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?

WTH.
Really not sure what is going on with Slaw?
We had some unfortunate words a short while ago that should have been avoided.
If you reading this Slaw, it is all good and its just a hobby we all share.
And yes I have changed speakers again....lol!

And yes Happy "Winners" day to all my American brothers ( and sisters) out there.

Was digging some UFO earlier Nutty!

It really is a shame they did such a poor overblown job on the Shinedown production as some good songs in there.

All I am going to say is it sucks getting old!
20 years ago I would have already been bounding around and back at work.

Still plenty of time to listen to some sounds.

Another SACD.
Regatta De Blanc... The Police
Nutty.
Was so close to hitting play on that album but went with Black gives way to Blue, Alice in Chains instead. They were right next to each other in my Deezer playlist!
Crazy situation where I can buy SACD cheaper from England including shipping to me here in the USA than buying here.

That being said, latest new to me SACD.

Sacred Love .... Sting
Actually felt like flipping vinyl today.

Scarabus... Ian Gillan Band

Looks like it have never been played, no hiss or pops or ticks, sweet.
Nutty.
I like to cover all media bases...lol
Some days I have the vinyl itch
Some days it might be cassette
Then maybe cd or sacd
Lazy days require streaming though....lol.

There is a place for all media after all the journey is music!
@ghosthouse
You better believe it!
Even the cassette version is awesome sauce!
BTW that and vinyl are the media I have it on...lol
@ghosthouse 

I use a Nak 582 deck, still going strong.

When I was a kid before those new fangled shiny silver discs arrived first thing we did with a new record was put it on a tape so we could play it in the car after a few beers too many driving home from the local pub....
Now I feel really old....lol
August.... Eric Clapton.

Easily one of the finest sq cassette in my tape collection.
Days of No Trust..... Magnum.

Original first edition Dutch pressing.

Sublime......
@nutty.
I have an original Dutch pressing of Bloodletting that will make the hairs on your neck stand up! Should do at $75! Ouch!
The vinyl is well superior to any of the CD versions I have heard.
Next up.
Goodnight L.A. .... Magnum.

Their last album with Polydor.
Nos original UK pressing, sealed first play.

Yes Mr postie brought me some goodies today from Europe!

A classic.

Double Vision ... Foreigner.

Vinyl

Near mint and cost me .99cent! Lol
Just arrived today.

Sleepwalking .... Magnum.

On cassette, a Sweden first pressing for Polydor.
To my knowledge the vinyl version was released on Music For Nations label.
Odd......

Even though it is not one of my fave albums of theirs I have to say the sq on this tape is sublime.
And now for today’s purchase.
An astronomical 99 cents......
And it is near flawless, not a scratch and no ticks or noise at all besides the noise that is supposed to be there!

The Dream of the Blue Turtles ... Sting.

Vinyl
Sacred Blood, Divine Lies ... Magnum.

180GM vinyl Steamhammer records.

Have to admit my Gold note ph10 phono does sound a lot better through the Ayre AX7E than it did through the Lyngdorf 2170.

More " analog"
I am afraid I have to blame Ghosthouse for this next one!

Consequences part 1... Godley & Creme.

Not on Tidal or Deezer so had to go and buy the box set vinyl from eBay!

Different......
@ghosthouse 
The copy is excellent, rather odd in places though.

So Consequences part 3 ... Godley & Creme
Odd in a good way but still odd...lol.
Although to hear all the wonderful British accents was heart warming and Mr. Hague accent sinking the more he drank was funny.
Yes a thoroughly enjoyable and compelling skit that I had to get to the end of.
Into the valley of the mooning .... Magnum.

The most I have ever paid for vinyl.. Ouch!

But had to have it.....
Last of my new vinyl to spin, for now at least.

The Visitation .. Magnum.

Steamhammer limited 190gm yellow vinyl edition.

Pricey but superb sq.
Its a vinyl kind of night.

Strange Little Birds .... Garbage.

Brand new 180GM double record set.
Fresh from Germany.

Breath of Life ... Magnum.

Original Steamhammer German pressing.

Excellent albums Nutty.
I always used Barracuda as a great test track with that opening bass.

I was definitely smitten by Ann,s vocals at the time....lol.

They went after the hits which admittedly made they tons of cash but those two albums are their high points imho.
Ghosthouse.

I am pretty much a sucker for most female vocal fronted rock bands though.
Think

Concrete Blonde, Hole, Garbage, Heart, Pretty Reckless, The Pretenders, The Euryhmics, Evanescense, Lacuna Coil etc etc.

And truckloads more.....
Ghosthouse
I will be checking Joan out, thank you.

A trip to the LRS today netted some new tapes.

First up

Revenge ... Eurythmics.

Anne Lennox sure has some range and power!
Saved this till last as someone said the sq on this tape was one of the best ever heard. Its definitely up there.

Songs from the Big Chair ... Tears For Fears.

Cassette
Even though I have this album on CD, 45rpm vinyl and 24/192 MQA how could I not buy it for $2 on tape.

August and Everything ... Counting Crows.

One of the seminal albums of the 90,s imho.
