Motels-ST The black label has Motels in red cursive text with a red kiss imprint. The dead wax has mastered by capitol stamped on both sides. Hope this helps.

Kronos Quartet is challenging for me sometimes but in a way that I feel is good. I streamed that record and I think it’s very good. Thanks.

Interesting James. I think it was my CD’s of Kronos that got me more interested in ‘classical’. I had a chance to see them live at an ‘after hours’ party in a huge unfurnished commercial loft space. I believe they had just performed live in town, and accepted the invite afterwards. Pretty surreal actually, they, performing within this big space as others mingled and gathered around them. I was literally standing in front of them, amazed as I watched and listened.

Streaming “Straight Ahead”.   Nice!

Seeing another album to try “Cannonball Adderely and the Poll Winners”

By this set you’ve added even more depth to the sophistication and good taste already reflected on this thread I appreciate this posting. Kronos Quartet is challenging for me sometimes but in a way that I feel is good. I streamed that record and I think it’s very good. Thanks.

 

 

 

Just arrived back home from being out town, and this was delivered.

Took me three attempts to buy a copy of this before a seller could actually locate his copy in their inventory. Crazy.

This was a reunion for these three as ‘Poll Winners’. Looking forward to this….thanks Jim for the heads up on this trio, never knew these three had a group together before.

Contemporary Records 1976

 

@bslon  - I love Budgie! I have a good portion of their album output, including "Bandolier"

Spencer ; like everything i have heard from that duo, it never fails to satisfy…i don’t know that anything can shine with such a bright light as Harrow and the Harvest, but i enjoy this..consider myself lucky to score a reissue copy…i need to be more on top of upcoming releases and preorder…

Dr. John - In The Right Place.  I forgot this was a multi-colored pressing and kind of freaked out a little when I took it out of the sleeve.  I thought something was wrong with it.  What a great record though, it's been too long since I played it!

@sbank  Good morning!

Motels-ST appears to be an original pressing. I will post dead wax info later today.

@dayglow Is Motels S/T any special version or will a bin dive suffice?

@tomic601 how you liking Welch / Rawlings - Good Times?  I'm very impressed with both sound & music.

@mammothguy54 +1! 

Basie Jam  I assume this is #1, it was recorded December 10, 1973.  I got a NM/M- copy for $5 plus shipping.  Man, this is a great album!

Since 4/8 had Audiophile SQ the night was a success. What a great debut by the Motels with great SQ(Ken Perry/Rumours). The SQ champ was very close but I will give the nod to Martha Davis and band over VerPlanck by a nose.

 

@j_husker that’s great news.  And you’re right back at it.  Very nice.

@j_husker   Best wishes to you on a speedy recovery from knee surgery.  I have had 3 such surgeries myself.  Not fun, but with dedicated PT all is good in the end.  I hope that you have a very strong and successful outcome.

Thanks Tom, Will check it out.  
 

some great stuff represented here the last few hours: Smithereens, Gary Burton, Morphine, Porcupine Tree.  Gives me ideas… 

So, the latest Robbie Robertson album - "Sinematic" is pretty darn good. Check it out via streaming and buy the LP if you like it. The quality of the vinyl LP is really good.
