@bslon +1 on the Little Feat mini-marathon! The one thing I'm interested in for Record Store Day is an "official" release of Electrif Lycanthrope with some additional material.

Hope for a complete recovery.

I have Pet Sounds DCC mono. Last time I listened, I was impressed.

Pete Yorn - Plays and Sings The Classics (RSD). Somehow he finds a way to put a new unique spin on diverse cuts that have been recorded many times before and weaves it into a coherent album that would make you think they're all originals that you already know the lyrics to...cool trick!
|
@reubent: One problem with the Pet Sounds album is that the multi-track is not a very good recording to begin with; a good pressing can’t cure that, only not make it worse.
Brian had only 4-track machines to work with at that time, and did a lot of "bouncing" (taking a fully-recorded multi-track tape and mixing all four channels down to one, copying that mix onto one track of another 4-track machine and recording on the other three channels, repeating that process until he all the instruments and voices he wanted). All that tape copying results in the instruments and voices being several generations removed from their original recording. As a consequence, the finished tape sounds rather veiled, soft, and lifeless. It’s very hard to hear the piano playing the glorious chord progression of "God Only Knows", one of my favorite Pop compositions of all-time (McCartney’s too).
In December there is a new album from Brian being released---just him sitting at a grand piano, playing solo piano versions of a lot of his best songs, including "God Only Knows". Oughta be great!

Took day off to get some music in. Wish my bored, retired, leaf-obsessed neighbor on the leafblower would shut up.

Back atcha @tomic601! Everything’s cool with me; got my booster shot yesterday. My arm’s only a little sore, a small price to pay ;-) .
I also put in all my holiday sale orders for LP’s (mostly) and CD’s (a few). New West Records, Compass Records, Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc, MoFi, uDiscovermusic (40% off!), Discogs, Amazon, etc. Not much of interest to me in the upcoming Indi Store Black Friday list.
Every year Music Millennium puts out little coupon books with great offers for the end of November through Christmas: an extra 15 or 20 precent added to trade-ins, 10-20% discount on new and used LP’s and CD’s, etc. I have a shopping list ready, just waiting for the coupon books to be put out.

@big_greg Plugged in headphones last night and after Time Loves A Hero just kept going. Lots of layers of detail on their records, a fun listen with the ‘cans’.
|
@bslon Feats Don't Fail Me Now is one of my all-time favorite records. If your speakers do soundstaging and imaging well, Skin It Back is a nice demo track. Great music!

@bkeske I lived in NYC in the early 80s and saw the Lizards perform. One of several great bands that Arto Lindsay and Anton Fier (another NE Ohio native) were involved with.

Very cool. They would have been a fun show live.

The Nash Ensemble - The Chamber Music Of Malcolm Arnold #2. Hyperion 1986 UK release

Listening to "Pet Sounds" now. Trying to figure out which version I have. It's a Capitol Records, mono, T-2458. When I get it off the platter, I'll see if I can discover anything on the label or in the runout.
|
@reubent
According to Discogs, most with that # were the original release from 1966, but they did reissue in 2008 on 180g. The reissue used the old Capitol label also, with the ‘rainbow’ ring. There was also a 2016 reissue by Capitol.
If you have access to Discogs, the dead wax info would identify it, but it will take a bit of work as there are numerous releases with that number.

streaming Brian Wilson - At My Piano

@bkeske - Brian, thanks. I'm working on it. It's definitely a modern reissue on heavy vinyl. Will check the deadwax runout for more info. Been checking all of the releases on Discogs. Haven't found it yet...
