@bkeske +1 on Mr. Gone.  I like that album now a lot more than I used to.  Maybe I’m getting more open minded…

 

Art Pepper - Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section • 2022 RSD • Craft/Contemporary 

very Nice Sounding Record.  Like reference.  highly recommend this issue.  I know the ingroove in phoenix will have plenty left after RSD today.  

@ricmci Dude!  I love that record.  Might be my favorite Caravan album.  Don’t recall you posting here before. If not - big welcome. Keep ‘em coming.  

Caravan - Blind Dog at St. Dunstan’s • 1976 • Arista (US) OP

I love my stereo 

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Between Nothingness & Eternity. Columbia 1973

James, I feel similarly regarding Mr Gone. I really enjoy spinning it now.

 

Shakti With John McLaughlin. Columbia 1976. Recorded live at South Hampton College, July 5, 1975

@j_husker 

Very nice. I know James hit his RSD store today. I was thinking about it, to get the Sandy Denny release….but too many other things to do today. I have a feeling they didn’t sell-out all their copies, so may get it yet.

@spiritofradio James, looks like you found a few. Sorry I was busy, sent a PM but I think you missed it.

Joni Mitchell - Blue. Reprise reissue, mid 70’s I believe, originally 1971

Fabriclive. 83 / Logan Sama 

Went to the LRS today & found this "Fabric" release on frickin' vinyl! I have many of the "Fabric" series on CD but have never seen any vinyl releases. A nice surprise.  

Itzhak Perlman, André Previn, Shelly Manne, Jim Hall, Red Mitchell – It's A Breeze (Angel 1981)

David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name (50th anniversary). Atlantic reissue 2021, originally 1971

Itzhak Perlman, André Previn, Shelly Manne, Jim Hall, Red Mitchell – It’s A Breeze (Angel 1981)

Holy smokes Brian, that is interesting indeed. Gonna have to look into that one!

Edit: Found it on Tidal

@bslon Thanks. Re: RSD today. Happy to report I got everything on my list and then some. I was 75th in line. When I got in line at 5 am, with my earphones and a beach chair, it was 39*. Probably didn’t need to be quite so macho about it - there were plenty of records. All that frenzy turned out to be rather anticlimactic. I only saw a couple of people with stacks big enough to suspect scalping was afoot. A pretty good & friendly crowd really.

@slaw  

Was able to find what I was interested in from RSD, this morning.

Good on ya Steve.  Enjoy ‘em in good health.  

Harry Belafonte, Belafonte At Carnegie Hall (Analogue Productions)

Leon Russell, Carney (Analogue Productions)

R.E.M., Lifes Rich Pageant, (I.R.S, first press)

Spoon, Lucifer On The Sofa, (Matador)

Haresuite – Circle Of Friends (Haresuite 1983)

...

Mary Lu Walker – Middle Age, Middle Class, Mama Songs (K&R 1979)

This is an oddity. Songs in the naive country folk style from a Mama to her growing up kids. Cute and musical. Very nice recording. Little gem.

Some time to spend on LPs so,... Calvin Russell, "Sounds From The Fourth World" One Meatball, lol, The Avett Brothers, "True Sadness" & Chris Cornell, "Songbook" just got it... that voice though, Led Zep's Thank You - SO good!

@bkeske Interesting, huh? Worth a listen. Recording is decent considering 1981 digital.

@noromance

Very interesting. I played a bit through Tidal on the bedroom system before crashing for the day. Noticed there were two versions, one sounded better. But, too late, so had to get to sleep. Will check it out further on the main rig.

Karl Böhm conducts Beethoven - 9 Symphonies. Wiener Philharmoniker. Deutsche Grammophon box set 1972. 

Have not spun a Beethoven cycle for a while, so pulled Böhm, as I have not listened to this cycle for quite some time.
 

 

At this moment in time, Van Der Graaf Generator, The Aerosol Grey Machine. Thinking either Can or Bowie next. 

Gregg Allman - Laid Back

1973/2015 Analog Productions remaster.

Thanks to all the guys that recommended this one over the past few months. 

Sounds absolutely fantastic. 

@bkeske Which versions and what one sounded better to you? I love the album. Inventive and fun. A must have. Shame it wasn't 15 years before on Ampex tape.

Donald Fagen - Sunken Condos

I haven’t put this on in awhile, but as I was looking for a Sunday afternoon listen it caught my eye. Such a much better listen with loads of little details and layers than I remember. I had to laugh with the clear vinyl after  I got panicky for a sec before I remembered side four was blank. 

@noromance

As I say, there are two versions on Tidal, and both have different cover art than yours: The release dated 2011 sounds less ‘thin’ to my ears and more enjoyable.

From 2011

From 2015
