Weather Report - S/T, 45 RPM Pallas pressing. |
Thanks Greg and Steve - she had been my near constant companion in retirement- I don’t imagine ever fully healing... she was 17 and 8 months |
Isaac Hayes "Hot Buttered Soul" MFSL |
@tomic601
Logged on to check in as I was otherwise engaged.
So sorry on your old pal's passing. We had a lab as part of our family. Lived 17 years. The only time I saw my father weep.

And weep we shall
thanks Brian |

Finally.... took me a bit.. A Trusting Soul - Record Review - Volume I:
This LP ( Coral CRL 57475 ) should be saved for a darkened room, candles, sound level on medium with a great cocktail in hand. Drag the loveseat and your better half into the “sweet spot”. Make her favorite drink, does she have pearls ? Recorded over Mardi Gras 1964/1965 it has a hip but very laid back feel. Bandleader Godfrey Hirsch ( vibes ) with NOLA standards a nod to Brazil, some swing and blues in the mix. Sonics are excellent with quiet room ambience and separation without hyper sterility so often found in more modern multi-tracking efforts. I came away thinking the Lyra was a bit too analytical for this recording- it is probably better left to something more dynamic like the Decca of @noromance who recommend this fine disc. Enjoyable none the less and a “ keeper”. |

Vic Chesnutt "West of Rome" RSD
Vic is/was certainly a personal choice, yet a great artist. Even Cowboy Junkies covered his songs on one of their lps.
"WOR" is an awesome album ! |
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours, 45 RPM |
Steve Earle "The Low Highway" |
Was suffering myself last night with a trapped nerve in my neck ,little better today but that is why I did not see your posts last night.
Really sorry on the passing of your faithful friend Jim, it hurts I know, watched two dogs pass and said no more.
Hopefully he is now chasing bones and sticks in the sky!
Take care my friend. |
Buddy & Julie Miller "Breakdown on Twentieth Avenue South" |
Got the records in I ordered off Etsy, they look in very good condition.
The Rubinoos "S/T" advertised as 1st pressing
Norman Greenbaum "Back Home Again" WLP
Stephen Stills "2" pp
Neil Diamond "Taproot Manuscript" pp
Patti Page "I've Heard That Song Before" mono/pp
@noromance,
The PP lp I bought because you had mentioned her recently. This is a mono period pressing and very clean. |
Tim and Kevin - thank you |
Doc Evans at the Gaslight - remastered 6/1973 Audiophile Records AP-95
very fine recording, tight performance |
Big Noise from Winnetka ( track 1, side 2 ) is worth the price of admission as they say....
@noromance turned me on to Doc via this thread.... grateful |
Rising Appalachia "Wider Circles" |
I'm lovin' "Wider Circles"
"Monovision" is in the Vibrato |
Steve - I don’t think it’s his best writing but I love Monovision |
Stuck in Traffic again - Loving the Box set... love, love, love it !!!
Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die |
@tomic601 ,
That Traffic box is superb! |
|
Jim,
Maybe it's just me but Ray reminds me of Joe Cocker in his vocals at times. That's a compliment. |
Wooden Wand / Get right with goddess |
|
@tomic601 ,
I'm on side two of Monovision and absolutely love it! I think it's his best/in awhile. It harkens back to his first 3 great records. |
|
Low spark is however the worst pressing quality due to a funky plastic sleeve to allow/facilitate the angled cuts of the over art ... ugh... |
It’s up next Slaw for a revisit but it’s truer to his first three than his last two prior to Monovision... good to see him back from the Beck Morning Phase phase as it were.., |
"the Beck morning phase", good point. |
Rainmaker ( my fave song ) is unplayable... argh |
Ray LaMontagne- Monovision |
Why unplayable? If I can help, let me know. |
|
Stephen Stills "2" ( beautiful ) |
Steve it’s like a vinyl dam, I will spot clean it ( I already enzymatic and regular cleaned it ) and have sent vendor a note - thanks buddy |
The Black Heart Procession – One (SDRL Records 2016 LE White[1998])
Saw them perform this album live. Very special gig. |
The problem with box sets is they will not replace a defective lp. You have to return the entire box. SAD! |
Crosby and Nash - Wind on the Water
enzyme then regular clean |
Castanets Vs Ero / Dub refuge |
Norman Greenbaum in the Vibrato |
Dealing with vinyl is a love/hate relationship. I happen to love it more. |
|
The scales of love / hate are a ruthless B.... |
This Mortal Coil – Filigree & Shadow (4AD 1989)
|
Bowie / Station to station |
JJ Cale OP on Shelter - Troubadour reran this thru enzyme then a normal clean cycle .... wow, will order a gallon of Nitty Gritty enzyme on Monday |
Jim,
Glad you're back to the TT! |
BTW, my Shelter pressing wasn't close in SQ to my APO of Troubadour.
