Chico Freeman on India Navigation (Kings of Mali; Spirit Sensitive; The Outside Within); plus some other "free jazz" titles on the same label. And. . . (an admittedly guilty pleasure) my vintage copy of Midnight in Moscow by Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen. |

I play vinyl every day, but the above are constantly played. |
The Classic reissues of the Zep catalog are never far from the TT. |
At any given time I have a few LP's on hand in listening area that I consider to be both aesthetically pleasing and also sonically really nice. These are my "go to" spins and in between I check out stuff I have managed to find in the bins. Right now:
Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring ($5)
Art Farmer and Jim Hall - Big Blues ($5)
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms ($3)
Steely Dan - Gaucho ($3)
Phoebe Snow - First Album ($1)
I do have perhaps new 10-15 180G LP's stuff - some of which I am waiting to unpackage at the right time - but the point of collecting for me is "the cheap thrill" - finding a $5 or less used but near mint LP that actually sounds awesome too. As far as new stuff, I have not spent more than $25 on a new LP so have resisted the 45 RPM stuff. For example, the new Janis box is tempting but I do have good condition Cheap Thrills and Kozmic Blues and as much as I would like to hear the 180G I hesitate to drop 100 bucks on the box.
I am curious about the Shelby Lynne Just A Little' Lovin. The CD is stunning so I wonder if the vinyl can actually be any better. Nice thread! |
Soundfan-
Ziggy is on my perm rotation as well. I have the MFSL version and a UK version. I prefer the MoFi. I will look for an original pressing. |

Keithjarret...The new 45RPM Quality Record Pressing of the Shleby Lynne's "Just A Little Lovin'" is spectacular. One of the best pressings I have heard. SIMPLY STUNNING! |
Steve Tibbetts' 2nd LP ('yr') has been stalwart over the last 30-some years as his 4th LP 'Safe Journey'.
ELP's 1st LP, self titled (pink Island edition). I seem to never tire of it; same for King Crimson's 2nd LP 'In the Wake of Poseidon', which always amazes me at how much is done with so little in the way of instrumentation (of course I am a big fan of the Mellotron and play one in my own band).
I frequently play these LPs at shows as they are demonstration quality. That is how I met Albertporter. |
I'm with Ebm. On our speakers, Muddy's "Folk Singer" on 45 RPM sounds stunningly good. I also have Starker playing Bach's 6 Cello Suites on Mercury next to my turntable for frequent late night sessions. |
Wilco - All of their LPs, Tom Waits early stuff, Radiohead OK Computer, Elvis Costello Imperial Bedroom, Early Dead, Keith Richards solo stuff, Stones Exile on Main St. |
Steely Dan - Gaucho
Sometimes I can't get past side one. |
For me, Carmen McRae's 'ALFIE' in mono. When I moved to Paris, I then found out that it's a cult record there. Fortunately I didn't have to pay 35 euro's for my copy. |
Another fan of Carmen McRae only for "I AM Music"
also would add Ralph Vaughn Williams The Lark Ascending with Iona Brown |
Miles Davis Someday My Prince Will Come |
