Long day....but....this came today....
The Allman Brothers - Eat a Peach. Capricorn, reissue, probably 1974.
Surprised, but this was recorded/engineered a little flat. Switched my trusty iFi Mini Tube 2 to push-pull mode, and that helped bring some punch to it.
Pretty nice condition of this set though. Pleased to have it in the collection. |
The Po-lice... Synchronicity |
Yes and let us not forget Some Girls cover ... ha
Puritan was the correct turn of phrase |
The Marcus King Band - S/T
reminds me of Tedeschi/Trucks, Allmans, some Government Mule...
fun |

Another new arrival today....
Pablo Casals in Concert. Schubert - String Quartet in C Major / Beethoven - Trio in B flat, Trio in C Minor, and Sonata for Piano and Cello. Murray Hill 1972. 3 LP box set.
The vinyl in this box looks unplayed. Excellent condition and great recordings. Nice and ‘raw’ but nicely mic’d and recorded. Feel like you are there.
Just realized I already have the Schubert in this set on a single album, but this may sound a tad better. Nice. |
Allman Bro. - Fillmore ( MFSL )...... |
@tomic601 Allman Bro. - Fillmore That one is arriving Thursday. ;-) ......Eat a Peach.....it was mostly side 1 that sounded a bit flat. Interesting. Mountain Jam does kick some butt. |

New phono stage(s) coming Monday for me to listen to and decide on. Very excited.
I need some help deciding what to listen to. Thoughts?
I have rock, classical, jazz, opera, and a bunch of old mom music from my aunt and mother-in-law. I'd be up for buying a new album or two for the occasion.
Who concert spinning on my table this afternoon through just now:
Who are you
Who's Next
Quadrophenia
Tommy
The kids are Alright
Live at Leeds |
I'd say play stuff you enjoy that you're very familiar with. |
Depends, was Mom a flower child Dead Head in the Sixties ?
just kidding :-) congrats on phono stage - I agree with Steve - something you know well that moves you - enjoy

I have my own records from the 60s. |
Coincidentally, just this past Monday I placed on backorder the Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East. This one is the Mercury, QRP pressing, 200 gram, 4-record set. I have never had this album in my collection so I figured the best choice would be to get the edition with the extra cuts (thus, the 4-record set). And I have had excellent results with every QRP pressing. Very quiet and very flat vinyl. I look forward to receiving this and hope the backorder isn't too long to fulfill.
Before dinner yesterday...
John Mayall "The Turning Point"
Grover Washington Jr. "Limelight"
The new speakers are breaking in nicely. Grover's saxophone really sounds like a saxophone. Just as it should be! |

@ctwith3
by all means, play your own favorite and familiar, especially the records in your collection from the pre-digital era. |
I own three A B "Live at Fillmore East", a brown Capricorn that was put in the "to sell pile" long ago, The Classic Records & a pink label Capricorn. It's been a while but I think I liked both in their own different ways.
My only "Eat a Peach" is the Abbey Road 1/2 speed from a few years ago. The louder you turn it up, the better it sounds. |
So much to choose from. I have albums I love that I bought starting in 1968. |
I have Van Morrison albums back order since late last year.
Spinning now: Frampton comes alive

James - I heard some of that yesterday as was out w buddy auditioning speakers and amp for him.... his tastes are how I came to know Massive and A Perfect Circle, etc... |
I think the production values and SQ on A Perfect Circle’s records are pretty good. |

Five Guys Named Moe - S/T (RCA BMG 1990)
Scottish indie band that only lasted one album. Mixed bag. Better songs sung by the female band member. |
"Wallflower" is somewhat muffled but still enjoyable partly due to the great selection of songs she covers. |
Mark Knopfler "Privateering" |
The Lennon Sisters – Our Favorite Songs (Pickwick 33 1965)
Sixties pop with great sound quality. In the room. Magic. |
