Last listen for the night before retiring. Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, "Love Devotion Surrender". Nice! 

@big_greg, I tell you what, sometimes I put that Red Octopus album on and it just doesn't stop playing for hours. It really is fantastic and under-appreciated. 

The Claypool Lennon Delirium, "Lime and Limpid Green". Neat little EP. Their version of "The Court of the Crimson King" is pretty stellar. 

Crosby, Stills and Nash - CSN

1977 - Early Atlantic pressing.

I hadn't listened to this in years and with it being so overshadowed by their first album I forgot just how good this album is. Enjoyed it so much I played it twice back to back. Great SQ also.

Staatskapelle Dresden
Philips 5LP box 1978, European release 

Mingus - Oh Yeah, last night. Speakers Corner. Not an "audiophile" recording, but the pressing and mastering are really nice, the sound quality is excellent and the vinyl is really quiet.

@noromance 

Brian, I have an original 1959 copy. It was at the back as it was virtually unplayable. One day last year, I ran it through the US a few times and it now plays as VG+ BUT, man, the SQ is fantastic.

I've only had the cassette, never the vinyl Brian. This MOV sounds great, and the price was right. Would love to hear the original pressing as well 👍

Just now enjoying George Thorogood’s release "Party of One" . While not all reviews have been great, I like it when a musician goes into the studio with just a guitar and puts it on the line. Another one like this is Dylan’s "World Gone Wrong" LMAO when I read a review of that one that suggested it should have been call "Bob Gone Wrong". I think I’ll play it as soon as George is finished. 🤣

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out. Columbia/MOV reissue remaster 2010 European release. Originally 1959.

Last new incoming. This replaces my original copy with lots of wear, and not handled with care all the time back in the day.

Grateful Dead - American Beauty. Warner Bros reissue 1974, originally 1970.

The vinyl looks to be in incredible shape. Will see.

Another…

Replaces my original pressing.

Great content, reference quality SQ

John Anderson-Wild And Blue Side 1

The Guess Who-Live At The Paramount Side 2

Sally Rogers And Howard Bursen-Satisfied Customers Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Supremes Featuring Mary Wilson-Greatest Hits Side 1

The Scott Hamilton Quintet-The Right Time(CJ-311) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Beethoven-Symphony No.4(London CS-6512) Side 1+2 SQ*

The Romantics-ST Side 1

Janis Siegel-At Home Side 2 SQ Audiophile

With the exception of the Supremes SQ flat/dull/muddy and Romantics bright/thin/edgy the rest had very good SQ. SQ* Beethoven just missed Audiophile SQ status due to dynamics being so/so. Guess Who live features an excellent expanded version of "American Woman" which should interest classic rock fans. Ms. Siegel takes the SQ crown over Scott Hamilton due to the soundstage being a little forward, not typical of Concord Jazz vinyl.

Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus.  I should pull this record out more often.

Just arrived.

Grateful Dead - Europe 72, 50th Anniversary reissue. Remaster by David Glasser.

Warner 2022, originally 1972. Very nice. Replaced my original pressing.
