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

boards of canada - in a beautiful place out in the country EP

based on the major albums i never really cared about this group, mostly left me cold, but this one and "twoism" are something else 

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

1970/1982 Columbia Repress

Great SQ on this later repress. 

 

@bslon I believe it's the original 1973 PP&F release and they changed it a year later. My copy vinyl is NM and unlike the hot-linked discogs image above, has a NM cover.

@noromance Nice to see a fellow Al Stewart fan around here. I’d never seen that cover art on PP&F. Cool!

@bkeske Yeah, tonight’s album has a big in-your-face sound. I’ve been messing around swapping cartridges on system 2. The Decca Gold trounced the AT750SH. Apart from simply way better bass, the most interesting standout was vocal intelligibility.

Hank Williams Jr.-High Notes Side 1

Hubbard-Not only a solid Audiophile SQ recording but with 5* content. High Notes is one of the best pure country recordings of the 1980's. Mott a somewhat overlooked very strong 1970's live recording, SQ is decent. New Weave is a 5* jazz fusion album and one of my favorites in this genre.
