Krokus - One Vice At a Time |

I typically shy away from classical solo or duo piano works as the recordings can be pretty bad at times, but as this was on a reputable label, I thought they may get the recording right. This isn’t bad at all.
|
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic |
Next....
The Music Group Of London plays Vaughan Williams - String Quartets Nos 1 & 2. EMI/His Master’s Voice 1973 UK

@noromance
How is that Berg Quartet release Brian? Looks like the sole release of that LP. |
Damn, this is by far the best thread on Audiogon!
@slaw: Steve, I have yet to hear PJ Harvey sing (gotta fix that), but when Pearl Harbor debuted her new style and band at The Lava Lounge on Sunset Blvd. about twenty years ago, I was her drummer and harmony singer. Ms. Harvey was there, and Pearl brought her over before our set and introduced us. She was as sweet as could be, not a trace of attitude.
I think I have always perceived PJ as an East Coast-style singer, in the Patti Smith mold, which I don't care for. Only one way to find out, right? I've been feeling adventurous lately, with some hits (Kasey Chambers---whom I already like---with Shane Nickolson. Very good.), some misses (Ys by Joanna Newsom. Cool orchestration by Van Dyke Parks, but that's about it.).

With a nod to my former hometown Detroit,
Duende! "Florence To The Mad Man"
Must Musings "S/T" (label says mono but darn nice recording)
|
@bdp24 so good to see you here Eric ;-)
i head North soon |
Miles Davis - In Person: At the Blackhawk ( Impex 329/2000 ) |
@bkeske Nice clean recording. Literally sounds like Telefunken tubes! Started off musically a little "Austrian" but halfway through one side loosened and warmed up and was enjoyable.
|
@noromance
lol....put it on my ‘wantlist’. |
Coincidently Jim, I'm thinking about making a trip up to Hawthorne Stereo and Seattle-area record stores (High Voltage, for one). I'm all immunized, but everyone in Portland/Vancouver is still wearing masks (no Covid-deniers around here, thank God). One of my (very) little Vancouver LP shops allows only three customers at a time, with a 20 minute browsing limit. Even if no one is waiting to get in. ???!!!. Still, it's worth it; I found half a dozen Emmylou Harris LP's in NM condition, 5-6 bucks each. |
|
Glad you making it through the crisis @bdp24. Have you listened to all those lps you bought yet?
@tomic601,
Is your "At The Blackhawk" , Friday or Saturday night?
|
Not even close Steve! You guys are costing me a lotta dough ;-). I had to go buy three more Ikea EKET cabinets to house all the LP's you guys talked me into buying. I'm loving that there is so much good new music being made (a lot of my old friends insist on ignoring most of it), and great new LP pressings of old albums. The compromises made in Neil Young's early LP pressings have been banished in the new ones---Kenny Buttrey's Sonor bass drum on Harvest now sounds like it should. One of my favorite drum recordings, both the playing and the sound.
Now that I have become accustomed to the price of new LP's, I find them to feel like a much better value than CD's. Plus, the LP is just a different listening experience than is the CD. But I don't need to tell all ya'll that--- I'm preaching to the choir! |
@bdp24 PJ has her own style, I don't even know what I would compare it to. She's a force of nature.
If you visit Hi-Voltage, there are 3 or 4 other record stores within walking distance - Turntable Treasures, Drastic Plastic, and Golden Oldies. Seems like there's one or two more. Hi-Voltage is the best in terms of selection, but they are also one of the highest priced used sellers, but in-line with what you would pay on Discogs and you can see the records before buying. If you pull off in Olympia, Rainy Day Records is just a few minutes off the freeway. Their used selection has been a lot smaller than usual due to the pandemic, but what they have is usually very reasonably priced. |
@bdp24 Damn, this is by far the best thread on Audiogon!
And the most popular, I believe, at nearly 30,000 posts! |
