Roxy Music "Siren" Island/UK/ |
@boxer12
+1 The The. What a brilliant album. I bought it when released. |
Johnny Rivers "Meanwhile Back @ The Whiskey A Go Go
Imperial/stereo |
I'm happy a few of you were inspired to give a test listen to some of my bday prizes.
my sump pump failed, so I haven't had time to enjoy my new music,
I played 1st side of Rising Appalachia, oh baby, superb, I am glad a few of you 'found' them here. Donna found them from a email feed from a concert hall they were going to perform at (now shuttered). I had forgotten Ani DiFranco sings with them on 1 song, I recognized her voice, that was a treat.
Some day, we will see/hear them live!
New Sump pumps here in 1 hour, then evening plans, some listening planned for tomorrow! |
|
Tift Merritt "Traveling Alone" from the box which comes with a bonus acoustic lp called "Traveling Companion". Recommended. |
|
One of the two that came in the mail today and @tomic601 so graciously gifted me. Thank you sir. Quite a nice gift!
Ritz Reiner conducts Beethoven’s 1st and 9th Symphony. DBL LP set. Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. RCA Red Seal. Stereo 1962
Just fantastic, and much appreciated !! |
Nothing better than receiving records delivered to your doorstep! |
No doubt. This is quite the little group we have here. Thanks to @slaw and @tomic601 and soon to be arriving cassettes from @uberwaltz my collection is becoming fuller and better thanks to you. And always nice when coming from friends. |
Yw my friend!
Unfortunately the Post is truly messed up in Florida. I believe Jim sent me care package too but nothing yet arrived.☹️
But a line that stuck in my head from one of my fave sci-fi type movies.
You can't stop the signal! |
I'm having a tape kind of day.
My last job lot contained tapes I had never heard and are proving to be most enjoyable.
Listening to Chilliwack right now who I had never even heard of never mind heard.
Most pleasant! |
While we're on the subject, I received two other lps from @tomic601 ,
in my care package, two sealed Neil Diamond lps. Apparently, I'm in the minority here in liking Neil. I found "Taproot..." yesterday on Etsy....maybe a Neil shoot-out soon? |
Taproot Manuscript is the only Diamond LP in my collection and I must admit I quite like it.
I think in my case it's more just finding some good albums of his to listen to. |
Suzanne Vega "S/T" from the short-lived Vivante (audiophile label). Recommended on any label.
"... she's cut down on her lovers.."
Another best of "debut albums". |
Hey Uber,
If you run across "Hot August Nights" in your journeys, pick it up. I have the MFSL, love it!
BTW, saw the Avid on your systems page. Very nice! |
Uber - what’s the frequency Kevin ???? |
Satchmo apparently can’t get into Florida |
U r welcome Brian - I saw the condition of the cover and my heart sank - fortunate they playgrade much better !!! |
Sent out two more boxes today
my post office guy invented new stuff as in no packing slip, invoice or other correspondence can be included in media rate, I called his bluff....
iF anything shows up postal collect, refuse it or I will send u $$$
i have since started writing notes on the box
appar nobody on discogs has heard this rogue clerks invention... |
BTW, saw the Avid on your systems page. Very nice! Just took a peek. Very nice @uberwaltz , but it took ‘top shelf’ over the Garrard? |
Not really Brian
But that's the only place for a decent size TT so had to remove the 401 so I could test out the Avid and for drrsutliff to set it up correctly.
It was that or the floor.....😇
Looking at what's involved in building my "double wide" right now...🤔 |
@tomic601 U r welcome Brian - I saw the condition of the cover and my heart sank - fortunate they playgrade much better !!! It plays a little rough in areas, but I don’t have a Reiner Beethoven 9th in my collection, until now. So, much appreciated regardless. Will try to see what I can do to clean it up further. The Bizet looks to be in fantastic shape though, and will be going on next. |
what’s the frequency Kevin ???? I might have to ask Mal...... |
Hey Uber,.
FWIW, I have a mapleshade 3 shelf rack, the shelves finished in rosewood, that I’m willing to part with if interested.?
PM me bro.
BTW, you never mentioned you Rega had a custom plinth? |
@tomic601 ,
Your postal clerk just gave you incentive to tell a little white lie. |
Slaw
Pm heading your way soon!
Yes that little Rega is an overachiever itself. Not much original left about it... Lol
He made a real good job of sandwiching the original plinth between two MDF boards and then veneer.
Plus he added an IEC at the back and on/off switch so can use any PC with it.
And the arm is rewired with cardas wire and a 5 pin din plug so can use any phono cable too.
It's a keeper....yes I know, famous last words!😇 |
John Fullbright "Songs"
Ain't that a great title? (think about it....)
I know @spiritofradio and I had a good connection with artists like this. |
Jean-Luc Ponty - The Gift of Time. Unsealed 1987 pressing.

Widespread Panic / 'Til the medicine takes |
Lucinda Williams "Ghosts of Highway 20" |

World Party / Private revolution |
I have to spin some UFO tonight. RIP Pete way. |
WHAT?????
When did Pete Way pass?
Very Sad indeed.
Was sitting looking at some UFO tapes earlier.
Just read about it, hung n for couple months, a fighter till the end.
RIP Pete Way.
Guess it has to be UFO, Fastway and Waysted later then. |
I remember the first time I saw UFO, that was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Pete was one of the best bass players I've ever seen perform live. |
|
The The – Mind Bomb (Epic 1989)
Essential album. This actually gave me tinnitus.
|
Never ever got to see UFO😭😭.
Did See MSG twice though so Schenker And Way at their prime.
Obsessions ..... UFO. |
The Spinanes / Arches & aisles |
I saw them twice Uber. Once with Way and Schenker, and once without. Night and day. |
