|
|
John Tesh-Live At Red Rocks(Cassette Tape) Unboxed my mint Onkyo TA 2058 deck out of curiosity and picked the first cassette with HQ sound.
|
New York Voices-ST(CD) Yes, another great release from 1989 kicks off Sunday night vinyl.

|
Daryl Hall John Oates-Change Of Season(CD)
King Tee-The Triflin' Album(Japanese CD)
LeAnn Rimes-ST(CD)
IMO these are all 5 star recordings! With the recent threads about Hip/Hop and Country I thought I would spin a couple of my favorites. Yes, King Tee is vulgar/violent and disrespectable to women but there is a sense of comedy in this recording. LeAnn Rimes is just an incredible vocalist regardless of your opinion of country music. My rant is over Sunday night vinyl begins.
|
Slayer-Divine Intervention(CD)Last great Slayer recording?
Johnny Gill-ST(CD) Smooth!
Deana Carter-The Deana Carter Collection(CD) Mature Country

An extra dose of digital jump starts Vinyl Night.
|
Slipknot-Iowa(CD)
Candlemass-Death Magic Doom(Japanese CD)
Both are extreme metal masterpieces of the 21st century! Candlemass is traditional doom metal where Iowa is more difficult to categorize.
|
Katie Melua-Piece By Piece(CD) One of the standout recordings of the 2000's. A rare Thursday night(1980's) vinyl night follows.
|
Steve Tyrell-This Guy's In Love(CD) Kicks off a "favorites" vinyl night!

Maura O'Connell-Just In Time(CD) Another great example of how strong 1989 was for recordings. Virtually unknown with the mainstream, this is easily a Top 100 recording of any genre released in 1989.
|
Helene Segara-Cceur De Verre/Heart Of Glass(CD)
Shana Halligan-Back To Me(CD)
Greg Holden-Chase The Sun(CD)
Incognito-100 Degrees And Rising(CD)
6 days back from Axpona had enough Billie Eilish to last 2x lifetimes. All these recordings had above average SQ and content superior to Billie Eilish.
|
Saraya-ST(CD) Another great 1989 release. Easily a Top 5 Pop/Rock recording from 89. FWIW fronted(vocals) by Sandi Saraya with a mix of Pat Benatar/Kim Carnes vocals and a world-class guitar player Tony Rey that is not an EVH clone.
|
Ashanti-ST(CD)

Dirty Dancing-(Soundtrack) CD
Blue Magic-ST(Japanese Pressing) CD
Sibelius-Salonen Conducts Sibelius(Sony SXK 64578) CD
Dirty Dancing is one of my wife's favorite movies. Any recording with Jennifer Warnes is OK by me. Blue Magic-ST is one of the best R&B albums of the 70's on par with any EWF, Flack, Gaye, Green, Mayfield and Wonder recording!
|
Just Like Heaven-(Soundtrack) CD Kicks off Sunday night vinyl.

|
Loretta Hagen-Mud And Stone(CD) An excellent slice of Americana kicks off Friday night vinyl.
|
Smash Alternatives-14 Classic New Wave Hits(CD)HIPD-40023
Anita Baker-Rapture(CD)
Michael Tearson?(music critic) "Sometimes the masses get it right" This quote strongly applies to "Rapture". Both CD's are the perfect segue to Friday night 80's vinyl.
|
AC/DC-Live At River Plate(CD)
Atlantic-Ultimate '70s R&B Smashes(R2 72964/CD)
Elvis-An Afternoon In The Garden(CD)
Melissa Etheridge/ST(CD)
Another diverse mix of music! Etheridge's debut is criminally overlooked even by Audiophiles? IMO a top 25 pop/rock recording of the 1980's! River Plate is very well recorded for this genre.
|
The Mike Longo Trio-Still Swinging(CAP 959 CD) An excellent under the radar jazz recording kicks off an abbreviated Friday night vinyl session.
|
Valerie Joyce-New York Blue(CD) Sets a cool jazz vibe for Sunday night vinyl.
