Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1

Joni Mitchell-"Court And Spark"

MOFI, 2LP, 45RPM, One-Step.  This is a SUPERB copy!  One of the best of the MOFI One-Step pressings so far...

@slaw...thanks for the reminder of the Gordon Lightfoot documentary!  I saved it to my watchlist awhile ago, but forgot about it.  I'll watch it this afternoon.

Played that copy of Lightfoot recently @mofimadness . It’s a great/sounding lp.

I actually watched a documentary about him on Prime recently. Highly recommended.

Sarah Harmer "Oh Little Fire"

2010/Cold Snap Records 

....goes with the Canadian artist vibe 

@reubent...never heard of The Trews or Metric. Qobuz has most of their stuff, I’ll need to listen to them. Thanks for the recommendation!

@mofimadness  - Do you know the Canadian Band - The Trews? Saw them open for dada a few years ago and they could really bring it live. Hit or miss on their studio recordings, but they were really good live.

How about Metric? There 2009 album - "Fantasies" is pretty good. I especially like the song - "Blindness".

Happy listening!

The New Pornographers-Mass Romantic

Canadian 1st Pressing

Absolutely adore Neko Case!

Checkfield - Water, Wind and Stone

love the album but wish they had used the Oxford comma 

Trooper-"Knock 'Em Dead Kid"

Canadian 1st Pressing

(My high school graduating class song was "We're Here For A Good Time, (Not A Long Time)", from this album laugh

I know this is "What's on your turntable TONIGHT, but it's a -7 outside here today, so it's a vinyl day, (and night!).

Chilliwack-Lights From The Valley

Canadian 1st Pressing

 

I'm on a Canadian Rock Band kick lately, so most will be from the Great White North...

Hmm i read that article. The half speed masters I have are all played at 33 not faster. Weird.

Elton John-"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"

Speakers Corner-Germany

(I went to pull this out and realized I had like 10 different versions of this.  Direct-Disk Labs, MOFI, Simply Vinyl, Speakers Corner, US 1st, UK 1st, Japanese 1st, Belgium.  Also one of my DIT25).

Where do the "master" recordings fall into these different pressings. The ones from the late 70s

Amazing Rhythm Aces-"Too Stuffed To Jump"

US 1st Pressing

(One of my DIT25)...Desert Island Top 25 

@paqua123...I have thousands of records from the 70's & 80's.  Some are really good and some are really awful.  It depends on the mastering, who mastered it, where it was mastered, where it was pressed, the materials used, etc.

I am not from the camp that all original pressings are better, because I have just as many from both sides that are good and bad.  YMMV.

@paqua123 ,

Heavy weight vinyl records supposedly provide a more damped product for hopefully increased listener received information. I have Dynaflex lps that sound great.

One title that was originally released on Dynaflex vinyl that is still highly regarded is Hot Tuna "Recorded Live at the New Orleans, Berkeley House.

The Rolling Stones "Goat’s Head Soup"

50th Anniversary/dbl lp edition
