The Band - Long Black Veil, Live from Woodstock.
In a soundtrack full of sub par recordings, somehow The Band and CSNY snuck away with quality recordings. If you listen to Suite Judy Blue Eyes from Woodstock, Crsoby goes as far as telling a sound engineer to adjust on the fly.

Porcupine Tree :o

Sitting here listening to Seventh Sojourn by The Moody Blues on a Turntable feeding into a Marantz 2225. I've gone 30 years back in time and love it. No remote, no replay, having to get off my butt to flip the album. I had forgotten just how wonderful the sonics are with vinyl, especially the depth.
Just may have a CD burning party.......
-
Good choice
;D
-
Darn...Rhapsody does not have it. :(

Any one of the 200 LPs I picked up last weekend (Saturday) and yesterday!! :P :P :P Hooked up with a guy at a garage sale, unloading his collection (mostly estate sale type stuff), and grabbed over 200 of them @ $0.50 each. Covers range from fair to good, but the albums I grabbed are very clean, I would say G+ to VG+ for most of them. I am stoked. However, now I definitely have to find a bigger storage setup. I have easily surpassed my current racks capacity, by about 250+ albums. The problems I create for myself.
-
Great score icravcarver.

One of the last great rock & roll albums is by a ska band? Lol.
As absurd as my claim may be, one of the first greats is by a doo wop group. I do give props to Jack White. He's out there making rock and roll for the sake of making rock and roll.

Pink Floyd DSOTM on vinyl. Bought a copy on eBay (with posters and decals) and it's easily mint condition. :)
Love vinyl but it has it's drawbacks such as having to get up and flip the LP over every 20 minutes or so...real pain. Left the house the other day with an LP playing and came back three hours later; that was good for the stylus I'm sure. Too many years of being able to walk away and just let the CD end.
So, there you have it. Listening to some very vintage music (albeit timeless) and having a Klondike Bar. :)

Delta airlines announcing my flight from Detroit to Pittsburgh is both oversold and late.
...If you can take the delay, you can get $$$$ off additional flights which you can sell to get $$$ for equipment!!! EASY audio cash!!! 8) 8) 8)
-
Great idea.....but the airlines give credits in travel vouchers, not cash. :(
-
1) Browse Craigslist nationally for that ONE deal of a lifetime.
2) Use voucher(s) to fly to location of said deal.
3) If item is too big / impractical / volatile to come back via air, ship it to yourself.
;D ;D ;D ;D

Last night--one of the most technically challenged DJs I've every encountered--great selection of music to keep the crowd going (and me moderately entertained), but believes that an EQ profile should look like Joan Rivers' enhanced smile (everything above 5kHz sears, everything below 250Hz pounds, but nothing in between). Also seems to find clip indicators an integral part of the light show. What a way to make good music sound baaad...

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (the album, and the song, which is coincidentally on the album).
All the Girls Love Alice, Dirty Little Girl, Grey Seal, Roy Rogers, and especially Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding seem to bring out the best of my system. Perhaps the Para-dig-em sound is just right for those gritty guitar driven and early valve synth sounds.

Does anybody here play tunes with Pandora.
I have over 20,000 of my favorite tunes in my computer, so don't really need that, but it can be fun and educational.
The quality is not quite up to my uncompressed, lossless FLAC files, but most tunes sound very good.
For those here not familiar with Pandora, you type in an artist you like. Then Pandora plays that artist and artist that are similiar. You can click "up" or "down" as a few songs play, and soon the thing will be programed in to that sound. It does an excellent job, and can be kinda nice having songs picked for the mood you might be in. Radio can't do that.
It is a good place to find music similiar to what you like but have not yet discovered or have forgotten about. I have been playing Pandora from time to time for over a year, and have discovered some good stuff. I bet it would really be excellent for people stuck in an office - much better than an ipod.

