Dave Davies - "ALF1-3603"

From the latest Plaid Room Haul

2/3 of the way through the LP. So far, I gotta say its a mess. Horrible recording IMHO. The vocals are recorded very oddly. They sound out-of-phase or have some other type of processing that makes them sound awful. 

This one's likely going into the "to trade/to sell" pile for recycling...

Nils Lofgren - "Wonderland"

From the latest Plaid Room Records haul

So far, very nice!

Dave Edmunds - "Repeat When Necessary"

From the latest Plaid Room Records Haul.....

Steve, if I could have just 10 LPs that Jim Carroll would be one of them…playing side 2 now.

I like the way you wrote that response.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serge Gainsbourg - Histoire De Melody Nelson (Light In The Attic – Reissue) SQ: 9/10!

Working my way through the Purple...

Stormbringer - a bit of an underrated record IMHO, maybe because of Coverdale?

Deep Purple eponymous 

Villa-Lobos* / Prokofiev* - Leopold Stokowski Conducting The Stadium Symphony Orchestra Of New York – Uirapurú + Modinha (From Bachianas Brasileiras No. 1) / Cinderella (Ballet Suite)

streaming some of the musicians you guys have mentioned, who I have no clue about 😁

@sbank

👍🏼 For wild man Stokowski

@boxer12 

Six Organs Of Admittance / School of the flower 

This guy is really interesting. Thanks

Robert Schumann, Daniel Barenboim – Carnaval - Faschingsschwank aus Wien - DG '79 reissue (no tulips 😫)

Norman Greenbaum "Petaluma"

 

A couple years ago, I set out on a search for N G lps. I happily found his 3 lps on WLP.

Patto 

Eponymous 

 

Thanks again Tom @reubent for turning us on to Patto.  Great changes.  Rocks.  

@spiritofradio  - Love that Patto album. Question: In the opener - "The Man" do you hear some background distortion/fuzz in the vocals and guitar? Can't tell if it is just my copy, which appears very clean and I don't hear it in the other tracks. I know "The Man" is the most popular track on the record, so perhaps someone played this track over and over and worn it out.

If you report no distortion, I may look for another copy as I LOVE this record and especially the opener - "The Man".

@slaw  - I have "Spirit in the Sky" and I really like it. Are the others as good IYO?

@reubent I think it’s in the recording.   The vocals clip on that cut.  The guitar a little less so but it’s there.   Mine is the 2002 reissue, NM, no wear or noise from the vinyl.  I actually don’t mind it.  True to the period.  

The Alan Parsons Project

I Robot

 

Completely at the other end of the progressive rock spectrum from Patto. 

@reubent re-reading your question I realize you may be referring to something else.  “Background” is different from what I hear, which is clipped/distorted vocal and guitar notes on the impacts.   Will give that track another spin later and (re)report. 

@puffball08 

@bkeske if you’re a Numbers Band fan (15-60-75), I received the remastered version (by Paul Hamann) of “Jimmy Bell’s Still In Town” on Exit Stencil records last week.  Excellent remaster of a live recording at the Agora (the Mistake was downstairs) in Cleveland on 16 June 1975.  They opened for Bob Marley and the Wailers.  You can purchase directly from the Numbers Band website.  The “Jackleg” LP is a Robert Kidney solo and also quite good.

Just caught this scrolling back today. Oh man, I might have to snag that. I have none of their recordings. Hard to believe these guys didn’t produce more and get more recognition. Excellant stuff. Thanks!

@big_greg I always liked Stormbringer. I mean, it wasn’t Machine Head - by a long shot. Ritchie wasn’t as great on it for sure. I remember as a spotty high school freshman the year it came out that we liked and admired Coverdale and Hughes. For a time anyway. Hughes maybe had more lasting appeal to us (his stuff with Tommy Bolin being most excellent). Mostly we just didn’t know about much other heavy rock in 1974 in our provincial isolation. Turns out there was a lot of other great heavy music out there that we just had no clue about.
