Whats on your turntable tonight?


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
slipknot1
Tooba Blooze - S/T. I Wanna Records 1990.

Stumbled across this in my racks. Saw this band live at a small club. Impressed, bought their LP being sold at the show.

Haven’t played this in years. Fun stuff.
@spiritofradio
I have not ,but will check them out.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I want to give you all another Album that IMO is Damn good.
It is a compilation of Players, or Groups from the RED HOT 2018 Jazz scene, in London, with groups like..... Kokoroko, Ezra Collective, Shebaka Hastings. Nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd , Joe Armon Jones
It is called "We Out Here"


Gregory Alan Isakov "The Weatherman" after it’s much deserved deep clean.

What a difference a deep clean can make....
Steppenwolf  "Monster"  Had to spin this again before filing it away.  Side 2 is my favorite musically and seems to be the best in SQ as well.

Christopher Cross S/T  I received this last year as a gift.  A Japanese pressing with OBI.  The music is very "studio" sounding, but nice.  The SQ is really good.

John Mayall & Friends "Along for the Ride"  I had this on order for a few months and it finally released and arrived yesterday.  John got a lot of friends to join him making this double album.  To name a few, Gary Moore, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Billy F Gibbons, Steve Miller, John McVie... The music is fabulous, produced and pressed in Germany, the mixing/mastering/plating/pressing/vinyl quality are all superb.  Super quiet, black background, SQ is excellent!  If you are a fan of John Mayall this is one to add to your collection.  At only $23 it's a hands-down bargain.  Highly recommended.
@slaw Have you heard the Price "Piano and a Microphone 1983" album? Raw, unfiltered Prince, really fun. I particularly like "Cold Coffee and Cocaine." (Figured I should put that title in quotes)
@mammothguy54,

That JM sounds like it would be great!

cal3713,

I’ve read that Prince lp is great. Thanks for reminding me.
@grey9hound Just looked up the album on Amazon and added it to my Tidal albums for storage. I love the reviews... "This music slaps!"
@waltersalas,

Thanks for reminding me of "Rainy Day Music"...always been a favorite of mine. Up now.
I know this may shock you,

Earl Wild
Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2
Jascha Horenstein conducting,
The Royal Philharmonic

Chesky Records

Bought this over 30 years ago, just deep cleaned.....
Listening to side one, what strikes me is.
there is the dynamics when called for yet there is also a sense of mellowness otherwise.

Side two up next.....
Side two starts out dynamically...however it isn't a wide soundstage. Mostly everything is centered.
The piano hasn't wavered once. I credit this to the recently installed SOTA system
The Nash Ensemble - The Chamber Music Of Malcolm Arnold - 1. Hyperion 1986
Heifetz - Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with Reiner and The Chicago Symphony. RCA Red Seal repress in stereo, probably from the late 60’s. Originally 1957.
Nicanor Zabaleta - Works for Harp and Orchestra. Jean Martinon conducting Orchestre National De France. Deutsche Grammophon 1970, German pressing.
