John Hiatt - Mystic Pinball. New West Records 1 1/2 LP 2012

@bkeske: Uh oh. Have you opened the Burrito Deluxe LP yet? (Or is it used?). 4 Men With Beards are notorious for poor sounding LP reissues (low-rez digital sources, poor mastering and pressing quality).
Intervention Records has their repress of Burrito Deluxe scheduled for the 2nd quarter of 2022, mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI. Their reissue of the the first Burrito Brothers album is excellent (I have it and an original, bought at the time of it's initial release).

@bdp24
Ha! It was used, and actually got some of the higher ratings vs other releases on Discogs (including MOV), so took a chance. The pressing is fine, and pretty darn quiet. SQ-wise, it sounds fine, but to be honest, it has been years since I heard the original pressing, so it is very hard to compare.
|
Roxy Music - Country Life. This is a half speed mastered at Abbey Road German import. Sound quality is very nice

@bdp24 @bkeske ,
I didn't have the heart to say it but since Eric did ......... I learned my lesson too late on the Four Men With Beards releases.

The Records / S-T
1979 Virgin
|
@bslon: Excellent! I too just found a copy of the Records' self-titled debut, as well as it's followup (which introduced new member Jude Cole, who had previously been a member of Moon Martin's band). Excellent Power Pop.
The Records' main songwriter/singer John Wicks was in the audience at the Emitt Rhodes live appearance I participated in (the 1997 Poptopia Festival in L.A.), and I ended up connecting with John and doing some shows with him in the following couple of years. A very sweet guy, and a damn fine songwriter. He unfortunately passed away a few years back.

Foreigner - 4 Just say NO to 4MWB
|
@bdp24 I enjoy your stories, thanks for sharing.
I much prefer that first record over their second, especially like how the cymbals come in at intervals on “Starry Eyes”. That really grabs me, you as a drummer maybe not so much. Excellent Power Pop for sure! Funny that you mentioned Moon Martin, I had that in last night’s queue but lost steam late.
|
i always thought the records were underrated as a guitar band, and i prefer their (marginally) harder edged second record (plus i can't listen to "teenarama" without cringing).
on my queue, in the same vein:

I bought a good pile of used records recently. These are a few of them that I played today.

Al Di Meola - Splendido Hotel An excellent group of musicians joined Al in making this very good double album.
Earl Klugh and Bob James - Two Of A Kind This is a gold stamped "Promo" copy. An excellent quality production and SQ. Very enjoyable music, so easy to listen to and relax. And I got it for just $5 plus shipping.
