Roxy Music - Stranded Just got this, one of the new reissues of the Roxy Music set of albums, done at Abbey Road Studios. They go out on a limb and state "Remastered and CUT Half-Speed from the original 1/4" tapes" It's the word "cut" that is the difference from "sourced" regarding the actual chain in making the record. If so, bravo! What I can say is that it sounds really good. And it's a very fair price, too.
DiMeola McLaughlin DeLucia - Saturday Night In San Francisco. Impex really knows how to produce a high-quality record. Mastering/plating/stamping and grade of vinyl are all top-flight. The music on this album is superb and should be in everyone' collection, if you like acoustic guitar ensembles. The sonics are absolutely jaw-dropping. For this album, turn it up, and bring the stage into your home.

|
Amanda Shires "Take it Like a Man"
again, had to stick it in the ORB

|
Jeff Tweedy "Warm & Warmer"
dBpm/repress
I ordered this at least one year ago. I had lost all hope 😕
|
So far, the Tweedy lp is highly enjoyable. The lps are clear vinyl splattered with blue and so far very quiet and flat. The jacket is a high quality gatefold with attached booklet. Great deal if your a fan.
|
The Babys - Broken Heart I forgot how good this album is. SQ is fair, music is great!
The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl AP/QRP Inspired by bslon to bring this out to play. Great album, outstanding job by Analog Productions.
Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session AP/QRP This is an awesome sonic experience. A few songs are OK, the rest is wonderful. Sonics are fabulous!
Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries Got this a few weeks ago, have had to play it several times. Fabulous!!!
Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Japanese issue, excellent piece of vinyl. Really a great album, musically.
|
I still need to dig into my Big Joni box Joel. She’s got an upcoming Atlantic years box. I’m really getting behind!
|
Dawes "Misadventures of Doomscroller"
2022/Rounder
Man, these guys just fell off my radar. I bought their first lp when it came out and now, 10 years? later, they’ve really developed as a band now based on a recent show on the Circle network of Dawes performing. I’m thinking I’ve been missing out on some great music.
|
Well guys, I'm confident in saying the Audia Flight phono stage is superior in every way to my Trio. Used high end products are an excellent value

@slaw
Good to hear Steve. Glad you got it all sorted out and enjoying 👍🏼

The Hanna-Fontanna Band-Live At Concord(CJ-11) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Neil Young-Silver & Gold Side 1
Three Dog Night-Hard Labor Side B
With only 1 Audiophile SQ level recording tells us were all prisoners to the recording and the power supplied to us. Maybe a Stromtank is something more of us should consider? With exception of Ten Years After(lack of treble) every recording was solid. Silver & Gold could be his last great recording(2000). Alicia De Larrocha stunning performance!

Grand Funk - Closer to Home
@bslon that’s a great record Bill. I have a number of copies of it.
|
@bslon +1 Hall & Oates-Abandoned Luncheonette 5* recording.
@mammothguy54 +1 George Benson-In Flight will play on next vinyl night. Not sure about the daily recap but since there was a 36 hour period that no one posted could be the reason?
|
+1 Closer To Home…”I’m Your Captain”, love that!
BTW Greg, impressive you’re staying on task A-Z cataloging. That’s challenging. Cheers!
|
Bill, at first it was daunting, but I'm making good progress. I've been putting all my new records into Discogs for the last 3 or 4 years, so I often hit big chunks of records that are already catalogued. It's also fun to re-listen to things I haven't heard for a while, in some cases, probably not since I first bought them. I will soon be moving into the Grateful Dead :)
|
Just arrived…should be working…but…1st of a wide range of new LP’s today
Pablo Casals & Rudolf Serkin : Beethoven - The Complete Cello Sonatas.
All recorded at the Prades Festival except Sonata No. 2, recorded at the Casals Festival in Perpignan.
Vinyl Passion Classical reissue 2LP set 2018. EU release. Originally released 1955.
I have most of these on original pressings/releases, but was attracted by getting new pressings with all these in a single set.
