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

Hilary Hahn Bach.Concertos

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

Jeffery Kahane

Deutsch Grammophone

I found a MINT copy of this LP a few weeks ago which didn’t break my monthly vinyl budget (much) and have been playing it a LOT.

My son, a multi-instrument musician and drummer (ahem) has also given a listen on several occasions despite it being “antique music.”

Here’s power.

@noromance 

I heard some of it on YT. Sounds great. What's the vinyl like?

It’s really nice Brian. Didn’t clean mine first, as I was anxious to hear it. A slight bit of crackle between songs, but that may minimize further or go away after a cleaning.

Genesis – Selling England By The Pound (Atlantic 1973 RE 1981 Canada)

I don't remember the recording/pressing sounding this average.

@bdp24 I did see both bands, maybe why I have second LPs by both of them? Ha! Just great power pop, like you said. Plenty of Power Pop/New Wave bands played PDX back in the day. Cheap shows, small venues. Valhalla.

I was so close to the low stage at a Motels show, I think I could’ve hugged Martha Davis. Sigh.

 

Excellent @bslon!

Did you get to see either The Plimsouls or The Beat live? Power Pop at it’s finest!

The final time I saw The Plimsouls---at a tiny dive on Ventura Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley, the opening band was one whose name was unfamiliar to me. As they played their opening number my gal and I turned our heads and looked at each other in astonishment. It was Los Lobos, and they were utterly fantastic!

I saw The Beat live a few times at The Whiskey on Sunset Blvd., and they were as dynamic a live band as The Who, one of the best Rock ’n’ Roll bands I’ve ever seen. After their breakup (with only two albums to their credit), my gal and I were hitting all the vintage clothing stores on Melrose in L.A., and found Beat drummer Mike Ruiz (debut album only) manning the cash register at one. I don’t know why he left the band after only one album, and was never again seen on stage (by me at least).
