although i am hoping for a T1 line and Qobuz on the beach…
It’s good to dream big, Brother!
I can listen to 2 songs (well, that come to mind) drone on and on, Terrapin Station and Neil Young’s Be The Rain (Greendale). I am a simple man. :-)

Thanks Bill - I’ve decided to add Whale Meat to my want list for sure.
I was a Dead outkast for singing the praises for Terrapin…i consider it a work of collaborative genius and on my desert island disc list for sure..although i am hoping for a T1 line and Qobuz on the beach…

MJ - Thriller. I recently picked up a new copy because this one looked kind of beat up. I should have stuck with this one, it sounds great, at least so far.

@mammothguy54 👍👍
I have Careful, but not the third. I’m surprised at the SQ, I hadn’t listened to this LP in a while. Brothers iin MD infatuation! 😂😂
Aerosmith / Get Your Wings
1974 CBS

@bslon I recently picked up that Motels S/T album. Fantastic music and really good SQ. I have 3 Motels albums and they are all tremendous. Glad you got to see them. Even though I did not, I too am infatuated with Martha Davis.
|
Motels / S-T
1979 Capitol
i saw them in ‘79 in a small venue, close enough to Martha Davis to smell her perfume. Infatuation ever since. Me, probably not Martha. 😁

@boxer12 Thanks Tim. I have both a Canadian and UK pressing of “Another Green World”. By far the UK pressing is the better version.

Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience

Hey James,

Hi Jim, 1974 Island Records ILPS9254 shows on the label. Nothing on the dead wax.
Dire Straits / Love Over Gold
1892 Warner Bros.
Like other DS LPs I have (all OP), fabulous sonics.
|
@spiritofradio - Hey James. That David Hepworth - "Deep 70's" mix has some great songs on it. A couple of my favorites - Andy Pratt - "Avenging Annie" and The Records - "Starry Eyes". I like Joan Armatrading - "Down to Zero" but I really like Bettye Lavette's later take on it. Check it out...
|
|
@bslon Bill - What pressing of Whalemeat ? streaming it..but surfing discogs….
thx
Jim
|
Black Country, New Road - “For The First Time”
Thought I’d try something new and this turned out to be really quite good. Might be sorta like Black Midi. Great rhythms. Great lyrics. @boxer12 Do you know this Tim? You might especially enjoy it.

Grateful Dead / Terrapin Station
1977 Arista
I remember a 70’s outdoor summer concert near Eugene when they played Terrapin Station. It seemed like it went for hours, I didn’t mind. It could’ve gone longer.

Paul Simon - One Trick Pony very good SQ, thanks to the "heads-up" from Dayglow, I picked this up on Discogs. Great album!
Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman This has been a favorite of mine since it was first released.
Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue I got this last year, Analogue Productions/QRP issue on UHQR. The best sounding issue of this iconic album.
On my way to Mammoth Mountain in the morning. 3 days of skiing over the rest of this week. Enjoy the music, guys.

That was a safe bet sbank 👍
Spellling / The turning wheel

Just picked up...
reading the room, you wanted the cover art

@tomic601 thanks, I'll be happy finding either JJ version.
Too bad Aimee's new one is analog-hampered. I'm hoping she does a full album collab w/Phoebe Bridgers. Check out their video.

I like this fellow’s selections:
|
My experience same as Bill’s. Lady Blackbird deep black tickless black acid soul. Love Amy’s new mental health material but noisy record. Amy’s vocals sound ok I guess. You’re right @bslon - Should have saved that one for the streamer…
|
|
My pressings of both were good, Lady B is super quiet although that could just be the “ crush “ effect. I jumped on Aimee disc because of the crazy $ for her older stuff….. i must have got lucky….
|
Hey James, we shoulda saved our $$ and gone with streaming this one. I like supporting a favorite artist but…
In the same package I got that Lady Blackbird LP which is very well done, no complaints there.
|
@bslon re: QOTSH, disappointingly noisy record here too.
