You guys have me more and more interested in getting some quality classical music on vinyl. I have some and need to pull them out and get them through the Degritter. I need to buy more, though. Thanks for all of the good listings.
Been playing the new turntable rig, a few yesterday (for the first time) and a few more today. Already a big improvement over my previous rig. And the run-in has only just begun for the cartridge and phono leads. This will be fun, tonight!
John Lee Hooker - It Serve You Right To Suffer, Analogue Productions / QRP
Basie Jam - a pp issue I secured just a week ago. Third time I have played it.
The Motels - All Four One, a very early pp press I have had since its release.
David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name, 50th Anniversary edition
Jethro Tull - This Was, the Steven Wilson remix

Great selection there @mammothguy54 . Look for more Basie, Sims, Edison and Gillespie on Pablo.
|
Cut-outs, LOL, those are long gone. There was once a record store in Eugene, OR called House Of Records that sold almost nothing but cut-outs and promos. We’d go once a month and buy stacks of cheap records by mostly unknown bands. The following week we’d take stacks of records to Salvation Army. 😂😩

@mammothguy54
👍🏼 Nice to hear regarding the new rig. Enjoy! …….and……probably makes you a little more anxious to get those new speakers 😉
As far as classical? Jump in, the waters fine.
I do believe my new Belles Aria Sig pre is really starting to settle in. I may be crazy, but everything I have been playing sounds better than ever before. Maybe it’s just today, and, maybe not. Johnny said to give it 3-4 weeks and it will start ‘opening up’. He might be right.

Joel, Great news, enjoy it!
Brian Eno / Music for installations
Just picked up from LRS. Ouch... Spent the kind of money that Jim (tomic) & Brian (bkeske) spend 😁

@bkeske Back at you. I bought the The Gabrieli String Quartet!

By the way, for you Beth Hart fans (who isn't, on this thread) if you didn't already know, she is releasing a new album on February 25. A Tribute To Led Zeppelin. I can only imagine how well Beth will do those songs. Should be fantastic! She is doing a world concert tour to launch the album. Dates are posted on here official website. You can see the song selections there as well. Preorders for the album are available at Acoustic Sounds.
Hope this helps.

I did a thing today.
@Whoopycat here on agon had his Zu Soul Superflys listed in the classifieds. Turns out he’s 2 hours from me! I met him half way and did the deal. Now time to see if I fall into the “love em” or “hate em” Zu club.

Tim, I've been streaming Bardo Pond when I get the chance. I can see the appeal. Quite a mix of moods.

Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
Finally found an excellent copy and it sounds great. Just love this album.
Tony MacAlpine - Maximum Security
One of my fav guitarists, taking me back to my shredding days! The album is absolutely mint, not a scratch or blemish on it. Found it in a tiny antique shop. Unfortunately, it sounds like dog meat! Muffled with no dynamics, no instrument separation - just a mess. Going back and forth with the CD and it's no contest. CD much better.
This vinyl thing is quite frustrating at times! But fun anyway.
|
+1 Brian. They are unique. Their music grew on me pretty fast in the early 2000's and are (still) one of my favorite bands to this day.
Blues Control / Valley tangents

The Marshall Tucker Band / S-T

The Beatles / The White Album

@bslon There was a record shop in Santa Barbara, don’t remember the name but it was near or in LaCumbre, that sold tons of $1 cutouts. We’d buy piles of them and Take the rejects to a different store, off Milpas I think, that would actually buy cutouts. Sometimes we even made money on a record. Different days indeed.
|
Actually, I bet James has us beat, or Steve in shear volume
i really try to keep it to an average of about one record per day…. Don’t forget @Big_greg. Brother buys a LOT of nice vinyl.
|
@j_husker Carryin’ around Zu Soul with that knee. I’m reporting you to the medic…! All kidding aside. Nice acquisition. Have fun with them. I don’t know much but I would think the Soul are the Zus to get.
|
Still up Bill? We’ve spent the evening watching Olympics. Missed my pm listening and even my lights out record which almost never happens. Hopefully make up for it tomorrow.
|
James, having the usual nightcap of LPs to end the day. Watched a few Jack Reacher episodes earlier instead of the Olympics.
Gordon Lightfoot / Gord’s Gold

Remember “Lights Out” on KINK?

You bet! We have almost all those KINK Lights Out CDs (3-11), they get a lot of play here.

Al Kooper Introduces Shuggie Otis – Kooper Session (Columbia)
|
@mammothguy54 Joel, yeah @bkeske has got me looking to widen my classical collection too, especially to more of the composers with 2nd tier familiarity for novices like me. Maybe I'll start another thread just on such suggestions? Everybody knows you need a copy of Bach Cello Suites and Pictures at an Exhibition, but thankfully friends pushed me to buy Bartok Concertos for Orch., Schumann's Carnaval and Carl Nielsen's 5th.
|
@sbank I've been getting the classical "itch" a bit too lately. There's so much, and there are only certain things I like, it's hard to figure out where to start, but we have some good guides. I think our friend @spiritofradio knows a thing or two about classical music also.
|
Listening to my $1.99 copy of the Doobie Brothers - Livin' On The Fault Line. Sounds really good this morning. It's not my favorite by a long shot (nothing with Michael McDonald is), but it's in really good shape and good SQ. I have another copy, play grading them to see which one goes into the Adios bin.

Shuggie Otis – Inspiration Information (Epic – Reissue, 180 gram) sublime, full of masterful guitar and songwriting

@sbank +1 for Shuggie. What a talent. I really like that record you just posted - Shuggie and Al Kooper. Do you have Freedom Flight? Probably my favorite of his. It also has a very unique sound.

Pere Ubu - Songs From the Lost Album. Fire 2017
