@cincinnatipete - Welcome to the "
What's on your turntable tonight?" thread, the best thread on AudiogoN!
I'm a Cincinnati guy too. I like your picks........ |
Thanks; Cincinnati is kind of lucky to have two fairly large record stores. George Winston kind of a recent discovery for me, nice music for an evening fire with the dogs.
Wish I had joined this forum years ago. |
New acquisition arrived today...
Leo Kottke - Mudlark. Columbia reissue, probably 1972. Originally 1971.
Another vinyl in fantastic shape. |
@cincinnatipete - Have you been to Plaid Room Records in Loveland, OH? Great record store IMHO and really nice people. |
@reubent hey Tom, I buy from Plaid Room through Discogs pretty often. They have what I want many times and at pretty good prices. |
@spiritofradio - Hey James. Wow, small world. Plaid Room is my LRS of choice. Great guys with a fun story regarding how they came to be. They also have a record label - Colemine Records, re-issue old records and have a few new artist that they produce and distribute.
Makes me happy that you are a customer for them. You're spending you money with the good guys...... |
I've bought a lot of stuff from Plaid Room's online store also. |
Cool. Love hearing about this kind of thing. I don’t think I’m giving away any secret sources (new records after all) my 3 go to discogs sellers with the best prices and good packaging are PopMarket, Record Mule, and Plaid Room. I think I’ve posted about these before.
There is a small independent here in Portland, Clinton Street Records, that also runs a label. I try to support him and buy the stuff he issues. He has lots of good used records too. My favorite here in Portland though is Music Millennium. As I’m certain Greg knows, It’s a pretty special place, and has been for a long time. I spend way too much money in there. One thing I like is that they stay open really late and I can haunt the isles in there for hours. Check it out if you’re ever out this way. |
In case you didn’t get the news today, Chick Corea died on Tuesday. Cancer. Going to play his solo piano albums 1 & 2 tonight.
|
Yea, sad indeed. Damn cancer.
Got to see Chick and Pat Metheny play at a bar, of all places, in Columbus (German Village area) back in the late 80’s. Fun evening, and found myself very lucky to see both of them in such a intimate setting.
God speed Chick.

Another acquisition that arrived in the mail today....
Sir Neville Marriner conducts Bach - The Art of Fugue. Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields. Philips 2LP box set. European pressing 1975.
Close to mint condition, - except- the old foam dividers disintegrated (removed at one time) in the box and some material got on/embedded two sides in a couple small areas, so I did some careful cleaning to remove as best I could. Hopefully it all plays through well. I’ve heard some very good things about this set. |
can’t trust any of those Ohio guys...oh well.
RIP Chick, i am playing some of his stuff today also.... |
@bkeske Brian,
Joni is releasing lps from her archives. I mentioned the "Live @ Canterbury House _ 1967" a while back. It's a wonderful three lp set presented beautifully. |
Warming up with Iron Butterfly "Metamorphosis" WLP |
@#$&$#@........after warmup, the Ref system just destroys .... a real first world problem
on deck Romantic Warrior |
Yep, we're real troublemakers...... |
......a first world privilege,.
Must have been the MyMat scraps. |
@slaw ha!,,,, what else did you expect from Ohio troublemaker? no scraps deployed North. i did bring a brick and scraps and all 3 South bricks now have mymat under. i got them installed hours before leaving...
will advise IF it’s enough to fix Warren Haynes.....stay tuned.... |
Chick Corea / Return to Forever – Light as a Feather |
@reubent I am from Huron ( hatched ) |
There is no fixing my Gov’t Mule record issued by Blue Note. Love WH but his record sounds appalling.

@tomic601 - How much time did you spend at Cedar Point growing up? |
Chick Corea & Bela Fleck "Two" |
Leonard Cohen – Dear Heather (Music On Vinyl 2012)
|
Steve I played Corea / Fleck - The Enchantment today off server...
sad....... |
Warren Haynes featuring Railroad Earth - Ashes and Dust, which is sounding great......
and Steve is correct, Man in Motion has some grit and compression in the mids , evident on certain of the multi track bits, but not all. i was graced to catch this tour live in a super smal venue and he tore it up, youthful enthusiasm on my part, fond acoustic memory..... |
@slaw
Thanks for the heads-up on Live At Canterbury House Steve. Seems you can pick it up new for about $50. Not bad.
I’m still waiting on Clouds and Seagul to arrive in the next couple days, then need to find Blue. Can’t believe I never bought any of these albums over the years.....but am now. |
Dire Straits Brothers in Arms/Communiqué. |
That’s my favorite DS @devildog1316 |
Can’t believe I finally put a wayward album together with a wayward cover today while reorganizing some albums. Had the cover, no album. Put the album in the shelves without its cover, but couldn’t figure out what it was. Well, turns out the album cover, and song list, don’t match the album and the song list on the label. I remember that now, but not when I was trying to figure out where the other half of each went, lol.
And, it turns out this is worth a bit on today’s market.
The Warlocks - S/T. Otherwise known as the Grateful Dead a couple years later. Recorded in 1965. My copy is on the Creative Music label, and came out in 1980, but there are a couple other versions on other small labels. Covers are essentially the same for each.
Anyway, since I finally remarried the vinyl and cover, thought I’d spin it.... |
Doc Evans And His Dixieland Band – Muskrat Ramble (Audiophile 1959)
|
John Coltrane - Ascension. A little smooth jazz for the evening. |
Dawn Of The Century Ragtime Orchestra – Silks And Rags (Arcane 1972)
|
Valerie Carter - Wild Child ( Vinyl on the vintage system ) |
@reubent actually a decent part of my youth, worked summers there Junior and Senior year. Crazy fun, low wages, working w University chicks.....Concerts at Blossom.... connect the dots. My fave coaster - The Blue Streak. |
The Beatles – Abbey Road (Apple 2019 RM Ani)
|
Chicago IX - CBS Mastersound half-speed mastered. Meh.
|
Jimmy Page and The Black Crows
Live at the Greek... my wife loves me. Christmas present! |
Manasas- Bad A !!!!! The LiL CC-2 lights ain’t blinking.... yet !!!!
|
Tony Joe White - Bad Mouthin..... 45 rpm, white lightning vinyl.....
thru a 1965 Mac MX-110Z
dedicated to @elliot |
Joni Mitchell "Wild Things Run Fast" 1982/Geffen |
The Black Crowes - Warpaint. I don't think I really gave this its due when I first bought it, it's quite a good record. |
@tomic601 - CC-2? Do you have an Audionics CC-2 Amplifier? I had 2 back in the day early/mid-eighties. I first got one and ran it in stereo. Later bought another and ran them bridged. Loved those amps. I also had the matching Audionics BT-2 pre-amp. These were a rocking combo with my Clements Audio RT-7 speakers (true ribbon tweeter/transmission line bass).
Yes, I was "all that" back in the day. Living in a lake house with the boat in a covered dock in the back yard. Not sure when it all started turning for the worse. Probably about the time my hair started thinning........ ;~) |
Son Volt "Notes of Blue"
This is my fourth copy. Love this record! |
@slaw - Hey Steve! I love "Notes of Blue". Curious, why do you have 4 copies? |
Tom,
Every copy I received was warped. When I put them through the ORB, even on a reduced time setting, they got "orange peeled". This is what I call how records look when they become overheated. This goes to show ( me) that records aren't of the same composition. |
|
Dawn Landes "Meet Me at the River"
Yep Roc
Beautiful record. |
Ray LaMontagne "Monovision" |
Tom I do have a CC-2, great LiL amp and wish I had a BT-2. |
