@boxer12,
Oddly enough, I may be just as excited about your (rack) as you are?
………………………..
I just realized how that may have come across...…. oops.

The xx "I See You"
The Beatles "A Hard Day’s Night" mono box
The Rosebuds "Loud Planes Fly Low"

|
The Alarm - "Declaration" |
(FWIW, I'm still here, I've planned out my lps for the next couple hours.) |
|
@slaw - more listening, less planning...... ;~)
Did you get ANY sleep last night or today? Staying' up all night again? |
@reubent ,
Another "all-nighter". The MUSIC, it's just so intoxicating! Cueing up The Rosebuds right now! If you haven't yet, check them out. Their story is kind of remarkable as well.
|
@slaw - Well good luck to you. I admire your dedication. Unfortunately I have family obligations and a hockey game tomorrow. I don't think my team would appreciate me coming to the game in a basket after staying up all night........ So, I'm outta here at about 2:15 am EST. I've given it the ol' college try, but I really do need to get some sleep.
Keep up the good fight brother....... So much vinyl, so little time...... |
Grateful Dead / Reckoning |
@reubent ,
No need to apologize brother. I really appreciate your input!
|
@boxer12,
Your post of GD has me wondering... ":In The Dark" is a superior pressing.
Nice that we have great lps to listen to.
|
"In The Dark" is a heck of a lp! Superior pressing? Yes. |
World Party - "Goodbye Jumbo"
|
Son Volt - "Okemah and the Melody of Riot" Record Store Day Exclusive - Red Vinyl
|
Slaw / In the dark is a great pressing! If you can find "Go to Heaven" that is a good pressing as well, but a little less so than in the dark. The music is great however. This "Reckoning" album is a first pressing that I've owned since about 1980. Been played a gizzilion times & still in great shape. It is also a good pressing.
Kiln / 1994 - 2005 |
Sorting through a garage sale haul today. Listened to “Diva - Bande Original du Filme”, The Temptations “Psychedelic Shack”, Marcia Griffiths “Steppin’”, The Last Poets “The Last Poets”, Charlie Byrd “Black Byrd”. Whew! |
Adrian Belew / Twang Bar King |
reubent, How was the hockey game?
16f4, Welcome! |
Boxer12,
Thanks. Been trying to hit the turntable for a few days and found a great stash at a garage sale yesterday so have no excuse to not indulge. Lots of 60s and 70s R&B and funk. No Icelandic death metal, though. |
Hiss Golden Messenger / Hallelujah Anyhow |
@boxer12 - We tied the hockey game 3-3. Went into sudden death OT, 3 on 3, but no score. I'll take the tie. Keeps my team in first place in our division....
BTW, I'm a huge fan of Adrian Belew. Love Lone Rhino, Twang Bar King, Young Lions, Mr. Music Head, Inner Revolution and The Acoustic Adrian Belew. I've seen him here in Cincinnati many times playing with The Bears and also playing as Adrian Belew, with Psycodots playing as his backup band. Always a great show. |
Vangelis - Music from the original soundtrack - "Chariots of Fire"
Polydor – PD-1-6335 Vinyl, LP, Album, PRC-Richmond Pressing
I haven't listened to this in years. It's pretty good, if your in the mood for that sort of thing.
|
Julie London - "Make Love to Me"
I just pulled this out a a crate of records that was gifted to my from my wife's father. I am not familiar with Julie London, but I saw her name in the "best female vocalist" thread and I thought I would check it out. The copy I received is in outstanding condition, considering it is from 1957. The sound quality is very good and the vocals are excellent. The type of music is not really my cup-o-tea. But I can imagine it was fairly risqué in 1957.
|
The Alarm - "Eye of the Hurricane"
|
Mushroom
reubent, I've only seen him play with King Crimson (which was awesome) but never on his own. Would LOVE to. I also own all those albums you listed and agree they are all good. Also have a couple bears albums. |
Roger McGuinn - "Back From Rio" - An outstanding album from Roger McGuinn and featuring some fine musicians, including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello, David Crosby, Chris Hillman and more.
Almost a perfect album, but marred by one incredibly bad song - "Car Phone". Otherwise, a fine choice for a Desert Island album. |
|
Bob Dylan - "Highway 61 Revisited" - Columbia/Sundazed Re-Issue LP 5071
|
Grateful Dead / Go To Heaven |
Opened a can of Grateful Dead tonight:
In the dark
Terrapin station
Winterland
Bears Choice
|
Vangelis - "Heaven and Hell" - Somehow I have two copies of this on my record shelf. Playing one tonight, trying to remember why I bought it back in the late 70’s/early 80’s. So far, half way through side one, I can’t say that I know what I must have been thinking at that time......
Edit - OK, the second half of the first side got MUCH better. Now I remember why I bought it. It's Jon Anderson singing "So Long Ago, So Clear". Of course, Jon Anderson singing almost anything is a treat...... |
+1
Of course, Jon Anderson singing almost anything is a treat.
|
Yea he really brought it on "Swingin'".. ;-) |
@redchaser
Yea he really brought it on "Swingin'".. ;-)
Yes, yes he did...... ;~) |
Huey Lewis and the News- Sports
Not my cup of tea. My wife bought it while I was buying "good" stuff at a used record store.
Have to say, SQ is quite good and most of the songs on it were hits. |
Too much time on the road lately with the new gig. Nice when you return from a trip to new vinyl
Alan Parsons - I robot - Mofi 45rpm - pretty amazing, I have wanted this version for a while after reading a review about how good this pressing is and they were not kidding.
Funny, I bought it from Music Direct last week when they were sending me a new box for my Donald Fagen Nightfly One Step and they were so cool on the phone (and only charged me shipping for the replacement box) that I felt obligated to buy something from them. The Alan Parsons seemed like a deal at 10% off.
|
Nick Culp - The Culprits Blues - this came as a recommendation from someone on the forum, can't remember who, but it is a really great despite the new copy I just recieved being a bit warped. SQ is excellent. |
Leftover Salmon / Something Higher |
|
Mark Lanegan / The winding sheet |
Father John Misty - "God's Favorite Customer"
|
@boxer12,
