@reubent +1 on Holdsworth. Man can he play. Did you see the recent RSD re-issue of Road Games? I got it and it’s pretty sweet. I know I asked you about his one record with Soft Machine. Do you have the Tempest album? Oh man. Here I go. |
@spiritofradio - I checked out the Soft Machine album and it did nothing for me. I’m probably a loser.....
I'll check out "Tempest" to see if I can get some mojo back. |
I doubt it
who’s Whart @tomic601 ? |
Make sure to stream Tempest in super delux high res |
Spirit, Not Barry Manilow?
Death Vessel / Island intervals |

@spiritofradio: I don’t know about the separate LP and CD issues, but the 50th anniversary deluxe boxset of Stage Fright comes out on Feb.12. It will include a live show from 1971, a show Robertson says is one of the best The Band ever did. I saw them in 1970 at The Berkeley Community Theater, and they were BY FAR the best Rock ’n’ Roll ensemble I’ve seen and heard live (and I’ve seen a lot, including The Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who with Keith Moon, Hendrix, Cream, The Jeff Beck Group, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Rockpile, Little Village, NRBQ, Dylan, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, The Crickets, and hundreds more). More like a Jazz group than a Rock one. The box will include a recording Robertson, Danko, and Manuel made in a hotel room, new at-the-time unrecorded songs available for the first time. The album is being remixed from the original multi-tracks, a great idea. I’ve never liked the sound Todd Rundgren produced. Hiring him was a terrible idea, and Levon took a real dislike of Todd. The Stage Fright song running order will be not the one used all these years, but its original intended order. I have a first pressing American copy of SF (mastered by Bob Ludwig), a first pressing UK copy, and the Mofi, plus a couple of Capitol CD’s and the Mofi SACD, but can’t wait for this box! By the way, whart is Bill (William) Hart’s Audiogon moniker. Bill lives in Austin, has a couple of great hi-fi systems, and eclectic taste in music. Plus a very interesting website. Real nice fella, too. |

@bdp24 yep. Maybe it was just an email about preorders showed up today. But yeah it sounds pretty good doesn’t it. Thanks for the details.
Re: tempest. Is 1973 Warner bros. Self titled. It’s black on the top half of the cover with this flame colored weather pattern below. I think he only made one record with those guys, not totally certain. It’s on the heavy side for holdsworth. Great tone and great licks. Like if John McLaughlin was in Mountain. |
@bdp24 you're right about the date. Pre-orders open. Pop Market has the comprehensive set for $119. Looks really nice. |
@boxer12, I dunno, did Barry write songs about palm trees and tropical umbrella drinks? |

@almosthome - Welcome to the "What's on your Turntable Tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming... |
@almosthome - Caldera, that’s with Alex Acuña of Weather Report fame, right? Great stuff.

Spirit, Probably?
Swans / Leaving meaning |
Steve Miller Band - Book of Dreams |
Finally received this today. Bought and shipped to me about a month ago, from someone in my own city. Yikes.
Have the mono version of this, so was looking forward to the stereo reissue. Sounds great, but the vinyl, although looks good, is a bit noisy. I would imagine the previous owner did not keep their stylus in the best shape. Perhaps.
Szell conducts Brahms piano concerto #2. The Cleveland Orchestra with Leon Fleisher, piano. Odyssey 1973 (mono recording 1962).
I will say, the mono version from Epic stands up well to this.

Harry James-Still Harry After All These Years Side 1 PF 4.6 SQ 4.8
Played the vinyl last night and noted the SQ but was just to tired for posting. Thought I would also grade the performance. I had the most difficulty grading the sound of the Rick Dufay album. It was recorded using the 3M system(The Record Plant Studio C) and mastered by Bernie Grundman using the 3M system at A&M. Clearly not at the same SQ level of Steely Dan-Gaucho(3M system) but the 3.9 might be on the low side, need to listen to the complete album. I’m sure some will disagree with my SQ ratings but let me know if I’m way off the mark with SQ or PF. |

I have an early pressing of Gaucho and it is EXCELLENT SQ!
The news about our Capital is so sad and disheartening. I think that my blood pressure went up a bit today. I had to play some softer and relaxing music.
Tim Weisberg, "Dreamspeaker"
Grover Washington, Jr. "Winelight"

All are very good SQ and nice mood music. |
