Mighty Sam McClain - Give it up to Love

Vladimir Horowitz - New York Philharmonic* • Eugene Ormandy, Rachmaninoff* – Concerto No. 3 - Golden Jubilee Concert · Recorded Live at Carnegie Hall (1978 RCA)
|
@spiritofradio Porcupine Tree is one of my favorite bands. Fear of a Blank Planet is absolutely brilliant song writing.
|
Rachmaninoff, Byron Janis, London Symphony, Antal Dorati – Piano Concerto No. 3 Mercury Living Presence 1961
|
Carl Nielsen, New Philharmonia Orchestra, Jascha Horenstein – Symphony No.5, Op.50 / Saga-Drøm, Op.39 (Nonesuch – 1969)
|
@dayglow FWIW, The Japanese pressing of Crisis is really good if you're looking for a better one. Under-rated album IMHO.
@femoore12 A Neko night is a good night!
Tom Waits - Mule Variations
|
Nick Cave – Idiot Prayer (Nick Cave Alone At Alexandra Palace)
|
Def Leppard - On Through The Night
They were really rocking on this record, and I think they were all teenagers when they wrote it. This and High 'N' Dry are probably my two favorite Leppard albums.
|
@sbank
Thx! It's always a risk buying used from estate/garage/yard sales but at $1-$5 an album you have to chance it because original pressings usually have the best SQ. I even bring a small maglite to examine the record wear, it helps but there is no guarantee until played.
|
Def Leppard - Hysteria This doesn't rock like their earlier albums but the songwriting and production are top notch.
|
@sbank
Nice selections Spencer. My TT will be cranked up soon, but first, streaming the Berlin Philharmonic live via the Digital Concert Hall…..live New Years Eve concert. Outstanding. Then, onto some vinyl, a ‘new’ one should be arriving any minute now.
|
I agree with you Greg on the early Def Leppard albums!
|
Brian, I found a pp of Comes a Time years ago for $4. It is a superb/sounding record!

Yes it is Steve. I bought mine when it came out, but for whatever reason, preferred his older albums and it never got much TT time. As we get older, at times, things that didn’t interest us then, do now. Such is the case for Comes A Time for me. It really sounded incredible last night. Kinda like having a new album.
Hope you are doing well.

|
Thanks Brian. I guess I didn't make it clear that I'm with my mother full time for several weeks while my sister recovers from shoulder surgery. No time for music, ☹️.
|
Happy birthday Tom! Nice selection!
|
Thanks Steve! It is a Happy Birthday for me. And, yes, it is a good selection. I really like that Cracker album. Don't have it on vinyl though.
|
Happy Birthday Tom!

2018 45 RPM EP on Sub Pop
FYI, This is a six-song release featuring material that Sam Beam worked on while writing the 2017 record Beast Epic. If you don’t know Beast Epic I’d highly encourage you to check it out. Beautiful songs with simple, just enough instrumentation. WG also includes the song “Waves of Galveston” a track that Sam has performed live but never officially released.
