Elton John - "Rock of the Westies"
Not usually considered one of EJ's best, however I like it quite a bit. And it contains one of my favorite EJ songs - "I Feel Like a Bullet (in the gun of Robert Ford)"

Elton John - "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy"
It's, uh, Fantastic!

The Beatles Something New Something New 1964 mono. After a few tone control adjustments on the C52, most of the scratches and pops are gone. Add some mid bass that was never there and it's just like the Magnavox console we had.
Big smiles :)

Seems I’m stuck on spinning this set every couple weeks. Really good SQ/pressing. Not sure how I was exposed to these guys back in the 90’s, but they just ‘grabbed my attention’, and made me listen. Still have that effect on me. Not exactly sure why.
Lush - Ciao! best of. 4AD 2 LP gatefold, limited edition red vinyl 2015
|
|
Lush is still one of my favorites. On vinyl 4AD had many Porky Prime Cut masterings.
|
Beatles - Abbey Road
1969/1972 Apple Reissue
Sounds every bit as good or better than any of the recent remasters.

Oscar Peterson-Exclusively For My Friends Vol 1 “Action” 2014 MPS RE

Neil Young - Harvest. Reprise 1972
|
|
That sounded so good, more Neil….
Neil Young - On The Beach. Reprise 1974
|
Something a little different:
|
|
Godfathers-Love Is Dead(EP) Side 1/2
Fishbone-It's A Wonderful Life(EP) Side A/B SQ Audiophile
Claudia Schmidt-ST Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Bruce Springsteen-Born In The U.S.A. Side 1
Gary Morris-Stones Side 2
Al Stewart-Year Of The Cat Side B
Aerosmith-Rocks Side 1
Al Di Meola-Casino Side 2
With the exception of the Godfathers EP everything had very good SQ. Ms. Schmidt takes the SQ Crown over the Fishbone EP due to the slightly aggressive nature of the recording

Jerry Garcia - Reflections. Round Records 1976
|
@bkeske
have you heard that disc? I always forget to change the belt position on the MMF 7 to 45 speed before I play it. Getting old I guess...
|
@ltmandella
No I haven’t, but as a fan of guys like Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel, would like to hear it. I have none of his LP’s.
Will save him on Tidal to check out.
|
Faces - A Nod Is As Good As A Wink... To A Blind Horse. Not so great on the "audiophile" scale, but man, what a great record!
|
Britten conducts Britten - Symphony For Cello And Orchestra, Op.68 & Haydn - Concerto In C For Cello And Orchestra. English Chamber Orchestra w/Mstislav Rostropovich, cello. London 1964

@big_greg “nod” is a really good one, wish one of the audiophile pressers would remaster that one.
Just arrived today:

Jean Martinon conducts Saint-Saëns - Symphony In A / Symphony In F "Urbs Roma". Orchestre National de la ORTF. Angel 1975
|
Weather Report - Heavy Weather. Another CBS Master Sound 1/2 speed mastered release. Sounds great to my ears.
|
Rolling Stones / Beggars Banquet
1968 London
Haven’t played this in a very long while, had the urge for Street Fighting Man but when Stray Cat Blues and Salt Of The Earth came on, well, it deserves more playing time here.
|
The Kinks / Sleepwalker
1977 Arista

RE: Faces,
The box set from a few years ago is very good. I think from the original master tapes.
|
Traffic / Shootout At The Fantasy Factory

@slaw Good to see you here, hope things are going well for you. Missing your posts. Cheers, Brother!

Yes / The Yes Album
1971 Atlantic
I wish the guitar finale on Starship Troopers (Würm) could have gone another 5 minutes.
|
Faces - Ooh La La. Also great!
|
Just got the Acoustic Sounds remake of Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced." Totally remastered on premium vinyl. Better than Qobuz version. Listening on my Well-Tempered Reference TT. Extremely quiet background. No obvious pops or clicks.
|
Good to know @dougthebiker . I wasn’t as excited about this stereo version. Wish I’d gotten the mono.
|
True, mono would get rid of that very strange decision to put Jimi’s voice in only one channel on the first cut on each side.
