Sorry Slaw,
Not the most precise language I've ever used in a post - I didn't intend to suggest that we live close to each other. I'm in SoCal. I was only pointing out that if Iron Butterfly is playing here, they may be out touring the land. Possibly passing your way, wherever that may be! |
You are correct! IronButterfly.com does have sbow dates.
N |
martykl,
I wasn't aware you were in my area?
This is the first I've heard of it.
Another recent record show purchase I'm currently listening to...
Big Brother & the Holding Company, "Cheap Thrills"...sounds absolutely amazing!
|
Slaw,
I may be making this up, but I think I saw a local billboard the other day (it always lists upcoming shows at our local club) with an Iron Butterfly date. They may be touring. FYI. |
Iron Butterfly "Metamorphosis".
This is one of a few lps that just brings me back to my early days of listening to music. It never fails to transport me back to a better time.
Simon & Garfunkel "Bookends". My all time favorite lp. This record still sounds SUPERB! It has all of the hallmarks of a great record. One that, upon ,each and every listen, has the same effect in, that it transports you into that specific, space, and time.
...which brings me to an appropriate ending...
Ten Years After "A Space In Time".. Need I go further???
Have a great one all.
|
Frank Marino - "Juggernaut". And a song from April Wine's "The whole world's goin' crazy" "So bad" featuring Frank Marino.

...
Chris Rea "Road To Hell"
Black Crowes "The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion"
Does anyone remember what the first pressing was?
Mine is on Def American and is a UK pressing from '92.
|
...an interesting tid-bit... since I ordered the above BD title, MOFI has increased the price by $10.00. So for whatever the outcome, I bought it at the lower price minus 15%, courtesy of SoundStageDirect.
This makes me feel even better.
|
Today:...so far...
Leslie West "Soundcheck"
Alabama Shakes "Sound & Color"
Ryley Walker "all kinds of you"
LInk Wray "LIve at the Paradisio"
(All of these titles are new to me/in my system. I just put in some new interconnects that I had burned-in for 150 hours at the manufacturer, so my findings should not be taken as a final conclusion, although, I will say, that listening to familiar lps, they are a noticeable/welcome improvement at this moment in time of their break-in.)
nutty, ghosthouse: (The LW lp arrived dished, so I'll listen again after flattening. Most of the tracks are covers. To me, they are acceptable covers but not really stand-outs. Nothing against LW as an artist. I really wasn't all that impressed on the whole. I found that I liked the two instrumental tracks best upon first listen. The "Eleanore Rigby" cover, I found fresh/interesting. Overall, I was left feeling cold. There was never one time I felt the urge to tap my feet.)
The AS lp... This is my first one. I've always been impressed when I've seen Brittany Howard sing. She's got chops! I love the band's sound and I think they are very talented. This lp was mastered by Bob Ludwig. With all of these things going for it, it is on the ATO label. I've been unimpressed 95% of the time with the end result on anything I've bought on the ATO label. I even bought the "lightweight clear vinyl". I really need to follow my instincts from now on.
The RW lp. This artist is new to me. I think he'd be classified as folk. Upon first listen, he is obviously a very talented guitar player and songwriter. If you like John Fahey, you'll like RW. He brings a fresh perspective along with some vocals as well. A very good sounding lp. I have another one of his lps on order.
(Bill Frisell also contributed to at least one track on Lucinda's "Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone".)
One of my latest record show finds... Link Wray "Live at the Paradisio". This is in no way an audiophile quality recording. However, the energy that the artist expresses in this set, his interpretation of these songs and the fact it was an analog recording, had me tapping my feet. An interesting comparison in some ways to the LW lp... to me any way.
Arriving today, the MFSL Bob Dylan "45 rpm "Nashville Skyline". I will be comparing it to my original. An underrated BD lp. Since the original was recorded in stereo, I'm excited to experience what is to come. I ordered it in August of 2013. Long wait.
All of the above should be classified as, FWIW. I do feel better now.
|
nytty,
There are lots of super-rare titles and releases in my store. some of them are very interesting. some of them let only go one or 2 tracks before I decide to listen any further. :-)
My musical tastes are completely diversified as long as performing artist is true artist and absolutely not trivial like let's say Jon Bon Jovi or Springsteen.
|
This morning I began, with a newer selection. Royal Blood "Figure it out", Little monster" and "Out of the black".
Then an slightly older one. Temple of the dog- entire albumn.
N |
According to Wikipedia, Jean-Luc was "The mothership returns, 2012".
N |
Wait--Jean-Luc Ponty in Return to Forever? When was this?
|
New Bill Frisell-
he also appears on the new Lucinda Williams & Charles Lloyd discs as well. Happy Listening!
|
Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Herbert Von Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic, remastered recording from 1963. |
czarivey-
I'm not familiar with the two artists you mentioned. So I did a quick Wikipedia check on them.
I see that Jean-Luc Ponte was in Return to Forever. That interested me. I had Civilized evil by Jean-Luc Ponte on LP when I was younger. I liked the first cut a lot, "Demagomania".
May Blitz being listed as a hard rock, progessive rock trio from the 1970's,, Im interested in hearing them as well.
N
|
nutty,
It doesn't matter. I was just making conversation and fishing for leads on good sounding pressings at the same time.
|
Return to Forever self-titled on German ECM followed by May Blitz self-titled album
|
Doesn't disappoint me...not married to any one format. I listen to CDs, HDCDs, SACDs, Vinyl and on-line/digital sources. To me, the skill and care with which the actual recording was made seems way more important in terms of sound quality than playback medium. |
slaw-
I hope I don't disapoint anyone following this thread. All of my media is CD/SACD/HDCD/DVD and downloads. I had albums when I was younger. Most of the collection was in poor shape. Someone made me an offer and I sold the lot.
It was around 400 albumns. Thankfully a lot of the classics that have been mentioned here I have heard on LP.
N
|
nutty,
I forget if your a cd or lp guy. I have searched out a few DJM pressings of EJ and if one can aquire the right ones, they sound very good. I need to look into these more at some point..
I completely forgot about the Incubus lp. I'll have to pull it out again.
|
Eton John- "Captain Fantastic". Listened to the entire albumn. I had the pleasure of seeing Sir Elton in Louisville, Ky when he and Billy Joel had their joint tour. Fantastic show. I love Elton John, however my wife and I thought Billy Joel had a better show that evening.
Then I squeezed in one cut from the 1981 release of "Iron age" by Mothers Finest- "Gone with the rain".
Incubus- "Morning View"- entire albumn.
N
|
I ordered Leslie West "Soundcheck". After reading all of your feedback, listening to several cuts and reading the guest appearances, I had to have it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Today I listened to Monty Montgomery "Mirror". Check out track 10, When will I ". It's a live recording and a very good one.