(http://)
For me, a guilty pleasure. One of the finest progressive rock albums of all time.
Wore out a couple of these on vinyl back in the day. Working on wearing out my second copy of the CD :)
Anytime I listen to Bill Bruford, I think of a quote I once heard in admiration of Fred Astaire by someone witnessing him perform the "Dancing on the Ceiling" bit from Royal Wedding. "Ann Miller was a great dancer. Martha Graham was a great dancer. Gene Kelly was a great dancer. Fred Astaire came from another planet."
Bruford is (IMHO) the undisputed master of odd time signatures.
I'd likely pay $50 for a concert ticket to hear him drum his fingers on a tabletop.

Bruford kicks ass! . That last time I saw him live, was when the Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe came to town. Great show! Grin Grin Grin

One of my all time favorite singers died this week.
Phoebe Snow.
She is a truly special talent. She sings in the style of the low light Blues women, but does it better than all. She is not as famous as some because she cut her career to care for her "special" daughter.
Few have or will ever sing like Phoebe Snow.
I advise a dark room with candles. If you can lure or dope a girl in, that would be a plus. If not, Phoebe will be enough.

Went to the Record Show at the Radisson in Greentree today.
If you pay extra, you can get in one hour before the opening to the ‘general public’.
They got me the first time with that scam. Never again!
Today was a bit disappointing to be honest. I did see an original pressing of the “Doors” Soft Parade but its condition did not justify the $20 asking price, IMHFO.
Still, I ended up dropping $29 on the few I could find just to validate my efforts.
I’m cleaning them now with hope that their sound quality is as good as their surface condition appears.
Jerry's has me so spoiled.
I need to get over to Eides, never been there yet.

I first pronounce my bias. Being a Pittsburgh native Benny Carter is in the all-time top five IMO.
But combine Benny with Gene Harris and all hell breaks loose. Again, IMHO, no one ran the 88’s better than Gene when it comes to somehow making all the crap in life seem totally inconsequential. He just never fails to make me feel good, no matter what is happening.
This one’s on my personal short list for desert island picks.

Eagles - Hotel California (Vinyl - of course).
I am debating about putting on my Telarc copy of Tchaikovsky's 1812 (my pristine Salvation army find - almost brand new for cryin out loud). The cannon bursts will most likely wake up the whole house. (Last time I listened to it, the meters on my TFM55 were pegging about 0.5 watts at the louder passages, then the cannons hit, and the needle jumped past 5 watts - half way or better! :o :o) Freaking awesome, but definitely one to play when I don't have to worry about waking anyone up!

I play a lot of vinyl. I went down and took that photo mainly to show the clamp for Kingman's Clamp share postings. The photo is a little to dark to show I used the clamp from my record cleaning machine. :laugh: :laugh: Actually, I don't believe a clamp is necessary or desirable if you use a good mat. It is better to just spend the clamp money on that. By design, TT motors are low torque fragile things and any drag is bad. Of course I am not talking about the DJ TTs.

In memory of my best friend who waged the mother of all wars on cancer for 8 years and next to my own father, is the benchmark of everything I do in life, who passed yesterday.
Miles Davis – Kind of Blue - his personal favorite - on vinyl of course.
He introduced me to the joy of music and the passion for its perfect reproduction. More importantly, he showed everyone he met the passion we should all have for life. There are no ordinary moments.

I finally broke down and opened up this Rhino 180g reissue of "Young, Loud and Snotty," I found years ago in a used bin. I was trying to hold off until I was ready to rip it but I figure it needs a few plays first anyway. It sounds like shit :D but its too good of a record for me to care.
(http://s.discogss.com/image/R-1460500-1275200899.jpeg)
-
Ajaye, if you do rip this LP, PLEASE let me obtain a copy of it.
I have it on CD, but, again, the quality is very poor. I don't see how the vinyl copy could sound worse. :)
I Need Lunch and Sonic Reducer are absolutely badass.
-
I have the original on vinyl. I grew up on punk/hardcore, most of my record collection is in this genre. Overall, the audio quality is definitely not good. Even re-issues still sound like ass but what do you expect. Most of these recordings were made in low budget home studios.

