Welcome @dredison . This is the coolest thread so stick around and enjoy the fun. Your contributions will certainly be welcome.
Talking Heads "...Buildings and Food" As I said, just had to play it. I wish it had the SQ that the reissue of Speaking In Tongues has. Nevertheless, outstanding music and album.
Maynard Ferguson "Hot" Big-band music, good fun. |
Jumping on the bandwagon as I was in that section of the stacks….
R.E.M. - Fables Of The Reconstruction / Reconstruction Of The Fables. I.R.S. 1985 |

Absolutely dialed in & loving it.
Prana Crafter & Tarotplane / Symbiose
Highly recommended for those who like psychedelic music |
Hendrix "Band of Gypsys"
1997/MCA/Heavy Vinyl |
Buddy, in the pocket....
Jimi, on fire..... |

"The Blue EP" again after a slow steam, a longer time in the Vibrato, and a flattening.
The works. |

Jackson Browne "Standing in the Breach"

Another arrival:
Fleetwood Mac "English Rose"
Epic/stereo/pp/M- |
On now...
John Mayall "Blues From Laurel Canyon"
I deep cleaned it. SQ is really good but my copy has lots of minor surface marks that can be heard but don't really interfere with enjoyment. |
Panocha Quartet : Martinů - String Quartet’s No. 2 & No. 3. Supraphon 1983 Czechoslovakia release
|
The Sibelius Academy Quartet : Sibelius - String Quartet in A Minor & String Quartet In B Flat Major, Op. 4. Finlandia 1985 EU release
|
Cat Stevens "Mona Bone Jakon"
pp/A&M
SQ is superb! |
Let me know how that Tori goes Steve. My copy of different reissue was unlistenable..poor pressing….on my replacement want / need ! list |
Will do Jim. I have the original German pressing and it sounds good but my copy has ticks/pops. Plus they squeezed all those songs on one lp.🤨 |
Been listening to "English Rose". Sounds great!!! |
The Taneyev Quartet of Leningrad - S.Taneyev - Quartet No.2 for Two violins, viola and cello. Мелодия 1980 U.S.S.R. release |
|
Two new LP’s arrived….so taking a break from classical for a bit. I rarely mix genres, but here goes…
Leo Kottke - S/T. Chrysalis 1976
Ive heard other here who have this, and I haven’t, so that’s ‘fixed’. I do believe with this, my Leo collection is now complete from the 60’s thru the 70’s. |
BTW, the Steve Gunn lp is highly recommended!!! |
Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Don’t Look Down". Wow!!!
..."just give me a six pack
and a ’50 Mercury"... |
The other arrival…
Monty Alexander, Ray Brown, and Herb Ellis - Triple Treat (I). Concord 1982. This was the first of the ‘Triple Treat’ releases by the three.
This is kinda cool, as it was signed by Herb Ellis. |
The World's Greatest Jazzband Of Yank Lawson And Bob Haggart – Live At The Roosevelt Grill (Atlantic 1970)
Entertaining and nice to note that the audience chatted through performances like they do today! Recording is fine but nowhere like the clarity of a good late 50s/60s recording. Must be using transistors.
|
|
Knocky Parker – Piano Artistry (Audiophile 1955 mono)
My oldest (non shellac) microgroove record. Didn't play it all as solo piano is not really my thing. Interestingly, the previous owner had barely legible notes grading each song with the note "I'm very impressed by the rich weighty piano!"
|
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Gimme Back My Bullets"
Friday Music |
The Music Group Of London : Vaughan Williams - String Quartet in G Minor & String Quartet in A Minor. EMI/His Masters Voice 1973 UK release
|
Hey Brian, I have that same Leo Kotke S/T album. It's very good, I do enjoy it often.
I have a friend coming over this evening and he wants to listen mostly to Pink Floyd albums. I can dig that...
OK, I finally uploaded pictures of my system and wrote a ton about what I have done, what I am doing, etc. So, no longer just a big yellowtail fish. Now it's the real deal. Check it out if you like. |
@mammothguy54
Yep Joel, I remember you commenting about that Kottke LP. I like it, better than I was expecting, but there are others that are my favorites. Regardless, I was on a mission to complete my collection through the 70’s on vinyl. Makes me feel good.
I’ll certainly check out your system page 👍🏼 |
All this talk about Kottke is reminding me of Mark Kozelek.
Puttin’ on "Lost Verses, Live" |
Joel….what ? something on par with big fish ? guess i will look…also ;-) |
I have been sampling various Mahler No. 6 versions on Qobuz…
Berlin is winning so far…. |
Benjamin Britten - Early Chamber Music : Temporal Variations, Phantasy In F Minor (For String Quintet), Alla Marcia, Three Divertimenti, Two Insect Pieces, & Phantasy Quartet Op. 2 (For Oboe And Strings). Derek Wickens, John Constable, The Gabrieli String Quartet, Kenneth Essex. Unicorn-Kanchana 1983 UK release
|
Anna Maria Alberghetti – Songs By Anna Maria Alberghetti (Mercury Wing 1960)
The woman can sing. |
the Mahler backstory as it were ;
@tvad …could be that i got lucky…. A friend with a superb system circa 1983 or so…Infinity RS ( model down from IRS ), SOTA, Souther, Dynavector, CJ Premier… also a renowned music teacher in Mid Ohio..treated me to Mahler preconcert lecture / symphony in Cleveland …
Part of the lecture ( i may have inhaled ) focused on the selection of material for the death blows…. Leather over wood with a massive wood mallet ( think sledgehammer )….
Amazing, near religious event….
Now is the SOTA at that time Infinity servo woofer cabinet capable of slam and nuance ?….. Better listener for sure…
and fun.

anyone here have any of Lederman’s DirectGrace discs ? |
D. Charles Speer & The Helix – Leaving The Commonwealth (Thrill Jockey 2011)
|
Tanita Tikaram "Closer To The People"
Recommended Highly on lp if you can find it!!!! |
@tomic601 I have been sampling various Mahler No. 6 versions on Qobuz…
Berlin is winning so far…. Not really a surprised Jim. But….did you check-out the Sony remaster of Szell and the Clevelanders? Pretty good. Who was the conductor of the Berlin 6th you like? |
Johann Strauss Jr., Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Wolfgang Sawallisch – Johann Strauss Concert (Philips 1963)
|
JM - Blues from Laurel Canyon |
Found it Brian, i want to listen entirely but it lacks some air as i stream it vs. DG with Kirill Petrenko. |
Weird how a perfect looking shiny and spotless disk can be so noisy while a moldy, grayish-dull, surface-scratched throwaway plays perfectly.

Herbert Blomstedt conducts Nielsen - The Concertos Of Carl Nielsen : Clarinet Concerto, Op. 57, Flute Concerto, Violin Concerto, Op. 33, & Symphonic Rhapsody. Danmarks Radios Symfoniorkester. Seraphim 2LP box 1975
