Leo Kottke - Balance. Chrysalis 1979

Thought I had all of Leo’s LP’s through the 70’s, but realized this one was missing. 70’s collection now complete.

Roy Harper / Flat Baroque and Berserk 
Science Friction reissue orig. 1970 

@sourpuss123 
Nice score on the Godfathers LP, they rock!

@slaw 
Steve, nice list!
How is the Church EP?
It reminds me to give this a spin…
The Church / Remote Luxury
1984 Warner Bros.

 

@bslon,

Bill, I haven't had a chance to listen yet, although I love The Church and most of my lps by them sound very good.

@bslon Not many around here playing Roy. I played it at AXPONA in the Acora room. I think it was Jeffery Catalano's copy.

Roy Harper / Flat Baroque and Berserk 

Hey Bill,

Speaking of The Church, I have a gold stamped promo of Remote Luxury that I need to clean and listen to soon.

@noromance Lots of interesting stories about Roy Harper, on FB&B he used a wah-wah pedal with his acoustic guitar on Hell’s Angels for an effect. Also cool he was the vocalist for PF’s Have A Cigar. His music’s a nice change-up for me on occasion.

@slaw You be pushing my button lately (in a good way), first with The Church and now I’m reminded to spin my long lost copy of Moby Grape. That’s what I like about this thread!

Well, my music friend and I watched some of Get Back yesterday. We ended up helping one another out with life issues, our watching time was cut short. I did readjust his Ortofon Cadenza Black MC and tweek this speaker and sub alignment and setting. We decided to start with the second segment. While it is nice to seem them young and the kind of loose way they committed themselves to end product was interesting to me. It was a slow moving segment. The SQ was really nice. I thought, why couldn’t they get Ringo’s drums to sound/sound more prominent on their early recordings? Interesting that they all called Ringo, Richie. By his real name. 

What we thought was funny was John's showing the camera , in his way, his unhappiness about having to introduce the Stones at their upcoming TV special.

building on a theme ...

Drive-by Truckers "Decoration Day"

2007/NewWest 

been really surprised and happy, I've been buying all of DBT that I never owned 

For some reason this gray, drizzley Oregon day has me thinking “Echoes”…
Pink Floyd / Meddle
2016 Sony reissue orig. 1971
So free of surface noise it’s freaky

I guess nonoise got me thinking of Roy H.
Pink Floyd / Wish You Were Here
1975 Harvest

Reminds me Bill, to clean my newly acquired Live @ Nebworth on 45 rpm dbl vinyl 

Bill, to observe a Drive-by Truckers’s quote .. "a blessing and a curse".

Steve, I’m guessing that Live @ will sound amazing!

Brian, I’m picturing a bit of a character. Is that even close? I would call meeting him an experience, to put it mildly. Better a privilege, and I’m not much for being anyone’s fanboy.

Bill, I wouldn ’t go that far. It sounds "of an era" to me, more than amazing..

As Steve here likes to say “ my music friend “, Steve from Orange county stopped by to listen today and borrowed the RM-9 while his PSE monoblocks are undergoing surgery. Great listening session - all vinyl, I think Steve has about 5 k records :-) We Played:

Coleman Hawkins, Steve Winwood, Doors 45 rpm, Greensleeves ( Impex ), etc…

Always nice to visit and listen.

David Lee Roth - "Skyscraper"

Listening to a small stack of records that was gifted to me by a buddy who knows I listen to vinyl. Most of them were completely trashed and unlistenable. However, a very few are in decent condition. So, this DLR album is the first one I pulled out of the "OK" pile. Cleaned it, put it on the TT, and it's much better than I expected. Frankly, was expecting it to be a train wreck. But it's not. It's a rocker, with Steve Vai featured on guitar. 

Genesis - "Nursery Cryme"

From the gifted stack. Not in perfect condition, but listenable. I believe this may be the first time I've ever heard this record. Wasn't sure what to expect. It's definitely British Prog. Not bad. If you like that sort of thing...

 

Lots of new arrivals today, one new album, and a nice ‘music care package’ of older classical selections from Jim, which was a surprise and much appreciated. 

First up, the new…

John Hiatt - Mystic Pinball. New West Records 1 1/2 LP gatefold, 2012

Tom Waits – Franks Wild Years (Island 1987)

Bought it when released. Love it. 

@bslon Yes. I've some stories best left untold!

Brian, I’m picturing a bit of a character

 

Jimi Hendrix - "Crash Landing"

From the gifted stack. First time hearing this posthumous compilation. Sounds like a Hendrix record...

The first of a few @tomic601 sent me, and arrived today. Thanks Jim!
