Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1

Terrapin still my favorite (and that’s saying a lot cause I love AB and WMD a lot).  I play Terrapin in my head pretty often actually.  

Just arrived from the UK today, in great shape.

REO Speedwagon-Hi Infidelity Side 1

Rod Stewart-Tonight I’m Yours-Side 2

Toni Tennille-More Than You Know-Side 2 SQ Audiophile

George Thorogood-Bad To The Bone Side 2

Aretha Franklin-Who’s Zoomin’ Who? Side 1

Gerry Rafferty-North & South Side 1

Yes it was 80’s night so I spun a couple extra LP’s No surprise only 2/10 made Audiophile status. Missing Persons SQ was a disappointment since Bob Ludwig mastered it. Vocals were recessed and murky by choice? White Lion SQ was very good considering the genre. The Gatlin Brothers was the SQ champ tonight also delivering intelligent "country" lyrics. A top shelf 1980’s country album.

 

A clean record.

I just listened to Journey Escape...a salvation army $1 purchase from 2002. Never sounded like this before. Fresh off my recently acquired VPI record cleaning machine. 

I think MC cartridges are sensitive enough to get befuddled by even slightly dirty or static infused records.

 

Just arrived….

Modern Jazz Quartet - Concorde. Prestige reissue, unsure when this was released, originally 1955. Sounds awesome.

 

Mingus-The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady 2021 Impulse AS series.

It’s just sooo good!

Lots of great stuff being played on this forum!

If you like FSA, you might be interested in this Movietone Peel Session release that I'm still waiting to receive.  Allegedly released on 28 January.  Like FSA, Movietone were also from Bristol and members of Third Eye Foundation, FSA and Movietone (among others) worked together in each others band.

 


Dave Douglas Quintet - Be Still

lovely record in every way. I’ve had the digital since it came out (actually bought it on iTunes…) but didn’t know it had been mastered for record until Jim posted about it. Thanks Bro!   Nice relatively quiet (not smooth) Jazz renditions of familiar old hymns, with Aoife’s extraordinarily vocals, on perfectly quiet wax, in an art jacket.

Been streaming Mary Chapin Carpenter/The Dirt & The Stars.

Sounds wonderful! I have the vinyl in now. Should be awesome!

Another lp arrived today from the UK, as a result from streaming. 

Israel Nash "Rain Plans"   2013/Loose Music

 

Van Morrison, "Avalon Sunset"

Sparklehorse, "Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain"

Egberto Gismonti, "Danca das Cabecas"

 

Going to finish this box tonight. Only got half way through Tuesday.

Really nice.
