For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
@spiritofradio Jethro Tull, A Passion Play, is one of my favorite Tull albums. It never really got the attention it deserved, IMO. A warm and smooth recording, not bright at all, but still plenty of detail. I have an original copy from when it was first released. In perfect condition, plays and sounds great.
Beethoven String Trio in G, Op. 9 The Chamber Music Society Of Lincoln Center The Classics Record Library 1974
on recommendation from Brian. 4- Record Box of Mint for $7 I think. Tremendous chamber music, some rarely recorded , great production and SQ (It’s Hear the Hall kind of production). Thanks Brian @bkeske
Fantastic James. Glad you are enjoying it. A real ‘sleeper’ IMO, and yes, I love the recording too, it really makes you feel like you are in the hall.

Note*** I started recording my playlist on 4/14 of this year. Have played 332 albums only 3 have been repeated, Marlena Shaw-Is It Love. Played side A 6/16 side B 10/25. Sergio Franchi/I'm A Fool To Want You side 2 5/19 side 1 8/9. Steely Dan/Gaucho side A 2X 5/10 7/28 Are the Babylon Sisters responsible for my repeat? My vinyl collection is around 1400 approx, 50 are in poor condition(Toss) 75 are multiple copies and another 50 i have no interest in. So that gives me around 1200+ albums so in a 7 month period i have spun over 27% of my vinyl collection which is of modest size, Just want to make a point not all audiophiles play the same 50 or so albums over and over!
@dayglow Nice post. I have about 2,000 records and decided it's time to thin the herd. I am going through them all to make sure I have them all in the Discogs database and am eliminating some that I will probably never play again along with as many of the duplicates as I can. This may take a while. I've made it to the Beach Boys so far.
Thx to all that have responded! This idea of posting what I play came indirectly from my wife. I had purchased about 60 albums from an early spring garage sale and she said you plan on opening a record store? Obviously 1000+ albums does not make a record store but to a non audiophile its about 900 albums you don’t need. This made me think how many albums is to many and how long would it take to play all of them? In 7 months twice a week(a few missed days) 6-8 albums sides has totaled 329 albums, so roughly over 2 years to play 1 side of every album in my collection. In conclusion, for me the sweet spot is never exceeding 1500 albums and then consider many of us have an equal amount(approx. 1000) of compact discs.
Have to confess, Until recently reminded about this recording I’d forgotten how good the music is, especially for the period, but beyond that I don’t think I was ever aware of how exceptional the sonics are. Wow. So cool.
