@slaw Steve, you absolutely must get it. When you do, let’s know what you think. It's a nice clean recording.

Snuffy Jenkins & Pappy Sherrill – 33 Years Of Pickin’ And Pluckin’  (Rounder 1971)

In the room recording. Bluegrass baby, replete with raspy fiddle. Awesome.

Howdy gents, 

Lynryrd Skynyrd - Gold & Platinum - weird mastering job

James Taylor - Sweet Baby James - early pressing - excellent 

Thinkin’ about this Funk album...

The Beatles at Shea Stadium, Grand Funk Railroad. The ticket sales speak for themselves.

Bee Gees-Main Course Side 1

Tchaikovsky-Symphony No.4(RCA VICS-1100) Side 1

Bruce Hornsby-The Way It Is Side A

Giuffria-Silk + Steel Side Steel

Joe Williams-A Man Ain’t Supposed To Cry Side B

Gene Watson-Reflections Side 1

Sonny Criss-Warm & Sonny Side 2 SQ*

Bette St. Claire-Basin Street East(1987 repress) Side 1 + 2

No recording made Audiophile SQ status which has happened a few times. On the positive side nothing sounded poor enough to impair the music. Sonny Criss just missed Audiophile SQ due to being to forward and aggressive but does take the SQ crown. Main Course was a close 2nd in SQ very good bass/drive but felt moderately closed in (my system)? Anyone interested in 1980’s slick hard rock/pop(Bon Jovi/Europe/Night Ranger) should enjoy Silk + Steel.

Joni Mitchell - Songs To A Seagull. Reprise reissue, believe early 70’s, originally 1968.

Chris Isaak - Heart Shaped World - RSD issue - holy f#&@ this thing sounds KILLER! 


Savoy Brown / Street Corner Talking
1971 Parrot

Drop the tonearm, close my eyes and I’m back standing 15’ from the stage at the Salem (Ore.) Armory. Too cool, great album!

Peter Frampton / Wind Of Change
1972 A&M

Frampton’s debut album after leaving Humble Pie in ‘71 has Ringo, Billy Preston and others contributing. Nice SQ.

Tom Waits And Crystal Gayle ‎– One From The Heart - The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Columbia 1982)

@slaw Steve, I really enjoyed my trip through my Grand Funk albums.  They were a great band!  Now I'm in Grateful Dead territory...
