Whats on your turntable tonight?

Blew the rest of my April vinyl budget wad today.  I bought the Jimi Hendrix UHQR.  

That album was instrumental in my growing up years, since the day it came to market.  If I didn't buy it while still available I would regret that for all my years remaining.  I won't miss the money come May.  But I will be able to enjoy the album, in its best possible sonic ability, for all my years remaining.

I have life stories that center around that album.  But I'll leave them alone for now.

Michael Franks  -  Tiger In The Rain   Direct Disc Labs, an excellent issue!

Dave Mason  -  Alone together Again   I have the original and just had to get this issue when it was released.  Dave did a stellar job bringing to market this 2021 rendition of the very same album.

Barn Owl / V

Fresh in the mail today from Russia, a Japanese pressing of Dizzy Gillespie - Duets. Dizzy had summit meetings with Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt which yielded 2 barn busting blowing sessions in Duets and Sonny Side Up. Incredible performances all around which put both these disks as deserted island options. Tonight is the type of night that leaves me especially grateful for having the means to put a good analog rig together.

Very cool @arize84!
