Sea Level, Oh Yeah! |
@big_greg, will take you up on that. Grey’s Anatomy just had Redmond assigned to her group, consequently we will be through your neighborhood occasionally.
|
Lookie what I found:
Blues Image
Open
Atlantic 1970
|
|
I was surprised that Allmusic only gave Sugarloaf three stars. They did however give Jailbreak five stars, deservedly so. |
In my town if your friend in High School only had about 6 records that was bound to be one of them. |
Donald Fagen - Morph the Cat |
Norah Jones tonight

Beastie Boys

Well, while in my ‘lost albums’ section, I figured I would spin another.....it’s been years....like over 40 I’m sure...
Stoneground - Family Album. WB 2LP set 1971 |
streaming Sea Level, brings back memories.... |
|
James - ya gotta drive right by my exit to get to Redmond....just make sure i am actually....home |
|
guest DJ nite with James and Greg at Poverty Bay Sounds, that would be fun....where did i misplace that vaccine vial ???? |
If you guys like Thin Lizzy, check out the song - "Little Girl in Bloom". Wow! |
@tomic601 I'm going to add a DPDT switch so I can switch between both supplies. I'll then get a better perspective. It's interesting. Changing the power tubes makes huge differences to the presentation. It's a definite improvement in some areas - more holographic, more texture and authority. The downside seems to be a muddling of bass/ drums on more complex material. |

Reading this thread I often times get ideas of what to play, or what to buy. So, Thin Lizzy, hey I think I have one of their albums. I looked (everything is alphabetized) and sure enough, I have one album, 'Bad Reputation'. I bought it new in 1977 and haven't played it in probably 40 years. OK then, I'll clean it and play it later today. I hope the SQ is good. I know that I like the band.
Thanks for another good suggestion! |
String Driven Thing - The Machine That Cried (Charisma 1973)
You know it! A masterpiece. |
Finally done for the day, and a couple ‘new’ LP’s in the mail, first up...
George Weldon conducts Elgar - Cockaigne, Overture, Chanson De Matin And Chanson De Nuit, Pop And Circumstance Marches, & Serenade For Strings In E Minor. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. RCA Victrola 1968

Atlanta Rhythm Section - "Champagne Jam" - MFSL 1-038 in the house! Thanks Discogs!

Very interested in this one which arrived today.
No conductor, just ‘Members of the Berlin Philharmonic’ and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, baritone - Fauré, La Bonne Chanson / Ravel, Chansons Madécasses / Poulenc, Le Bal Masqué. HNH reissue 1977, originally 1976.
Vinyl looks pristine, hopefully it plays the same. |
@noromance @bkeske +1 the Elgar. That is a really nice LP. Elgar is relaxing. Not complex in the least, just entertaining music. |
The Magic Carpathians Project / Ethnoise #1 |
|
That's a great record Tom. I think MOFI did a nice job with that one. |
Had to swap in my mono cart....
Benjamin Britten conducts Britten - Symphony For Cello And Orchestra & Haydn - Concerto In C For Cello And Orchestra. English Chamber Orchestra. London 1964 Mono
Damn, this is a wonderful mono recording. |
PJ Harvey -- "To Bring You My Love Demos" |
Game Theory -- "Lolita Nation" |

miss Tom, RIP
No doubt - tragic!

Lynyrd Skynrd - Street Survivors. Play grading this one as I thought it would go to the bin since I have the MFSL, but this sounds surprisingly good. It's a repress with the modified cover. |
I have the Universal reissue from 20 ? years ago and it sounds great! Has the flame cover. This may be one of those recordings that will always sound good. |
Well Jim, I found a German 1977 pressing with the original cover on Discogs described as NM for a reasonable price, will compare it to the others. Funny, I paid $25 new for the MOFI just 3 years ago, now they are listed on Discogs for over $100. |
Teddy Wilson And His Trio – Mr. Wilson And Mr. Gershwin (Columbia 1959 mono)
|
Well, still have the mono cart on the SOTA, so going to spin some of my mono vinyl this evening. It’s been a while.
This album I have I listened to once. I think it’s a fairly common feeling that not all great conductors are necessarily great composers. And, I wasn’t impressed the first time I listened to this, but, decided to try it again.
Wilhelm Furtwängler conducts Furtwängler - Symphony #2. Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Originally recorded in 1951. Deutsche Grammophon 2LP set, unknown release date. Mono.

Mono
Been wanting to play this set for a while, but waited until I was unlazy enough to mount my mono cart. Just a fantastic recording and performances.
