Tony Bennett-A Time For Love Side 1 Randy Travis-No Holdin’ Back Side 2 Led Zeppelin-IV(no barcode symbol label)* Side 1 Police-Ghost In The Machine Side A SQ Audiophile Freddie Hubbard-Sweet Return Side 1 SQ Audiophile Son Seals-Chicago Fire Side B Jefferson Starship-Freedom At Point Zero Side A Zoot Sims-And The Gershwin Brothers Side 2 SQ Audiophile All vinyl had above average SQ tonight except Son Seals or Starship being the weakest(average) I don’t believe the *Zep is an early pressing maybe mid/late 70’s, acceptable SQ curious if mint OP is much better? Hubbard and Sims are both great Audiophile recordings. I give the slight edge to Freddie Hubbard since its not as forward and has a wider soundstage. Both are great jazz recordings/performances for a minimal cost. |
Beach Boys - Smiley Smile Analog Productions 180 gram Mono remaster just received from Acoustic Sounds after being on backorder for about a year. I've been waiting a long time to replace my original 1967 Brother Mono copy.and I am not disappointed. Dead quiet and the SQ is fantastic from the whispers on Wonderful to the thumping bass on Getting Hungry. |
The Doors - Classics. It's wise they didn't call this compilation a "greatest hits" collection, because a lot of those are missing, but it digs a little deeper into the catalog and all songs are good. My copy is pristine and sounds great. This is also a lot cheaper and more readily available than some of the other Doors compilations I have. |

Pete Townshend - "The Iron Man" ... again! I love Pete Townshend and I love this album. I typically listen to it straight through, as it is the soundtrack from a musical. Now, being the soundtrack from a musical, some of the tracks do not stand on their own. However, there are at least 2 tracks that I feel do stand up very well on their own. If you like Pete Townshend and/or The Who, check out these two tracks from Pete Townshend's - "The Iron Man" "Dig" "A Friend is a Friend" |
@jbmac75 , How is "Battle Studies"? |
So this is a hoot. These belonged to Herself's grandfather. I swapped in an Ortofon M78 on my modified 12" Jelco 750 and was pleasantly surprised by how good these sounded. First time playing 78s on 401 #2. She loved hearing them again, both as a reminder of childhood visits to grandfather's basement, and when she performed the show many years ago. |
@slaw I just ran it through the SpinClean. No alcohol. |
@boxer12 That'ss JL birthmark my daughter knows first hand. |
More Songs...was recommended to me by one of my record store gurus when it came out so I bought it. I listened to it once, and thought it was total shite and put it my shelf for a year before playing it again. Still had problems when I listened to it a second time, especially with the yelping chihooahooa singer. Six months later played it again and the switch went 'click'. One of my favourite albums of all time |
@boxer12 Jenny Lewis. My daughter toured with her…. |
