David Lindley: "Mercury Blues" (Asylum AS-11496-X). The LP version already sounds incredible, this 12" white label promo single even better. David and his El Rayo-X band were awesome live on stage.

As a kid I played this so much I basically wore out the grooves on the album.

:lol:

@jjbeason14 - My first RUSH show was the tour where they recorded the first live album - "All the World’s a Stage". Saw many after that, including their last tour. Still one of my favorite bands.

@vonhelmholtz    Appreciate your mature response. Was not criticizing your choice of music since I am of fan of extreme metal which many here think its noise? They might be right since most extreme metal is poorly recorded. IMO Classical/Baroque Jazz and Classic Rock has a much wider range of diversion then current pop music. 

@dayglow

That’s a fair evaluation and can be said of much of the music posted here in the jazz, classical, or name the genre. I like this particular wrapper. I must admit that I listen to this genre of music more when I’m exercising vs sitting in my listening room. Of course, much of her material is her own, but subject to what is popular these days. This includes topical music and clearly sexualized presentation. In Korea, entertainment companies control their stars much like 1940’s Hollywood, but even to a greater degree. She started in 2019-2020 as COVID hit and is about to star in her first TV drama playing against one of Koreas top male leads, so she has been a fast rising star, but this happens going with what is popular.

@vonhelmholtz    Gave Bibi a quick VT listen it's the same regurgitated current dance/pop in a different wrapper. 

Ella and Louis Again (Mofi vinyl) never gets old

Happier Than Ever By Billie Eilish (Darkroom/Interscope vinyl) Probably her best album.

Also streamed Lowlife Princes By BiBi .. High Res available on Qobuz

Bibi is a new Korean breakthrough artist. Fluent in English and talented composer, performer and pretty good dancer. Only YouTube and streaming.

BIBI MAKES HISTORY WITH WORLDWIDE TOP 40 RADIOS IN THE US

”Weekend” is in English, but many better songs.. and no…I don’t listen to the radio… and I’m not Korean..

Thx for the info! Considering a vinyl version of Kind Of Blue since the 1997 remastered CD is the only version in my collection.

@dayglow Hello Evan, some tape hiss is noticeable in between tracks, not so much when the music starts. The SQ greatly overshadows it. I can’t compare it to my noisy original.

@bslon   Kind Of Blue AP 45rpm. Has the tape hiss of this recording been lowered or completely removed?

@jdougs  - I don't listen to much country music (I do listen to a lot of Americana), but I've also always really liked "Willie and Family Live". What a great performance, and it's unmistakably Willie. The "Red Headed Stranger Suite" is probably my favorite.

The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals
2018 Analogue Productions

A “Wonderful” double LP with a great list of artists, amazing SQ

Miles Davis / Kind Of Blue
2020 Analogue Productions RE 45rpm, orig. 1959

Yes, it sounds fabulous

Wrapping the night up with The Grand Canyon Suite, 1958 Mercury Living Presence stereo.

@reubent Man, I bet I haven’t played Willie and Family Live in close to 40 years!  Not a country music fan at all, but I loved that album.  Guess it needs a bath and a spin in the near future.  Thanks for mentioning it! 👍

Willie Nelson - "Willie and Family Live"

What a hoot! Really great album, by a master, at the top of his form.

Breaking in the new mono cart.  At about 20 hours now and really starting to come into its own.