No problem. This is one of my all time favorite NY (by way of Ohio!) "punk" albums. If you look at the back of your CD, it probably says in the credits "special thanks Bob Clearmountain." He actually played bass on the album because Magnum quit or got fired or something. I wish he engineered it too, I had higher hopes for this "exact replica of the original release." or however Rhino words it.
Reverend I think is pretty much confirming my suspicions, just a poorly engineered record.

Well, what I have is a CD that was ripped from the original at 128kb/s, so on top of poor mastering, it's just poor quality.
I don't suppose you own any Rocket from the Tombs, do you? They never officially released anything, but, high quality bootlegs are existent, although rare. :)

That show was better than I expected. I don't usually spend that kind of money for dinosaur acts, but my brother wanted to go so I went as much for the hang time as the music. I really dug the opening act as well, which was an unexpected bonus. Zac Starkey is better than I realized. I wish Pino had been as forward in the mix as "holographic Ox" was.

One of the perks of having a wife in the radio industry are free tickets. ;D Yes, they sounded much better then I expected. Zac is a hell of a drummer and I like the video tributes they did with John and Keith. We missed the opening band, we were in the parking lot pounding Perpetual IPA's.
-
I thought the video tributes were very well done. I didn't mean to seem dismissive of them, I was just bummed that I had to strain to hear Pino. Those bass line are so vital to The Who's music, especially Quadrophenia. On "Real Me" (for example) the bass is actually the lead instrument. Other than that the sound was surprisingly good and I didn't even need to use plugs with a floor seat. I guess they no longer aim at being the world's loudest band.

I'm checking out Amber Rubarth - Sessions From the 17th Ward. This is the first true binaural album I've listened to, and just playing from my mbp internal card's headphone out through my Ultrasones it is pretty impressive, both the recording and the actual music are very good. I'm curious as to how well it would translate through loudspeakers in stereo though, I may bounce it to mono and do some comparison later.

Frank Sinatra Duets
Capitol Records Cassette, 1993, commercially recorded with Dolby HX PRo on, but played back on good old Dolby B over a Nakamichi MR-1 using XLR to RCA cables, will repeat using the 1/4" unbalanced cables to see if it sounds more Sterling Archer awesome (but doubt it).
The MR-1 sounds great w Dolby on - as opposed to typical decks that seem to have more "air" with Dolby off.

I started listening to a cassette I bought at Goodwill called "The Great Tenors". Glad I only paid $1 for it as it sucks. It‘s bad enough the quality of the recording sucks but some moron keeps coughing during the first track which is Jose' Carreras. Sounds like someone recorded it on a Walkman. The guy that was coughing should have been shot for not leaving. One loud bang from a .45 would be more tolerable than this schmuck. Anyway, popped in another cassette instead that I bought at the same time called "This Is The Moody Blues" and it sounds great.

I was listening to Hugo Montenegro and his Orchestra music from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and a couple other Clint Eastwood movies. The LP is from 1968.

Markshan...good idea. Sure wish my pre had a mono button so I wouldn't have to monkey with Y adapters.
Right now I'm listening to an LP titled Otis Redding * The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was recorded at the Monterey International Pop Festival in mid June 1967. 4 songs by Jimi and 5 songs by Otis. Considering it was a live recording and recorded in the 60's it's a pretty good recording.

I meant the actual mono mix of the album.

Watching the Pirates and have the sound going through my stereo. I always do this. It's really neat as you can hear the spectators spread out over the sound field. Pretty much the same with most sports. My TV is mounted on the wall over the fireplace dead center between the speakers so it makes for pretty realistic sound. Good for movies too

I still have room for 6 more decks though for a "full house". How do you start 13 decks to record at the same time!!!

