Reuben, one of the local record stores had a bunch of really nice condition BOC records so I replaced some of the ones I had that were VG.

Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking. A&M 1973

The SQ on this album always amazes and puts a smile on my face.

Blue Öyster Cult
Eponymous 

@big_greg  - My copy of "On Your Feet" somehow made it unscathed through college. However, my copies of "Spectres" and "Agents of Fortune" didn't. I just replaced them with better copies from my LRS last summer.

Greg, Spirit..., Just checked my scrapbook. Yep, there it was...... The ticket stub from my first rock concert. So glad I kept all that stuff. 

Blue Oyster Cult
Uriah Heep
Jan., 1, 1977
Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY

I even snagged a Lee Kerslake drumstick at that show, but can't seem to find it ATM.

Very cool Reuben! I'm spinning Spectres now. I picked that and Mirrors up also. 

Mark Lanegan / Blues funeral 

Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson - Very Tall. Verve 1962

Barrabas,  S/T 1974.  Thanks again, Slaw, for the recommendation.

Led Zeppelin, 'Physical Graffiti'  My US Original Pressing from 1975.  It's in perfect condition but, still, the production quality (and thus the SQ) leaves plenty to be desired.  Sounds good, but should be better.  What an awesome collection of music.  Led Zeppelin at their best!

Yep @mammothguy54, "PG" is a disappointment SQ wise. I wish they could go back in time and rerecord it.

Blow Up - Isao Suzuki Trio - Impex 45rpm - I love Impex - stunner! 

Midnight Sugar - Tsuyoshi Trio - from Impex box set 45rpm - everyone should source their vinyl from whomever Impex uses. 

Swans / The great annihilator 

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Misty - Impex 45rpm 

Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims, BN 1530

6t5-gto,
Sent the cables out today. You should see them Thursday or Friday

Lee Robinson Machine / Family album

Jeff Beck - "Loud Hailer"

@reubent so cool that you kept tour souvenirs.  I liked to stuff cassette shells with concert tickets by the same band.  

@6t5-GTO those are some fine Impex records.  Music on them is pretty good too.  

Camel
Breathless
Arista 1978 O/P

@spiritofradio  

I liked to stuff cassette shells with concert tickets by the same band.  

Nice! Great idea.

Bummer, the only concert tickets I was holding (rescheduled from last April) was Shovels and Rope at the Ludlow Garage (Clifton/Cincinnati, Ohio). Got the cancellation/refund notice today. I hope this crap ends soon so we can get back to live music.

Caravan
Blind Dog At St. Dunstans
Arista 1977 O/P

Castanets / City of refuge 

Spirit, +1 for Camel. Great band!

Yeah, life without live music has been duller.  I’ll be first in line when a band comes back to town.  Probably though this won’t be the first City to re-open, unless maybe for the Red Army band doing a recital of Marxist favorites.   

Thanks Tim.  Yeah, they are such good players.  This evening I was pretty focused on Andy Ward’s drumming.  He has such great touch.  

Thank you, Boxer 
Looking forward to testing them out! 

+1 6t5-gto

Calexico / Feast of wire

Phish
Sigma Oasis

2nd focused listen and I’m convinced.  This is great.  Really like the homage to Terrapin Station.  

Spirit, I am going to have to check that one out!

Bardo Pond / Guru  

@boxer,  It might take some patience.  To me it didn’t start that strong but after  Listening through a couple of times I’m digging it now.    Giving it another play on IEMs now.  Sometimes I have certain expectations of familiar bands and have to change along with them.  Some evolutions (Joe Walsh for example) I never align to.  This however is great.  

Beatles - Blue Album

Spiritualized
Ladies and Gentlemen We
Are Floating In Space
Fat Possum/Vinyl Me Please 1997/2020

Wow

when you play this on a good system and not on a 192 Mp3 through computer speakers it’s really something else.   

BOSTON…party
the greatest band ever

Was Boston a band?

Sir John Barbirolli conducts Grieg - Peer Gynt. Halle Orchestra & the Ambrosian Singers. Angel 1969

MC, you really didn't know that Boston is a band?  If not then you really missed some good Rock Music from the late 70s/early80s.

Great article.  I love learning something every day.
Thanks for the info.

If Boston always went by 'Boston', what's the issue?

Erich Leinsdorf conducts Beethoven’s ‘Emperor Concerto’ (Piano Concerto #5). Artur Rubinstein, piano. Boston Symphony Orchestra. RCA Red Seal reissue late 1960’s. Originally 1963.
