Al Stewart / Time Passages
1978 Arista
Produced by Alan Parsons. Side 1’s finale ”A Man For All Seasons” usually coaxes me onto Side 2.
So, now to Side 2…

Brian (noromance),
I am a fan of MM cartridges. At some point I'm going to have to try a Decca cartridge (of some flavor), as they consistently receive praise from music lovers. Glad you're happy with the "Super Gold".

12” vs. 9” too…?
@spiritofradio I know there are differences but I move things around a bit and am used to the differences. The cartridge difference surpasses the arm length and the phono stage. Thanks.

Yep, the pink box. I have better Sibelius collections, but this is the only one I have on vinyl. I’m constantly looking for the Maazel collection with the Wiener Philharmonic on vinyl for a good price. But there are others as well…..

Triggerhippy fans might enjoy the album “Snapshot “ by Roger Glover (deep purple’s bassman) with Randall Bramblett, et. al. I certainly do.

I was thinking seriously about trying to find that same spot where he took the cover photo(s). Magical place, Joshua Tree. Play tumbleweed connection on the way down. Mahler’s 7th upon midnight arrival.

The Buddy Weed album came to mind when you said triggerhippy.

So I played the Limehouse album again. Last time on the Decca (Garrott Bros.) Gold (newer line contact tip) on the 9" Jelco 850 through the Croft R phono. Replayed it with the Decca Super Gold (Paratrace tip) on the 12" Jelco 850 through Croft RS phono. Both with Decapods.
Man, the difference between a $1100 cartridge and a $1800 one from the same stable.

Limehouse Jazzband – Rhythm Is Our Business (Stomp Off 1981)
Love this album.
|
@reubent Thanks for the words and I will take that into consideration. However, I am a Dave Mason fan so for the very fair price of the album I think I will indeed make the purchase. And, of course, will report on the performance as well as the SQ once I receive it (end of January, if it's on time for deliver date).
As for skiing, 4 days thus far this season. I'll be back up to Mammoth in early January, after all of the Holidays. Being retired there is no longer any reason to go skiing amongst the crowds. My target is to score a minimum of 30 ski days this season. And Happy Holidays to you, too. Be safe and healthy.

@mammothguy54 - That's really cool. I hope it comes out well. Please let us know once you hear it. I was not impressed with another artist's version of this action.
Lucinda Williams re-recorded "Sweet Old World" as "This Sweet Old World". The original recording is kinda of low-fi, so it made logical sense to re-record it. However, Lucinda was not the same artist she was 25 years earlier. Although the sound quality of the new recording was much better, I did not like the performance, at all, compared to the original. Of course, other feel differently. And that's OK too...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you! You still at Mammoth? How many ski days have you gotten in already this season?

Check this out. "Alone Together" will be re-recorded and released in late January, 2022. Pre-orders being accepted at Elusive Disc, possibly on other sites as well. I cut & pasted the message from Dave Mason, which is on the Elusive Disc site. This sounds very interesting. I have a perfect original copy, marbled vinyl, that I bought back in 1973. My 1970 copy was played out on my parents console. Knowing that would be the case I bought a second copy fairly soon after buying the first one and kept it sealed until the time I was able to buy my first high fidelity system, in 1973. Playing this new release could be a lot of fun.
Alone Together was my first solo album. Like all firsts, they are special. The original tapes that burned in the 2008 Universal fires was heartbreaking. But it occurs to me, the Music never dies.
I've played these songs for the better part of 50 years because I love them. I re-recorded the whole album because I still feel inspired by the music. This makes Alone Together Again a true labor of love. Some things I know for sure; music is relationship and love is best when shared. That is the whole conceptual play of Alone Together.
We allowed ourselves to have some fun with the presentation of this LP, which is marbled and multicolored, just like the original vinyl. And true to the original album, it's a three part fold out. We tried to find the exact spot in Joshua Tree to reshoot the photo, but, well, it has been over fifty years ago and we couldn't be sure. But we think we recaptured the spirit, nonetheless.
I hope you'll enjoy listening to Alone Together Again as much as I had in making it. And I hope you'll feel the love when you have it in your hands, and when the music hits your heart.