This week we mark the official beginning of the fall season with the autumnal equinox. Here in the northern hemisphere, the sun has descended from the lofty heights of summer halfway to the low point of winter, and the days and nights are approximately of equal length: more accurately, the equilux.
Musically, we return to the complex tones of traditional acoustic instruments — the piano, the guitar and the cello. It’s a time for minor keys, descending progressions, and deepening harmonies, as we explore the sound of the season. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, an ambient-acoustic journey for early autumn called THE FADING LIGHT. Music is by JEFF PEARCE, HANS CHRISTIAN & HARRY MANX, WILL ACKERMAN, KEVIN KELLER, HELEN JANE LONG and others.

Last night sat on the deck/ patio and listened to Rodney McCoy Deep Pockets...great CD BTW! I've always wanted to be able to sit on my deck with a cold one and crank the music up a bit.... and have an outdoor system worth listening to of course... worth the time and effort invested in wiring/ equipment etc .... Using an Adcom 535 ll hooked into my HT receiver to power four KEF Ventura 5s ... just awesome.
One of the benifits of living in the burbs... and in the Pittsburgh area... hills and lot size. Neighbors don't hear a thing lol!

Just recorded Thin Lizzy "The Boys Are Back In Town" for my brother in law. They are going to spread the ashes of his departed friend (same one he inherted the Klipsch Heresy's from) in a lake that they all used to camp at when they were younger and that was his favorite song. (I also put "Jailbreak" on it - another must have!) Was listening to Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits and Pink Floyd Meddle earlier (vinyl of course).

Listening to a River City Brass Band concert on WQED FM HD2 featuring the music of John Phillip Sousa. Right now they are playing a Herman Bellstedt piece called Napoli with solo euphonium. Interesting as it is normally played on cornet/trumpet. I have played it myself on both cornet and trumpet. Herman Bellstedt was a solo cornetist with the Sousa band in the early 1900's along with Herbert L. Clarke.

Horowitz in London - LP RCA Red Seal. Concert set up by prince Charles. May 1982 (released '83). Horowitz flew to London from NY in the Concorde to avoid jet lag. Asked everyone to stand at the beginning and because his 1st selection was God Save the Queen. Then some Chopin and Shumann follows, ends with Scriabin. Includes an interview with Horowitz in an inner sleeve "eva-tone soundsheet" 10" disc. Sounds nice enough that I recorded it to r2r. Thanks Mark! :P

Both are Dig-A-Log Doxy pressings with CDs included... the 180 gram pressings are perfect and recordings are exceptional for 1961 . Kinda weird to hear Etta sing without scratches and ticks and pops in the back ground lol They do not seem like the usual CD to lp stuff DOXY sometimes put out... Got them both for $39 total on ebay from seller danielgrantlittle The only downside was that I paid on 11/14 and did not receive them until 12/2... no communications or response what so ever!

Lot's of Xmas vinyl. My daughter got a David Guetta picture disc. The sound is surprisingly good for a picture disc, I've had some that sound terrible. This one is a 12" 45 RPM.
I got the Cake - Showroom of Compassion album in a 7" box set format. Each has a different color vinyl and again, for something that could just be a curio, the sound is excellent and the vinyl is very quiet. I also got The Civil Wars discography and am listening to the most recent release now. Quite good.
Next up is my other Xmas vinyl, the soundtrack to the "Sound City" documentary. I love the Sirvana track and really like the Stevie Nicks. The rest will be a discovery for me.

Hiya Rn'R!
I'm a huge fan of Juniors, Specials and most things P90. Mine is a '59 handed down to me by my Uncle who was my music mentor and a long time gigging guitar player. I'd coveted that guitar for many years, then out of the blue he told me it was 'time'. The combo in that picture, the Junior through a cranked tweed Bassman 4x10 is sonic heaven (and given the fact that Jim M. copied that circuit for the first Marshalls... it's very similar to a cranked Marshall, yet miles away from my JCM 800). My main guitar is a Collings 290:

Speaking of P90 growl... this afternoon I've been listening to West, Bruce and Laing 'Why Dontcha' and The Clash.
Currently waiting patiently for Miles' In Stockholm 1960 to arrive in the mail today.....