Found it, Slaw. A 2015 release...sonics seem very good. Haven’t heard enough of it to know what I think of the music yet (does he still have the fire?). Do like his cover of You Are My Sunshine (several covers on this one). From Track 6 (A Stern Warning) it seems like he still has decent chops. His voice seems to have held up pretty well which kind of surprised me. Don't know how much auto-tune they had to use.
As far as BAD sound quality, it’s some of the post-Mountain (archival?) releases of so-called Mountain recordings...from concerts etc. that are just plain terrible sound-wise. There oughta be a law (or a good lawsuit)! to prevent that kind of stuff.
|
Slaw - pleased you are checking out Leslie West. I am not familiar with that one...my bet is the music will be good but I'm anxious the sound quality will be bad and turn you off. I'm going to see if I can find it on Spotify (or YouTube). Get a feel for what that ones about. By the way - I definitely pay attention to your music posts. Appreciate them.
|
nutty, the Jack Bruce/Roy Gallagher video was awesome!
ghosthouse, I just bought Leslie West "Soundcheck", looking forward to listening soon.
|
Nutty,
"Green Manalishi" is indeed a Peter Green composition. One of my favorites, at that. Like "Black Magic Woman" (popularized by Carlos Santana) it's another Green song that's often misattributed to a band that covered it. Sadly, Green had a relatively short career peak before LSD and/or mental health problems felled him. The stuff he did with Mayall and on the first four Fleetwood Mac albums is IMO just great, though. |
ghosthouse -
I don't own any UK, but I have heard it on LP when I was younger.
Regarding Mountain, great call. It's been a while since I've heard that.
"Mississippi Queen" is on FM so much that the rest of the albumn often gets overlooked.
N
|
Hey Nutty - Don't miss John Wetton's band, UK. Quite an illustrious cast of players. S/T 1st & Danger Money are good, I think. Hope you will check them out if you aren't already familiar with 'em.
re Peter Green...yeah, we got plenty love for PG too.
BTW - adding further to this threads "sub-theme", if you will, of stellar but under-appreciated musicians and bands...how about Leslie West and Felix Pappalardi? Talking Mountain of course and in that regard I also think Corky Laing is WAY overlooked when it comes to rock drummers. Check out Track 3 from "Climbing"...Never in My Life. He is just ferocious. My 2 cents. |
I listened to "Hard Road" by Peter Green, (headphones on YouTube. Obviously not the best way to listen, but I only have my phone and headphones on me). It's a great cut. I need to invest in a better copy.
N |
slaw - watched the link. Quite the story teller. I'm be listening to more of Dave Alvin for sure, thanks.
Today I pulled out a few cuts from Wishbone Ash. One of the first rock bands to introduce twin harmony lead guitars. "Just testing" featured John Wetton. Bassist who has played with Asia, King Krimson and Uriah Heep.
Any Uriah Heep fans out there?

martykl-
Ahhh- Peter Green. Didn't he do "Green Manalishi" before Judas Preist?
