More Songs...was recommended to me by one of my record store gurus when it came out so I bought it. I listened to it once, and thought it was total shite and put it my shelf for a year before playing it again. Still had problems when I listened to it a second time, especially with the yelping chihooahooa singer. Six months later played it again and the switch went 'click'. One of my favourite albums of all time

@slaw I just ran it through the SpinClean. No alcohol. |
So this is a hoot. These belonged to Herself's grandfather. I swapped in an Ortofon M78 on my modified 12" Jelco 750 and was pleasantly surprised by how good these sounded. First time playing 78s on 401 #2. She loved hearing them again, both as a reminder of childhood visits to grandfather's basement, and when she performed the show many years ago. |
@jbmac75 , How is "Battle Studies"? |
Pete Townshend - "The Iron Man" ... again! I love Pete Townshend and I love this album. I typically listen to it straight through, as it is the soundtrack from a musical. Now, being the soundtrack from a musical, some of the tracks do not stand on their own. However, there are at least 2 tracks that I feel do stand up very well on their own. If you like Pete Townshend and/or The Who, check out these two tracks from Pete Townshend's - "The Iron Man" "Dig" "A Friend is a Friend" |

The Doors - Classics. It's wise they didn't call this compilation a "greatest hits" collection, because a lot of those are missing, but it digs a little deeper into the catalog and all songs are good. My copy is pristine and sounds great. This is also a lot cheaper and more readily available than some of the other Doors compilations I have. |
Beach Boys - Smiley Smile Analog Productions 180 gram Mono remaster just received from Acoustic Sounds after being on backorder for about a year. I've been waiting a long time to replace my original 1967 Brother Mono copy.and I am not disappointed. Dead quiet and the SQ is fantastic from the whispers on Wonderful to the thumping bass on Getting Hungry. |
Tony Bennett-A Time For Love Side 1 Randy Travis-No Holdin’ Back Side 2 Led Zeppelin-IV(no barcode symbol label)* Side 1 Police-Ghost In The Machine Side A SQ Audiophile Freddie Hubbard-Sweet Return Side 1 SQ Audiophile Son Seals-Chicago Fire Side B Jefferson Starship-Freedom At Point Zero Side A Zoot Sims-And The Gershwin Brothers Side 2 SQ Audiophile All vinyl had above average SQ tonight except Son Seals or Starship being the weakest(average) I don’t believe the *Zep is an early pressing maybe mid/late 70’s, acceptable SQ curious if mint OP is much better? Hubbard and Sims are both great Audiophile recordings. I give the slight edge to Freddie Hubbard since its not as forward and has a wider soundstage. Both are great jazz recordings/performances for a minimal cost. |
@rafevw Welcome to THE thread. Thanks for posting about this album. I was not familiar with it but streaming it now and really digging the sound. Great players! And the strings are really nice too. RVG recording but so far to me sounds more modern. Maybe this digital is remixed, don’t k ow. Great post. On my want list now. Thanks! |
