The Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" German pressing |
Mazzy "She Hangs Brightly" after a deep clean. |
|
Well okay so, Donny Hathaway "self tittled," Al Green "I'm Still In Love With You" & Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book." That's my Sunday morning vibe. Have any of these? It might be a good day to dust one off.
|
Don’t be such a stranger @bgross. I have some Hathaway & Wonder |
Donny Hathaway "Live"
Atlantic/ATL 40 369
German Pressing/1973 |
Since today is the sabbath... Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock 'N' Roll. |
I think I remember that Donny performed at least a couple of theme songs for TV shows, one of them being "Maude". |
Valerie June "The Order of Time" |
|
Been streaming, and checking out some things not in the collection. But, have had this album pulled and sitting in front of my rack for a couple weeks now, so time to put some vinyl on the SOTA....
R.E.M. - Fables Of The Reconstruction / Reconstruction Of The Fables. I.R.S. Records 1985 |
@slaw so hard these days to spend anytime listening. Got some new tubes for my Cary amp so found and excuse... DH does some great duets w/Roberta Flack too. Silky voice & some solid production. Stevie is well, Stevie! |
I think my amps have reached optimal operational sonic enjoyment |
@bkeske Jason Isabel, yep reaching for "Something More Than Free" right now... Children of Children - so powerful! |
Brian,
REM has a history in N C. Mitch Easter had much to do with REM first two lps.
His recording studio is in Kernersvile,...
20 minutes from me. |
There has to be a common thread (guitar) involved with these four, just don’t ask what it is… - Doc Powell – The Doctor (VTL label, OOP)
- Nils Lofgren – Acoustic Live (Boy, do I wish I was at this one.)
- David Lindley and El Rayo-X - Win This Record (hard-to-find import)
- Luiz Bonfa – Softly… (supremely underrated artist, mono recording on Epic)
|
Jason Isbell "Something More Than Free" |
Peter Gabriel - S/T. Atlantic 1978.
Don’t listen to this much. Dunno, I think the overall SQ is lacking. But, giving it another shot today as I rummage through my shelves. |
@slaw
Yep, familiar with the N.C. connection. I’m lucky to have that and Life’s Rich Pageant on vinyl from ‘back in the day’. Both still in incredible condition. The older R.E.M. was the best, to me. |
David Lindley, small venue, acoustic solo, small amp electric, no PA.....just insanely good. |
Jenifer Warnes - The Hunter ( server ) |
Brian Eno - Before And After Science. Island 1977
still one of my fav Eno LP’s. |
David Lindley - Big Twang ( server ) |
When I Last saw Alejandro Escovedo, Mitch was there for the last song.
Was a one year anniversary of David Bowie’s death. |

I've been on and off the turntable due to having other things to accomplish. However, the last few days I have played a number of LPs in the process of evaluating my new double MyMat system. I am relying on very familiar albums so I can best judge between the OEM mat and the MyMat. So far, MyMat has been the best improvement for the least amount spent. In fact, it's quite good and has shown just how poor the OEM mat is. More still to spin and then I will send a summary to slaw.
John Mayall 'Blues From Laurel Canyon'
Frank Zappa 'Apostrophe'

Manfred Mann 'Watch'
Steely Dan 'Gaucho'
Donald Fagan 'The Nightfly'
Stevie Ray Vaughan 'In Step'

Thank you@mammothguy54,
You have just shown how much improvement the MyMat system can make, even on a Rega!
I'd love to read your history on the Member Reviews posts |

The Peter Malick Group - Chance and Circumstance featuring: Norah Jones, Kirsten Proffit, Jess Klein, Mercy Malick and a fave of of few on this thread Antje Duvekot...
Wish this was available on LP, CD on the Marantz Pro will have to do, using the big gun DAC...hardly seems fair.
Malick can play |
@big_greg - "She's Gone". Now there's a great pop song....... |
Stern, Zukerman, & Rose - Mozart, Divertimento In E-flat For String Trio, K. 563. Columbia Masterworks 1975

IMHO, "She hangs brightly" is Mazzy Stars best. Love all their stuff though. Also a +1 for Cat Power's "Jukebox" & Eno's "Before & after science"

Bossa Nova USA by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, 1963 Columbia "2 eye" label stereo. Early pressings are much better than the later reissue. Sounds very nice.
