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
James posted spinning this not long ago. It’s been on my ‘want list’ for a while, and finally picked one up. My friends had this back in the day, but I had never purchased it.
It's A Beautiful Day - S/T. Capitol reissue 1970, originally 1969
Ha! It gets better. Currently on the slab: Schubert / Beethoven : Berliner Philharmoniker · Herbert von Karajan – Symphonie Nr. 8 Unvollendete/ Fidelio · Leonore III · Coriolan (Ouvertüren) (Deutsche Grammophon 1971)
Johnny Cash - The Fabulous Johnny Cash - Impex - extremely good
Holly Cole Trio - Don't Smoke in Bed - AP 33rpm - this record is incredibly well recorded and AP did an awesome job with it but the music is just awful. Awful. Couldn't make it through side 1. If I had not picked it up cheap I would take it back. Awful
Sir John Barbirolli conducts Mahler’s 9th. Berliner Philharmoniker. EMI/His Masters Voice German reissue, originally 1964. 1 1/2 LP gatefold. Unknown release, but guessing, early-mid 70’s.
Holy crap man, that Mahler 9th was amazing. The Adagio grabs you by the throat, gut, an heart, and doesn’t let you ignore it until the music finishes. What an incredible work.
That guy, David LaFlamme (sp) was quite a good musician I think. Hope you enjoyed it. Sort of progressive. Very period.
I did indeed. Had not heard it all the way through since the 70’s. Brought back a lot of memories.
Unfortunately I don’t think that band got a fair shake, but was under bad management. Same manager the Airplane had, and who were prying themselves from when It’s A Beautiful Day hired the guy. He actually wouldn’t allow them to perform in S.F. for quite a while.
I have that album, "It's A Beautiful Day". I bought it new in 1973 and is in perfect condition. One of the best Hippie period albums I own. It sounds really good when played really loud. I just did that a few weeks ago. Lots of fun...
Mentions here about Leo Kottke got me looking for my copies. I was surprised not to find any in my mix. Maybe I lent them out and never got them back? Well, I bought two on Discogs and they should arrive in a few days. S/T and Burnt Lips. $4.99 and $2.99, respectively. NM/M- rating on condition. Maybe they are the ones I had lent out...LOL
@bkeske Streaming the 9th. Chailly Gewandhaus Orchester Leipzig 2013 and Klemperer New Philharmonia Orchestra London 1967.
I have the Chailly Mahler/Royal Concertgebouw CD box set. Very very nice. It’s what lead me to find the 9th on vinyl, as I’ve not had it yet. Very few 9th’s available on vinyl actually.