I listen alot to classical WQED FM HD1 & 2, and jazz station WESA FM HD2

An unbelievably clean ATCO first press from the SA. It was a good day at the thrift today. I got a nice stack of vinyl. Any time I find thrift store vinyl in MOFI sleeves i get mixed feelings. On one hard, I am always happy to invite such nice stuff into my collection. OTOH, I just picture some guy a few years farther along than me, who obviously loves his collection, taking the big dirt nap and his kids saying "time to haul all Dad's junk down to the Salvation Army".

My band has a similar sound to early nofx. Get Self Entitled (the new album) its awesome. Saw them do the decline live about a month ago in cleveland. Anyway.. When in rome. This album title is referring to some of the usual suspects on the forum...
-
I saw NOFX on that tour. I grew up on punk/hardcore. During the late 80's-early/mid 90's, punk bands were the only ones still putting out vinyl. The majority of it is recorded like ass but what do you expect. One of my favorites of all time:
"Bad Brains" by Bad Brains
1982, Hardcore Punk

Sad how The Decline is damn near prophetic 15 years later.
-
If you guys are ever interested in selling punk vinyl please contact me, im always looking. Bad brains is one of those bands you have to listen thru the record a few times. Like a LOT of punk/hardcore, they tend to grow on you more and more, I wouldn't consider bad brains to be a "first listen" band. But nonetheless extremely energetic, talented and influential band. My favorite cuts are probably black dots and pay to cum. You have probly heard this, but apparently they were all classically trained jazz musicians . Also HR was noted for being a huge homophone -- very anti-gay (Rastafarian)
-
Bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Cramps will always mean the world to me. I remember first hearing BB in middle school and was blow away. In a predominantly white punk scene, how crazy it is that 4 black dudes from DC pretty much started the hardcore punk genre. HR is a nutcase, i've meet him several times. Weird dude. I don't know if they were trained musicians but they started as a jazz/funk/fusion band.

I LOVE this album.
True story...
When I was in college in Boston I went to a Blasters show at The Paradise. It was right after Dave and Gene left and Phil was trying to hold the band together. You may recall they had a Budweiser commercial with Gallagher that ran on the Super Bowl that year.
I get there early, but at least one big fan got their earlier. Early enough to already be drunk. I bore more than a slight resemblance to the recently departed piano player, Gene Taylor. We even both wore the same goatee then. I went to take a leak and the drunk guy was in the rest room. He shakes my hand and says "Gene, I thought you quit!" I told him that I wasn't Gene and that I wished I could play like that. He told me with a spray of expletives that he didn't believe I wasn't Gene Taylor and that I must be making a surprise guest appearance. He finally left and I went about my business.
I went back out to the bar and (in honor of the commercial mentioned above) ordered my first of far too many Budweisers. The guy comes up behind me and starts yelling "They are about to start, get yer ass up there Gene". Then he walked away. After nearly every song he repeated "Get yer ass up there Gene". I wondered if he would get hostile at some point, but he never did anything more than yell in my direction.
As the evening got later, I got drunker. By the end I went up to the band and asked them for an autograph. Phil didn't sign anything for me, but he did ask me if I was going to make it home okay. Anyone who knows anything about that band understands that it is a MAJOR accomplishment to have Phil Alvin ask you if you are going to make it home okay.

Beatles Let it Be, though I still prefer the 'naked' version, hard to beat the original!
Do you know that "Naked" has lots and lots of Autotune to fix the original performances? Especially all over Lennon's six string bass. In fact, McCartney wanted to do that for years but couldn't until Antares came out with an auto tune system that could handle bass notes (the first systems were ineffective below 180 Hz or so). It is an interesting listen, but no more authentic than Spector's version. They each just used different techniques to plaster over the problems. The only authentic version is the Glyn John's version (widely booted and not very good, but worth hearing once). The complete rooftop session is also "out there".

