There’s a great interview of Rick Rubin on YouTube, in which he details his work with Petty, starting with the Wildflowers album. He mentioned they recorded enough songs (Rick says 26-28) for a double album, but Warner Brothers didn’t want to release it as a double. I presume the boxset will include all the recordings they made for the album. |
uberwaltz +1 on John Mayall, 'Turning Point' I just got a copy of that in NM/M- condition because the one I had (since high-school) was unplayable. Awesome music, all without a drummer. I saw John Mayall twice. The first time was in Anaheim, CA. and was the very concert tour that made Turning Point. The Anaheim show was about two months after the Turning Point recording, which was done on the East Coast. Thought I'd share that story. By the way, the lead act for that show was Spirit and the opening act was Mark-Almond (John Mark and Johnny Almond were two musicians of the John Mayall band and played on that set as well). What memories! |
Found time to listen to Norah Jones, Day Breaks, double LP https://www.discogs.com/Norah-Jones-Day-Breaks/release/11061238 1st disc, Studio; 2nd LP live small Loretto theater NYC, 4 years ago. (I’ve never been there, but looks like a terrific size. I’d try balcony, front and center https://www.sheencenter.org/venues/ like the similarly sized Victoria Theater at NJPAC., grear sound and sight for photographs. https://www.njpac.org/visit/our-spaces/ As they said, return to her roots, piano based low key jazz, her beautiful voice and unique touch on the keys. I definitely preferred the Live disc, very respectful crowd, but, I realized, it was too bunched up, I widened my toe-in, that gave a very nice distinction of separate instruments and their locations, like a small stage. I’m going to go back to the 1st studio LP, see how things change with wider toe-in. Previously, a different LP, I needed to adjust them ’in’ for a recording that was un-naturally wide. Speakers on wheels to the rescue, combined with remote balance, can make big differences. I often adjust my single listening default toe-in for a wider center when I have a friend over for a listening session, if 3 people, I sit just behind them, centered. I’m gonna play with toe-in when the center is correct, but all bunched up. You gotta avoid creating the world’s widest piano, that sucks. |
@elliottbnewcombjr, Got in the three Appalachia Rising lps today. Having broken the seal yet but all look perfect. The Loreto Theatre is slightly smaller but a similar set-up as my local theatre carolinatheatre.com Greensboro |
Guys, I've been busy riding bikes, buying bikes, selling bikes, building bikes........ Typical obsessive stuff, you know, like LPs and LP Playback gear. Still trying to get in 2000 miles this summer and also keep my 16 year old interested in the hobby. I've been listening to music, but mostly streaming for convenience. Haven't spent much time in the cave lately, so very few LPs. Also, my best LRS is curbside pickup only. What's the fun in that? I'll be back when the days get shorter and it gets cooler. Until then, Enjoy the Music (on vinyl). |
Greg I agree w sentiment of buying direct from artist :-) good ya! the Cowboy junkies sent me email this week - Open is being released on vinyl for first time ( preorder ) and they announced they had restocked some out of stock LP’s ( Crescent Moon / Pale Sun ), so I went direct and they wanted $60 to ship 3 LP’s... so I went to Amaz Smile where at least some of the $ goes to charity of my choice |
Raymond Leppard conducts Handel - Concerto Grossi Op 3, Alexander’s Feast and Hornpipe overtures + a third ‘bonus’ LP. English Chamber Orchestra. 3 LP box set. Philips, made in Italy 1972, but seems to have been a US release by The Carnegie Hall Selection Committee. This set is almost mint, and really very nice recordings thus far. |
