Jonah Tolchin – Clover Lane (Yep Roc 2014)
Very enjoyable musically. Decent recording for post 1960 but for a sealed album, the vinyl isn’t great. Must US clean it. I’ll test out the CD another day. |
Someone was talking about Boz Scaggs Loan Me A Dime a week or so ago so I thought I would give it a spin. I have it on the Duane Allman Anthology Capricorn Records pressing from 1972 and have to second or third or fourth after the original postings what a great song it is. The SQ is fantastic on this album also. My speakers are about 9' apart and when the vocal kicked in it sounded like it was coming from dead center between the two speakers. Great song! |

Would be interested to hear what you think of the Richard and Linda Thompson reissue.
Miles of Aisles
Joni Mitchell and the LA Express
Asylum 1974.
One of the truly great live recordings IMHO. H/T to Mrs. flennon. |
@flennon Would be interested to hear what you think of the Richard and Linda Thompson reissue. Sounds fantastic, and absolutely quiet as hell. That said, the only version I’ve had in vinyl, so cannot compare this to others. But, I’m pleased with it, and not too expensive either. |
Glad you enjoyed that Noromance
Lambchop / How I quit smoking |

I watched the documentary In Search of Beethoven yesterday and I started this morning at 9:15 EST with Klemperer and Brundel performing piano concertos and I’m now 1/3 of the way into the 9th Symphony in the nine symphony Von Karajan box set from the 1961-1962 recordings. I’m fighting off dinner until I’m done. |

Can you direct me to the source for Bright Lights? |
@flennon
I actually got it off eBay from a seller called moviemars. I’ve bought from them before, never had a problem, their shipping just isn’t the fastest at times as they use DHL commerce > USPS. But, only $24 shipping included. |

+1 on Relayer
After my wife goes to sleep later I will be spinning Yes and Rush. How can you play one without the other? |
The Fiery Furnaces / I'm going away |
Sir Charles Mackerras conducts Dvořák - Czech Suite, Op. 39 & Jan Václav Hugo Voříšek - Sinfonia In D. English Chamber Orchestra. Philips, unknown release date, but probably the early 70’s. Netherlands pressing.
|
Jonah Tolchin – Clover Lane (Yep Roc 2014)
Take 2 - after ultrasonic-cleaning. Lot better. There were 4 places where the groove stopped dead. No issues now. |
Matthew Barber & Jill Barber – The Family Album (Outside Music 2016)
Really growing on me. |
The Fiery Furnaces / Blueberry boat |
Just finished listening to Genesis - Nursery Cryme. 1973 pressing on Charisma.
Started up ELP - Tarkus. 1971 pressing on Cotillion.
Two sides of the Progressive Rock spectrum. Nursery Cryme was like poetry. Tarkus is a full frontal assault!

+2 on Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure. I’ll be queuing that one up for tomorrow. Great choice.
|
I always had trouble explaining to people why I liked the early Roxy Music stuff so much. Very weird within the context of that time. A YouTube commenter has nailed it:
"
This era. There is something undefinable. It's greasy. It's seedy. It's sophisticated. It's rough and slick at the same time. It's beautiful and weird. It's Roxy Music defined."
|
I've always been a fan of their first 2 albums (with Eno). They are one of a few bands that came on strong toward the end of their time together as well. That stated, with Avalon. |
"
It's beautiful and weird. It's Roxy Music defined."
A lot of the experimental and visionary elements of Roxy Music were diminished when Brian Eno departed after the tour supporting "For Your Pleasure" in 1973. It was still kind of there for "Stranded" but was sorely lacking by the time "Country Life" came along. The glam rock element had become the dominant theme. And that certainly didn't make Island Records mad since it sold a lot more records than experimental creativity ever did.
The Amanda Lear jacket cover for "For Your Pleasure" is classic, along with the music.
I stopped buying Roxy Music albums after "Stranded".