Yup. The Electric Banana. That does bring back memories. Played there numerous times in college. I think it's an Italian Restaurant now.
-
Ya i wasnt old enough when the banana was around. I guess Johnny zarra (read some crazy stuff ab that guy) has now turned it into an Italian restaurant. That time period was basically the spearhead of underground rock.. Did see the short about the pgh punk scene, very cool. I have met a few guys from that documentary/scene like jeff lamm (half life) and also played in a band with todd porter (eviction/silver tongue devil/cheats) for a while, stil hang with him quite a bit actually. Cool to talk to the older guys about the scene back then. And yes, about the GG post... Am I the first? Plz say yes haha

Yes, but usually that is done for personal images. You can usually link image URLs to amazon and other sites without trouble. You can also upload images here but we have size restrictions so you may need to lower the resolution.
What you did embedded the image file within your post. That's why the content was so long.

They are pretty good... I was spending my late afternoon digging deeper into some of my uncle's old vinyl, I wish he had more!
Listened to that 'Wishbone Ash' album again -Argus- I mentioned previously... very nice. If I could make drops, I''d get you a copy.

Pat Metheny- New Chautauqua just a great recording and remarkable guitar work
Wynton Marsalis- Hot House Flowers.... sounds so much better than the CD!
ALso picked up a reissue of Janis Joplin's "Pearl"... which I'll start a new thread on. Worst reissue I've ever heard bar none. Sounds like the press had the grooves worn off or was covered in flannel.

As I really wasn't able to get up and down to flip records or tapes today (cassette or RTR) I was limited to the CDs in my CD jukebox or FM HD broadcasts. As luck would have it WQED HD-2 (Pittsburgh Concert Channel) had really awesome programming all day. Lots of great stuff from the Pgh Symphony's 2011 season. Classical definitely sounds better in analog though. Strings & brass especially. That's my review for the day!

One of my all time fav albums.... If you've not heard it, you should put it on your must listen list..... good music and a good recording.
Friends and Legends was the second solo album from Michael Stanley. The album title refers to the backing musicians accompanying Stanley on the album, which was recorded at Applewood Studios in Golden, Colorado. The basic band on all tracks was Barnstorm, composed of Joe Walsh on lead guitar and synthesizer, Joe Vitale on drums, flute, synthesizer and backing vocals, and Kenny Passarelli on bass. In addition, three members of Stephen Stills' Manassas performed: Paul Harris on keyboards, Joe Lala on percussion and Al Perkins on pedal steel guitar, and the band also included saxophonist David Sanborn. Among the backing vocalists were Richie Furay and Dan Fogelberg. In keeping with the collaborative spirit, J. Geils assisted with production of the saxophone tracks.

-Jet black girls

This new one might be just as good as the EPs. It's killer. I pre-ordered the vinyl, I "found" a copy of this the other night. The band they've been touring with lately, Cerebral Ballzy, is pretty damn good too in the same vein of music. I can get you copies of both.

I'm listening to a vinyl copy of Pink Floyd - The Wall that I picked up at a yard sale last week for $8. I'm notoriously cheap and usually don't like to pay more than a buck for a record, but this is a perfect, non-barcode, first pressing and it sounds AMAZING!
I also bought a copy of Biograph (Dylan) for $25 which is just as perfect and I paid $4 for a copy of Madness - One Step Beyond which I haven't listened to yet. I'm honestly not sure if these records were ever played.

Hendrix with his Band of Gypsys had played shows there the previous few days. Many years ago, I took my D-28 to a local shop and the guy had a snapshot of the marquee showing the Hendrix and Dead dates affixed to the wall in his repair shop. He said he had gone to New York after graduating high school to see if he could make it in the music biz. He ended up playing in Neil Diamond's band for many years.

8W, you do have good taste for a kid. Are you listening on vinyl or CD? This is one of the rare times where I like the CD better. The title track was shortened on the vinyl due to space limitations and the mastering is just okay. The CD (Rhino, IIRC) has the full version and the mastering is excellent. Just an FYI.

