Back to Me" |
The Beatles "Rubber Soul" from the Mono Box |
Nick Drake "Pink Moon" the last "best" remaster from around 10 years ago |
Procul Harum - Shine On Brightly. Original A&M pressing from 1968. Still an astonishing listening experience! Next up will be A Salty Dog! |
Patty Griffin, Oh Yeah!
Mingus Dynasty, Live at Montreux. Terrific Live Imaging. Mingus Dynasty is a rotating group of primarily Mingus Alumni. These are all Mingus Compositions, and, they have two bass players, one far left, one far right. (here’s stereo bass for you) Live recordings can be the best imaging, sometimes loud crowd noise ’ruins it’, here is non-disturbing, not loud crowd noise only at end of tracks. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/1448034?sort=condition%2Cdesc&ev=rb

461 Ocean Blvd .... Eric Clapton
Unfortunately despite two goes on the cleaner it still resembles Rice Crispies, Snap, Crackle and Pop!
Off to the giveaway pile it goes.
Have a friend and she is struggling financially a little so I donate a few of my leftovers for her garage sales.
My bit of Goodwill! |
Broken Bells "After the Disco" |
Much better!
Mott The Hoople S/T.
Quiet on noise but big on boogie factor! |
K D Lang "Ingenue" (25th anniversary edition) |
@slaw Steve - it’s a long story but the short of it is I met Roger in the 80’s when I worked at a Beveridge dealer. Reconnected in early 2018 seeking some advice on electrical engineering texts and test equipment, possibly attending Burning Amp. I mused to War Dept it would be cool to have one of his amps as homage ( RIP ). One with KT-88 in rosewood came up local, so here we are.... |
@reubent
You would be proud of me!
Bit the bullet and been through my records this morning.
Culled about 50 lps and 20 CDs to go to my giveaway source.
Only about 1900 left now.....😂😂 |
The Unforgettable Fire .... U2.
Was going to turf this but playing it and better than I remember so it stays.
The other 50 I am not even going to look at again...be strong! |
The Herron is more complicated- I didn’t know Eric was a fan |
@uberwaltz - Good man! Be strong. Rock on! Might as well pass them on to someone who will enjoy them.
I've got about 90 (so far) that are off my shelf in the trade pile and deep storage pile. There are some that I simply cannot git rid of, even if I know I'll never listen to them. Most of those have sentimental value, mostly family hand-me-downs, or stuff from my childhood. I'm going to put those in a separate crate and place them on a shelf in the basement utility room.
So, since starting my culling last summer, I think I'm down about 150/200 total LPs. Almost done. But it will be an on-going battle keeping the number down to the approx. 520 that fit in my record rack.
Now, to get on the 1500/2000 CDs I've got on the shelf and in storage bins....... |
Fortunately the vast bulk of my CD collection is already boxed and in storage in the loft after I ripped them all to a hard drive.
Just a few favorites and newer charity shop purchases in view.
But all going to a good cause as if it raises a few dollars for my friend to help pay her bills it's a good thing indeed.

Uber - good man !
3K CD’s ripped into a variety of servers/NAS drives spread out along two coastlines... the NAIM server/DAC combo I have easily bests my now “ vintage” Mac CD player or even the Levinson battleship transport into same DAC and iPad the collection is a finger swipe away... |
Buddy Miller & Friends - Cayamo Sessions At Sea
|
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way - Mofi |
Gob Iron "Death Songs for the Living" |
Ian ans Sylvia - Early Morning Rain (Vanguard 1965) |
Ed McCurdy - Treasure Chest of American Folk Song (Elektra 1961)
Buy this. Historic record of great folk songs.
|
Ray Brown & L. Almeida- Moonlight Serenade : JET 33 004
an OMG disc.... |
|
The Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One |
The Benny Goodman Quartet - Together Again! (RCA Victor 1963)
Sparkling recording. |
Erroll Garner - Solitaire (Mercury 1955 Mono)
Guy learned pianoforte when he was 3. Never read or wrote music yet was a prolific composer by ear. I wish you could hear how much like a real piano this recording sounds. |
@tomic601 Gave the Ray Brown a listen on digital. Man, that's some raspy bowing. The vinyl seems to be difficult to get. |
@noromance texture!!!! Yes, I lucked into a copy by a miracle |
Erroll Garner - Gems (Columbia 1955)
Notes on the back cover about different "needles." Osmium, sapphire and diamond. And dire warnings of permanent damage if not replaced. Apparently the guy who owned this before me didn’t heed the notes. But he didn't play one side at all as it’s perfect. The other side...not so much. (Near Mint/Good) |
Bix Beiderbecke - The Bix Beiderbecke Story/Vol 2 Bix And Tram (Columbia 1955 Mono)
Reissue of 1927 recordings. All I need are some Mary Pickford lookalikes dancing around the pool table and a cigarette. |
Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox |
Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook, snagged at a used record blowout. $5 for double album. The surface noise kinda adds to the nostalgia... |
John Coltrane - Ascension |
|
Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways |
|
Twin Bandit / Full circle |
Hiss Golden Messenger / Heart like a levee |
Got a few more days of culling. On the block tonight:
Todd Rundgren - "Something/Anything?"
Double record, so it's going to take a while to come to a decision....
|
Reuben, that's an awesome record! |
Piss Aaron :-)
Hiss Golden Messenger / Lateness of dancers |
|
@boxer12 - I had completely forgotten "Piss Aaron". Now I haven't......
@big_greg - It's a keeper. Although I could have done without side II (record I, side II). If that were the whole album, it would be outta here. But the other 3 side make it a keeper.
|
+1 reubent
Elvis Costello / Spike |
Jenny Lewis "On The Line" |
Mazzy Star / She hangs brightly |
Diana Krall "Turn up the Quiet" |
@boxer12 - I love "Spike". I'm a big fan of EC. "Spike" is in my top 3-4 favorites of his albums. Favorite is probably "All This Useless Beauty". |
reubent, I only have a few EC albums but I'll have to check out "All this useless beauty". Spike is the favorite of what I own.
Fiery Furnaces / Remember
Last one for the night. Slaw, I think you're on a different schedule than me :-) |
Hey boxer, yeah different from everyone.
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Nuthin' Fancy" PP/MCA |
