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
Just got in from a 4 day long weekend ski trip and found the LP "Underground Soul" from Houston Person was delivered while I was gone. (Thanks USPS). I found a nice original 1967 mono pressing on eBay and got it for a song IMHO. Anyway, put it on and was very impressed.

For any of you soulful jazz fans out there, Houston Person is THE man. Check out the song "Underground Soul" from his debut 1967 album or his solo on Joey DeFrancesco's - "Live at the 5 Spot" on "Moonlight in Vermont". 

Great stuff......

photodusty, 

I love "All This Useless Beauty". Great album. I just bought tickets to see Elvis Costello this summer on the "Imperial Bedroom and Other Chambers Tour". Can't wait. Got great seats. Just saw Elvis late last year at the Ryman Theater in Nashville. Almost Holy experience......

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine - 1999 Remixed Songtrack LP. I just picked this up today, and I love it.

Try the remixed long version of "It's All Too Much". WOW!


Dave Mason - "Along Together" MCA11319 Re-Issue on 180 Gram vinyl. Very nice!

A great album. reubent. The vinyl of the original 1970 pressing was a "mottled" splatter of colors, gray and pink mostly. Is the reissue as well? Great songs, great musicians (including the amazing drummer Jim Gordon, of Derek & The Dominoes). The actual title is Alone Together.
@bdp24 ,

Thanks, I made a typo in my post. Of Course it is "Alone Together. The MCA Re-Issue is solid black. It does sound great.
reubent, bdp24,

I have the same lp. ."Remastered directly from the original master tapes without noise suppression or bass roll-off"... according to the lp jacket

reubent,

Is your Yellow Submarine" on yellow vinyl? If so, I have it as well.
Uncle Tupelo  "No Depression"

Bob Weir  "Blue Mountain"

Tanita Tikaram  "Closer to the People"

Lynyrd Skynyrd  "Gimme Back My Bullets"  (Friday Music)
Mr Bob Dylan - biography 
I am lazy by nature so shy away from records ( to much  prep  , up & down 
Just got back into records after many a year excellent separation  one of the best sounding in my collection 
I am open to all music that is recorded  correctly 
Any recommendations would be appreciated 
I'll try, since you mentioned Bob, check out "The Original Mono Recordings" box set (wonderful), + "Oh Mercy",

Suzanne Vega "Solitude Standing"
Chris Isaak (any)

Afraid to go much further without knowing your likes. Maybe another thread?


Went to my local record store today and picked up the following in the used bins:

Gary Wright - The Dream Weaver
Gerry Rafferty - City to City
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love

Paid $3.99 -$4.99 for each. All are in excellent condition and sound pretty fantastic. I've listened to them all this evening. I love my local record store.........
James Mcmurtry and the Heartless Bastards - "Live in Aught Three" .... Again. So Good.......
reubent,

It took me those two times to finally check it out. It's in my "wishlist".

How does your "City to City" sound? I put my MFSL copy in my "to sell" pile over a year ago. I've changed a lot since so I'm going to re-listen.
@slaw - The Jame McMurty record is a winner IMHO. I'm a huge fan of good Alt-Country and Americana and this one pushes those buttons.

I like "City to City". I'm not thrilled with the sound quality. It sounds a bit thin and the production is nothing special. However, I like the music very much, so I tolerate it.

Happy Weekend!
Father John Misty  "Pure Comedy". If you're a fan, you'll be happy with his latest. Very nice SQ.  (I find Sub Pop's QC to be spotty).
reubent,

I own "Too Long in the Wasteland" but that's it. I really love great live recordings!

If you haven't already, check out Ryan Bingham. His lps have some noisy pressing issues and are slightly bass heavy but I still enjoy them.
@slaw - I've got Ryan Bingham's - "Mescalito" on CD. I've only listened to it once, then put it on the shelf for a year or two. I'll try to re-visit it in the next couple of days and let you know what I think of it.
On the TT tonight.....

Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live  - Analogue Productions Re-Issue - Nice!

Pete Townshend - White City - 1985 original pressing

Pete Townshend - Face The Face / Hiding Out 12" Single - This includes the extended live version of "Face the Face" from the short movie - White City

@slaw - Thanks for the reminder regarding Ryan Bingham. I played "Mescaline" last night and I'm listening to it again tonight. It's fantastic. Great Alt-Country/Americana. And the CD recording is very good. Right in my wheelhouse.....
