@big_greg 

Brian, I'm continuing to work through my collection and get them all play-graded and in Discogs.  What a long strange trip it's been!  And still a ways to go... the Dead occupy a lot of space in my collection.

Ahhhh…..yep, been there, done that. Good for you on all counts. 👍🏼

Traffic / Shootout At The Fantasy Factory

​​​​​​​1973 Island

Pleasantly stuck in Traffic tonight. <hehe> A favorite band, terrific music and SQ on these LPs. Also played Welcome To The Canteen (Live) 1971 , dreadful sonics.

Traffic / John Barleycorn Must Die
1970 United Artists

Going with another one, more terrific music and SQ. Such a great band!


Jim Capaldi / Whale Meat Again
1974 Island

A delightful album by Traffic’s drummer.

Great White - Once Bitten.  I remember being really into this when if first came out.  I thought they showed a lot of promise, and then...

@mammothguy54 Great to read about your new toys, Joel. 

Basie Jam and any Dan is a super session too!

Thanks Spencer much appreciated.

Today was some good Pink Floyd.  The Final Cut and The Division Bell

Traffic  -  The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

And one more time,

Steely Dan  -  Everything Must Go   AP/QRP 45rpm.  I have never heard my system sound so good.  Really looking forward to having more than 100 hours on the speakers.  Only 8 hours thus far, and they are really something!

Nazareth-Hot Tracks Side 1

Irene Cara-What A Feelin' Side 2

Mozart-Piano Concerto No.22(London L-28C1001) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Jethro Tull-Crest Of A Knave Side 1

Bruce Springsteen-The River Side 4

CSNY-4 Way Street(German pressing) Side IV

The Jeff Beck Group-Rough And Ready Side 1 SQ*

Earl Klugh-Dream Come True Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Joe Cocker-ST Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Played an extra side tonight(9). Earl Klugh won the SQ crown. SQ* Jeff Beck had great treble and bass but the mids were recessed. Cocker(live) recording was aggressive in nature but fits the artist. Great version of St. James Infirmary Blues!

 

Mary Chapin Carpenter / The Dirt And The Stars
2020 Lambent Light

Very enjoyable double album, not a fan of the clear vinyl though.

Heart / Dreamboat Annie
1976 Mushroom Records

Nice album, really nice SQ.


Fleetwood Mac / Heroes Are Hard To Find
1974 Warner Bros.

Not my favorite Mac album, songs and sonics aren’t up to par compared to their other efforts imo. Heroes and Come A Little Bit Closer keep me coming back. Weird album cover, don’t ya think?

the new folk sound of terry callier 

exquisite record. filed in the "do not sell, ever" pile 

Neil Young - Tonight’s The Night

1975 Reprise Records 

Early pressing and it surprising still sounds great.

Genesis - Wind And Wuthering

1976 ATCO

Hadn’t played this one in a very long time. Great album prior to Genesis going more radio friendly. And while You're Own Special Way was a radio hit it really is a great song.
