Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

Last of my fresh purchases.

Alf...Alison Moyet.

Still one of my favourite female singers and this l.p. is superbly produced and mastered to boot.
@reubent 

Yea, just never found the vinyl at a fair price or condition until now.
Tbh I am in a bit of a vinyl binge for the bands from my English youth of the 80,s.
Simple minds, talking heads, the cars, Thompson twins, Frankie goes to Hollywood etc etc.
Its a retro blast.....lol
Nice Nutty!
Huge Dream Theater fan here.

Black clouds and silver linings is a top spin for me.
@reubent 

Haha
Yea probably10 years ago I would not have admitted it either.....😂.
Tbh some of the 80,s I would like to forget...like big hair and medallions!

Now I am just appreciating how well the majority of these albums were recorded.

Have Men At Work ready to spin next.

Crazy For You ..... Earl Klugh.

1981 Vinyl us cleaned.
SQ is spectacular, better than the mfsl Finger Paintings by Earl I also own.
@jafant 

Eat the Elephant by A Perfect Circle is an absolutely sublime album, I listened on tidal and have just ordered the vinyl version
Donkey punch the night... Puscifer.

Maynard on top form on this group of "covers"
@jafant 
Yes Paz was a darn good bass player too, from the Pixies I believe.
Just more to listen to!
Evening Boxer!

Ignition ..... John Waite.

Another really crisp recording on an original 1982 record that I us cleaned before playing.
Now and Zen... Robert Plant.

Do not really care what Michael green says, there truly is some poorly recorded and mastered music out there.

This is NOT one of them!
Sublime even on cassette.
Mott the Hoople
Real blast from the past.
Very underrated band imho.
Nice choices Woobie
Brand new Sevendust album, out today


All I see is War..... Sevendust.

More melodic than some of their older stuff, thumbs up so far.
Another very productive trip to our LRS.
As I walked in the owner was just putting out some new stuff from a recent collection purchase.
Scored 3 Queen albums

So in no particular order the next 3 served up are....

News Of The World
A Night At The Opera
A Day At The Races

Nutty

We saw a7x couple weeks ago at Rockville, awesome! Still one of all time fave hard rock bands. Nightmare is their best album imho , not one single bad or filler track on it. Victim is my all time fave a7x track.
And back in 89 or 90 saw Queen live at Wembly Stadium, mind blowing stuff.

Have Collective soul on cassette but not vinyl.
I absolutely love this thread as its geared towards great music of any medium.
Vinyl, CD, streaming, cassette, fm radio you name it, you can post about it right here.
Heard a lot of new to me music just from other people's posts here.
Great job Nutty!
@slaw 

Yes all 3 are I think original UK releases and all in pristine condition. If they have been played it is not many times imho.

Night at the opera is a 1975 Elektra label
Day at the races is a 1976 Elektra label
News of the world is a 1976 Queen Production
August... Eric Clapton

Synchronicity... The Police

Both on cassette.

Our LRS just throws all the tapes in big boxes and sells them $10 for 5 tapes so I always have a rummage round to see what's new.
Just could not help myself

Again

Eat The Elephant... APC

My fave track so far.. "So long and thanks for the fish"
Update to Queen albums
Elektra was the U.S. release
EMI would have been the UK release
Does not really matter to much to me.
@slaw 

Talking of Counting Crows and Collective Soul.

Both are playing at our "new" outdoor concert venue this summer.

Will be catching both.
@slaw 

No I totally understand.
At least they are original Elektra pressings with the butterfly label.
I agree that most European pressings do seem to be mastered "different" to USA pressing.


Definitely happy Mothers Day!

Nutty

Talking of the Beatles
I was in a funky old antiques store in Savannah, Georgia last night where we went for a short weekend break

They had a copy of Abbey Road

$600......

I left......
Our FYE having a vinyl sale today...

Lullaby and the ceaseless roar... Robert Plant

Double album on 180GM AND CD included.
Isolate and Medicate... Seether.

One of those sad occasions when the vinyl copy is inferior to the CD.
The l.p. sounds very closed in and 2 dimensional, muffled, hard to pinpoint anything much in the mix.
Good job it was 50% off!
In the Beginning ..... Journey.

Great double album f their early work before they became MTV stars.
An oldie but a goodie

Made In Japan... Deep Purple

Original vinyl from the UK! Must have owned this for 40 plus years!
Paradise Theater.... Styx!

Saw them live on this tour in England many many moons ago.....
They opened with Rockin the Paradise and those were the days when concerts believed the bigger the amp stacks the better.
It was LOUD!
@slaw 
I have in through the outdoor on a Venezuelan release
And the sq is terrible tbh.

How is your copy?
@slaw 

Yea, you could be right on the origin country, I have a few other albums from south America that are not so hot either.
May have to look for domestic then of in through the out door as I loved it since it first came out.

Was thinking of some Neil Young later, Tidal has some fresh MQA titles
I think only the French themselves would agree with that statement Slaw.
I cannot think of one saving grace for France from my experience!
Apologies to any French descendants reading this...lol
