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

Deep Purple / Shades Of Deep Purple
2015 Parlophone R-I, orig. 1968

A well done reissue of this great record.

The Grassroots / Feelings
1967 Dunhill

if SiriusXM had a Hippie Music channel (I wish!), it’d play a lot of The Grassroots.

@boxer12 ,

Hey Tim, I haven't hooked the Audia Flight up yet. Just got in a cable I needed and haven't set aside the time.

These LP sessions are getting more and more rare... streaming so much lately but in a post NY Rangers loss last night, I needed to wind down. Beck, "Morning Phase" Terry Reid, "Superlungs" (amazing voice) & then streamed Sturgill Simpson, "A Sailors Guide." Eclectic set but fitting my mood...

Hey Joel,

It’s 45rpm Audiophile

I mis-wrote earlier  He has a complete Einstein system!

Colter Wall "Imaginary Appalachia" 

2020/LaHonda Records- Thirty Tigers 

45 rpm

Mary Chapin Carpenter "The Dirt & the Stars" 

2020/Lambent Light Records 

Clear dbl vinyl

@slaw 

And the LPs are even better Steve, as you know. This is ‘hitting the spot’ this Sunday afternoon. I do believe, one of Tom’s best.

FWIW, I'm very impressed with the Zavfino phono cable. Don't even think about now. Just immersed into the music.

Ya ! Wildflowers is great, spinning my single disc now :-) good suggestion Brian.

An afternoon playing Tom Petty records, oh yeah! Fun stuff Brian! And Jim!

+1 Mary Chapin Carpenter’s The Dirt & The Stars. I picked that up after a post of yours Steve. The clear vinyl spinning on the TT is like a hypno-disc, weird.

Golden Smog "Weird Tales"

2018/Ryko-Rhino

20th Anniverary 

Wilco & Jawhawks!!

The Golden Smog lp is highly recommended! Really enjoyed it today . 

There is some siblance issue on side 3.

Paul McCartney & Wings "Wild Life"

2021/Abbey Road half speed

This is my very first time hearing this music. I was swayed into buying it after catching a video by Melinda Murphy.

It sounds wonderful!! Recommended!! 

The cover shot reminds me a lot of the scenery I was around in my younger days.

@slaw 

Steve, have you ever heard the difference between Speaker Corners release vs the OP? My OP is nice, but seems to be a bit ‘thin’…..of course, just got done listening to Tom Petty….so…

McCartney? What a good idea…

Paul and Linda McCartney - Ram. Columbia 1980 reissue, originally 1971

Up in a little while,

Life’s Hard and Then You Die "It’s Immaterial"

1987 A&M/gold stamped promo

I believe it was @noromance post that incouraged me into seeking out this lp. My second time listening in as many years.

Listening now is bringing me back to the sensory experience I had initially. Wish for wider SS.

I don't have a pp of that title Brian. I do have a LeFlamme solo lp however,pp 

Bardo Pond - Bufo alvarius, RSD white vinyl. Vinyl is really quiet, nice pressing.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour. Capitol reissue/remaster 2012, originally 1967

binge Petty time w stuff i ripped into server over the years…. what a shame he is gone….

T.P. - Hard Promises on the TT….excellent, perfectly suits my California mood…

what a shame he is gone….

An understatement of high magnitude Jim. I know everything is ‘meant to be’, but can only imagine the additional amazing work he would have graced us with. Odd, I was a ‘late comer’ to Tom. I watched him opened for the Grateful Dead at the Akron Rubber Bowl in the early/mid-80’s, and I gotta say, he grabbed my attention. I kept my eye on him, and no doubt he only got better and better….

I have a friend who does lead guitar for a tribute band of Tom Petty.  They are called 'The Pettybreakers'.  They are quite good and play throughout many states, mostly with multi-day gigs.  If you ever have a chance to see them, do so.  It's amazing how faithful they are to sounding like the real deal.

And yes, my early pp of Wings, Wild Life sounds a bit thin, too.  That's why I had asked Steve to report on his listening experience of the new half-speed issue.

Terry Allen  -  Just Like Moby Dick    I just received this yesterday, purchasing it after reading about it on this thread.  I went to YouTube and checked out the album and liked the music and it sounded as though it would be a great recording, too.  WOW, it certainly is.  The music is really very good and the SQ is fantastic.  Staging and imaging are the highlights of this recording.  Vocals and backup vocals are incredible.

Beth Hart  -  Fire On The Road   This is just an excellent album, second time this week.  However, it has a veil over the SQ.  Drums and cymbals are really in the background and overall it sounds like there is a sheet or blanket over my speakers.  There is a new release, limited edition of 500 copies, on clear vinyl.  Just came out, I wonder if the SQ is much better?  Anyone know about this?

Larkin Poe: Peach

Moody Blues: A Question Of Balance. 

F1 race today was awful as a Ferrari fan. Though I like what Red Bull is doing building their own power units with Hondas help. 

Gettin’ 70’s funky tonight.

Terry Garthwaite-Hand In Glove 1979 Fantasy

I feel like Dr. Johnny Fever right now…

listening to freddie hubbard breaking point. the new one that just got the tone poet treatment. sounds great

Bruce Hornsby & The Range-Scenes From The Southside Side 2

Spyro Gyra-City Kids Side 1

Melanie-Portrait Side 2

Country Fair-(VA SWBB-562)  Side 4

Schubert-"Unfinished"(RCA LSC-3132) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Secret Sphere-Portrait Of  A Dying Heart Side B

Stan Clarke-Children Of Forever Side 1

Carole King-Thoroughbred Side 1

All recordings had near miss Audiophile SQ, with the exception of "Country Fair". surprised even "Secret Sphere 2016" a prog/metal band had VG+ SQ for that genre. This might be the first "Dynagrove" recording that I have awarded an Audiophile SQ?

 

 

ELO's Greatest Hits. I have quite a few import records but I think this might be the first one from Yugoslavia.

Baja Marimba Band - Watch Out!

Atlantic History of the Rhythm & Blues - Volume 4 The Big Beat

+1 Steve @slaw 
I've been away from the records more than I'd like but other stuff keeping me busy.
