Listened to The Hu tonight, vinyl, all 3 sides, amazing music and sound from this Mongolian metal band. 
It's almost midnight here and I'm burning the......

Midnight Oil - "Diesel and Dust"
@j_husker

"Lights off, candle burning."

I love that.  I think I will do just that on Saturday night.  My wife is gone for the weekend so it's just me and the dog.  I'll make it a "spacey" night.

Another new arrival purchased with confidence based solely on a recommendation on this thread.  
Rickie Lee Jones / It’s like this 

great record! Thanks!! Though not a fan of the 45 rpm 12”!   2 or 3 songs a side? Makes me get off my butt too often Just as I’m sinking into an audio induced altered state, usually.
Also on tonight’s bill;

The Howard Roberts Quartet / H.R. is a Dirty Guitar Player 

The Howard Roberts Quartet / This is Howard Roberts. Color Him Funky

great f’n guitar player, great combo, great albums!  
I approve,

The Smithereens / Especially For You

Screaming Trees / Sweet Oblivion

Looney Tunes , Merry Melodies
Another Warner / Reprise / et all compilation “loss leader” 

Back in ‘71 $2.00 sent to Burbank could procure  a three disc boxed compilation of the wide swath of talent currently signed to Warner and their  affiliates.

These “samplers” would be peppered with a song or two that alone, might entice you to buy the entire set.

my introduction to a lot of great music, raised as I was in the suburban wonderland  of the puget sound region.

Of this 6 side showcase, I’m currently engaged by disc 3.  Sides 3 & 4.  Kinks apeman to gratefully dead, van Morrison, little Richard, Arlo Guthrie, beach boys, young bloods, etc., 

it cuts a wide swath. Very nostalgic.
@sourpuss123
That
sounds like a nice compilation. Good score for $2, cheap even for ‘71 dollars.

The Headboys / The Headboys
The Blue Nile - Rooftops ( streaming off recommended list from a dude in Sneaker Pimps….
Tonite I'm going with some oldies....Drifters greatest hits lp....under the boardwalk....
J. Geils Band - The Morning After. 
Old pressing from around 1971 on Atlantic. 

Hadn't played it in years and gave it a spin after a good cleaning.

Great SQ and a fantastic album. Better than I remember. Definitely deserves a second spin.



Dave Matthews Band "Before These Crowded Streets"

Read today this lp with the original line-up is bringing $300.
Well, got word today the big Joni /12 lp box set is being delayed until Feb ☹️
New arrivals,

Steve Winwood "Greatest Hits Live"

Violent Femmes "Why Do Birds Sing?"
Craft Recordings/2021/RE
ELO - A New World Record 
1976 UA/Jet Records

Jeff Lynne sure could write a catchy tune. I guess it didn't hurt being a desciple of the Beatles. 

Georgia Blue has a most excellent cover of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed


i never tire of that song…
i don’t Steve. I do have the Shoals disc.


The Allman Bros - Fillmore East
Tim Curry   "Fearless"  I usually remember to play this at some point, every October.  Dr. Frank 'N Furter...

The Who  "Tommy"  The Geffen remaster/reissue.  Yes, I know that it came from a digital file.  However, it sounds much better than my 1974 reissue on Decca Records.  I'll be giving away that one.
Garbage "S/T". 
Simply Vinyl/EU 

Always thought Simply Vinyl got a bad rap.
I think the SQ on Shoals is better than Ryman (YMMV).  I like Shoals, but remember it’s a little less than half Jason. I also like Alabama and recommended it.

New record (Georgia) on pre-order.

Steve, +1 on “It’s Like You Never Left” My favorite of his. In my top 10 everything. Like Jim says, desert island disc.
