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
Y’all killing it tonight w great music. We tore down the stereo and crammed it in a corner so contractors can change out two massive windows and a French door next couple of days….wish me luck….
I once saw Long John Baldry. He is a very tall guy. Great show!
@j_husker Best to you on the knee surgery. I have had 3 knee surgeries (twice on the left and once on the right), so I can identify with you. As you likely know, be very good on your PT. Work hard at it because you get out of it only from what you put into it. Get back 100%. And do enjoy the music.
Joe Cocker "With A Little Help From My Friends" early press, sounds rather good.
Katanga, the Tone Poet issue. So good, and from such a long ago recording.
Jennifer Warnes "Famous Blue Raincoat" inspired from being listed here, yesterday. I bought this last year, released as a special Limited Edition of only 1,000 copies on Impex Records, made from Jennifer's personal master tape, on blue vinyl. My copy is S/N: 0825/1000. Man, is this good!
@slaw - Steve, enjoy "One for the Road". I love the live version of "Celluloid Heroes" from that album. Great stuff. Right on the heels of their hugely popular "Low Budget" album.
Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra "1939-1940" Artie Shaw "On the Air"
Albums I grew up with playing on my fathers turntable through a wondrously warm tube receiver console and speakers that sold with it. By no means audiophile recordings but very definitely bring back memories.
Elvis Costello - Armed Forces. I have 5 copies of this, including the MFSL. Only 2 are in Discogs, so I'll be playing the other 3 to play grade them...
@big_greg - Man, you must really like "Armed Forces" (I do too). Once you grade all of your 5 copies, are you going to keep them all, or are you going to sell/trade some of them? I mean, you can only list to one at a time... :~)
I've tried to whittle down to only 1 or 2 copies of any individual record. Really prefer to only have my one best copy. I'm self-limited to about 800 LPs of storage in my listening room. I'm at the point now where I have to remove/sell/trade current inventory in order to make room for new acquisitions. Or stick them in the overflow boxes back in the storage room...
@reubent I'm going through an exercise of getting all my records into Discogs and eliminating some of the duplicates. I've been making a pile (not a literal pile) of the culled records. I've given some away. I'm not sure what I'll do with the rest. Sell them on Discogs, sell them as a lot to the local record store, or stick them in the garage...
Ahmad Jamal- Standard Eyes 1967 Mono (recently PVF cleaned)
Miles Quartet-Round About Midnight Speakers Corner 2021
This is the first surgery on the left knee, prior procedures were all on the right. Meniscus tear in two places this time. As I tell everyone that sees me hobbling around or on crutches, “I’m a 54 year old trapped in a 90 year old body.”
