The Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One 50th Anniversary Vinyl Edition (2020 Remaster)
|
I'm playing Chris Rea - Auberge
|
A wonderful left field pop/rock record by a dead set rock legend.
With personal favourites ‘Vicious’, ‘Perfect Day’, ‘Satellite of Love‘, ‘Goodnight Ladies’ and of course the magnificent ‘Walk on the Wild Side‘, a gutsy exploration of the then taboo subjects of sexual orientation, gender identity, prostitution and drug use, this quirky, personal, theatrical album never fails to put a smile on my face and is a glam rock classic.
Lou Reed - Transformer

Shirley Bassey-All By Myself Side 1
Rimsky-Korsakov(MS 6092) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
New England-ST Side 1
Paul McCartney-Band On The Run Side 1
Eubie Blake-The Eighty Six Years Of Eubie Blake-Side 3
Neil Diamond-The Jazz Singer Side 2
Randy Sabien Jazz Quintet-In A Fog Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Vern Gosdin-Chiseled In Stone Side 2
Diamond/McCartney and Gosdin were well above average in SQ. The SQ champ tonight goes to Randy Sabien. If you don’t find Shirley Bassey overly bombastic her version of New York State Of Mind might appeal to you.

Very nice James 👍🏼
And mono too! Hear that Jim?…..mono!
|
@tomic601
although for a fleeting microsecond..i imagined a Lederman special mono cartridge for the B and O….and tuck that away in the record storage cabinet….. then I came to my senses….whatever might be left…..
😁😂 I actually forgot you had that B&O Jim. And yes, Peter would make you a mono for it, no doubt.

Still going..

@bkeske
it’s an exceptionally good recording. And I’m no judge of course but the harpist sounds quite enchanting. Nice warm tone. Harp can sometimes be tacky but not on this.
|
Joel, mine is the 37244. But, on the back it does say it was ‘cut from the first generation analog copy of the digital master’
Very nice LP regardless.
|
@bkeske I am interested in that Isaac Stern Album. I see on Discogs there are two versions, one is a digital process and the other is not. The digital process is release 36692 and the analog (I believe that is the main difference) is 37244. Which one do you have? Any comments from anyone else, I am all ears.
Thank you.

Been away from the listening room for a few days, but getting caught up today!

Dire Straits-Communiqué 2019 Mofi 45rpm
Bob Dylan-Planet Waves 1974 Asylum
Coltrane-A Love Supreme 2021 Impulse Acoustic Sounds Series
Which one of you uses a Nivico table? I know I've seen pics posted of it. Send me a PM please if this is you. Thanks
|
@spiritofradio
James, no, never heard that one. The one I just played it really very nice. Really shows me how nice it is to have the new Belles Aria Signature pre. The harp sounds amazing with that new piece added to the mix.
Harp concertos are not an important type of music for me 🙂, but having that album in the collection is quite enjoyable.
But thanks, I’ll see if that one is in Tidal and save it for a future listen.
Edit: Found it and saved.

Schubert - The Fine Arts Quartet And Members Of The New York Woodwind Quintet With Harold Siegel - Octet In F Major, Opus 166 For Strings And Winds ( Concert Disk 1961)

@bkeske
Brian, do you know this recording of the Saint-Saëns Op. 154? Check it out.
|
@gajgmusic
Agreed! I kinda bought it on a lark, but it is really fantastic. Those three get going and it’s incredible.
Glad I picked it up.
|
That is one of my favorite albums. The music and performers are superb. I bought it when it first came out. Had to save up for it. I will have to go find my copy.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin’ Else
👍🏼 A fantastic LP, which I have, and others do here as well.
|
@tomic601
A mono cartridge…..
Live large Jim, get one 😁 But, the Brinkmann, where?
…….is a second table looming on the horizon? Too bad you sold the SOTA 🙃
|
Thanks all for the lovely welcome…I’m really happy I’ve come across this thread…I’ve been reading the equipment threads (for want of a better word) for a little while but not posting, I think I felt my knowledge of Hi-Fi and how to describe it was lacking compared to others…but I agree, this is by far the nicest thread on here 🙂 and I’m much more comfortable discussing the music.
I’m in Australia so my posts are probably going to be a little askew timeline wise, but I’ll do my best to keep up.
It’s morning here now, but I’m working from home with the bonus of being able to play the odd track or album whilst I do, so I couldn’t resist a little jazz to ease me into the day:
Cannonball Adderley - Somethin’ Else
An album where Miles Davis gets second billing is indeed “somethin’ else”
