Just received over 30 Albums from @slaw today. It’s going to be a very nice weekend
Thanks slaw, you are a gentleman. |
You’re welcome @bkeske, you’ve been a great asset to this thread.
........................................................................
Just finished changing my US water. Gonna settle down to a little listening. Finishing up Lucinda Williams "Good Souls, Better Angels" lp 2 |
|
Sarah Jarosz "World on the Ground" the pressing was a little noisy, deep cleaned it, hopefully it’ll help
Great album!
It worked.
|
Archie Shepp - A Sea of Faces
Oliver Nelson - Blues and the Abstract Truth
Max Roach - We Insist!
The Swan Silvertones - Let Us All Go Back to the Old Landmark
Skip James - The Complete 1931 Sessions
|
Lou Reed "Rock n Roll Heart" pp |
|
Quicksilver Messenger Service "Just For Love" sealed pp/avocado green label - Capitol
Sounds like a cross between Blind Faith & The Band. |
Sammy Johns. "S/T". Op
Would’ve been even greater had he not died so young. |
Rocket Fuel .... Alvin Lee .. Ten Years Later. |
Thanks to @boxer12,
I searched out a copy of It’s Immaterial "Life’s Hard and Then you Die". I’d never heard of the band before, only the title, which I’ve often heard used as a phrase. Anyway, it struck me and went to audition it on Amazon, then realized it just needed to be heard in person. My copy is a gold stamped promo on A&M...interestingly, when I was cleaning it, I held it to a light and it is translucent just like the early MOFI/JVC vinyl.
So, here we go............... |
Power ..... Kansas.
Not one of their best SQ wise, it's pretty bright and "hot". |
uber,
Although Kansas is one of my all time favorite bands, I just haven't kept up with them since their heyday. |
Wow! @boxer12,
The It's Immaterial record is a piece of recorded art! I love it! It's masterfully produced, recorded, written. |
Jellyfish "Bellybutton"
This is the main band I thought of while listening. This band was in the next decade. |
Slaw.
The songs themselves on Power are pretty decent, just not very well recorded or mixed or mastered, whichever is the cause of the less than stellar SQ.
It is a mint example though so no surface noise or clicks anywhere so that's a plus. |
Special Forces ...... Alice Cooper.
From his pretty much unloved era of releases.
It's not bad...... |
Just had to check out It's Immaterial on Roon.
Too funny, we would call them Scousers.
You will have to Google that one 😂 |
|
What do you think of Hiroshima Greg?
I had never heard them but in the last lot of tapes I bought there was one of their albums.
Quick listen but seemed a little not really my taste. |
Fish out of water ..... Chris Squire. |
Caroline Spence "Spades & Roses" |
Uber, they are not really my typical type of music either, but I do like jazz which they incorporate and the sound quality is really good. |
Ry Cooder - Boomer's Song, MFSL |
The Weavers – Reunion At Carnegie Hall, Part 2 (Vanguard 1965)
Americana. Logging songs and stuff.
|
Earth, Wind, and Fire "Spirit" |
Pete Seeger – We Shall Overcome, Live at the Historic Carnegie Hall (Columbia 1963)
Naive Americana. The audience singing along is awesome and wholesome. 55 years later, not much has changed. Applause is a little hot but soundstage is solid. |
@noromance ,
Made any decisions regarding your latest arm? |
Caroline Spence is such a wonderful artist. |
Gato Barbieri – El Pampero (Flying Dutchman 1972)
Latin improv jazz with a strangulated sax. I can imagine the dude asking his friends what they thought and they'd say, "Man, it was awesome." As he turned away they would shoot themselves in the head with a finger gun. Not for me.
|
@slaw Yeah. I put the Jelco back.
|
|
John Martyn – London Conversation
(Island 1967 mono)
Lovely album. My first mono record bought back in the day. I checked and it’s worth a few hundred bucks.
|
"Just For Love". again/deep cleaned. |
Nilsson – Duit On Mon Dei (RCA Victor 1975)
Great album. Herbie Flowers meets Captain Beefheart.
|
@slaw Ah... can't keep track of what I said. It's a good arm, better in many ways than the 850L. Sweet tracker and spacious and relaxed, but... the Jelco is just more dynamic and incisive. It's sitting on a table looking forlorn.