Steve Winwood was 22 years old when they recorded "Low Spark", 21 years old when he was in "Blind Faith". He was like 17 or 18 when he was the lead singer for the Spencer Davis Group. They had a big hit "Gimme Some Lovin". An amzing talent and career, but he will never be remembered for his great singing voice.
-
Pink Floyd
Wish you were here
-
From Wiki:
Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group at age 14,[8] along with his older brother, Muff, who later had success as a record producer. Steve's distinctive high tenor, singing voice and vocal style drew comparisons to Ray Charles.[9] At the end of 1965 the group had their first number one single with "Keep On Running"[10] and the money from this success allowed Winwood to buy his own Hammond B-3 organ.[6]
During this time Winwood joined forces with guitarist Eric Clapton as part of the one-off group Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse. Songs were recorded for the Elektra label, but only three tracks made the compilation album, What's Shakin'.
Winwood co-wrote and recorded the hits "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" before leaving the Spencer Davis Group. Winwood met drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Wood when they jammed together at The Elbow Room, a club in Aston, Birmingham.[11] After Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group in April 1967, the quartet formed Traffic.[12] Soon thereafter, they rented a cottage near the rural village of Aston Tirrold, Berkshire to write and rehearse new music.[11] The period at the cottage proved important in the band's development.[13]
Early in Traffic's formation, Winwood and Capaldi formed a songwriting partnership, with Winwood writing music to match Capaldi's lyrics. This partnership was the source of most of Traffic's material, including popular songs such as "Paper Sun" and "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys", and outlived the band, producing several songs for Winwood and Capaldi's solo albums. Winwood's performance role in Traffic varied from album to album and song to song; he might perform lead vocal and guitar on one track, and piano and bass on the next. Over the band's history, however, he played the majority of their lead vocals, keyboard instruments, and guitars. He also frequently played bass and percussion up to and including the recording sessions for their fourth album.
Blind Faith and Traffic
Winwood with Traffic Photo: Dina Regine
Winwood formed the supergroup Blind Faith in 1969 with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Ric Grech.[14] The band was short-lived owing to Clapton's greater interest in Blind Faith's opening act Delaney & Bonnie & Friends—Clapton left the band at tour's end. However, Baker, Winwood and Grech stayed together to form Ginger Baker's Air Force. The lineup consisted of 3/4 of Blind Faith (without Clapton, who was replaced by Denny Laine), 2/3 of Traffic (Winwood and Chris Wood, minus Jim Capaldi) plus musicians who interacted with Baker in his early days, including Phil Seamen, Harold McNair, John Blood and Graham Bond. However, the project turned out to be just another short-lived one. Winwood soon went into the studio to begin work on a new solo album, tentatively titled Mad Shadows. However, Winwood ended up calling in Wood and Capaldi to help with session work, which prompted Traffic's comeback album John Barleycorn Must Die.
-
Thanks Carl. Being a big Winwood fan I have pretty much everything he ever recorded.
-
That MSG concert that he and Clapton did was amazing. I'd like to pick that up on vinyl. I don't usually get too excited about dinosaur rock, but that show was very fresh. Willie Weeks on bass smoked!
-
have a bit of his stuff on vinyl also, including the Howlin Wolf Sessions. Sadly only saw him a few of times... once in a small hall setting solo in the mid 80s ? Once with Traffic in '72 or 73 ? and in a band without Clapton around 1969 or 70? not sure if it was BF or GBAF.... memory is fading but I don't recall Ginger Baker in the band and he's very hard to forget! lol Of course it could have been other things affecting my memory and attention of that concert.... esp when your about 16yo ???? lol too funny....

I finally found a copy of "Out of the Blue" by ELO which is a SR/2 pressing but doesn't have the common pressing flaw in "Mr Blue Sky". As much contempt as I have for Mr Lynne, I am glad to have finally found a really good copy of this fine album.

Streaming via my Mac Pro that acts as a media server.
I have two digital versions of this album. One is the original US Elektra release. One is a digital version of the 2003 re-release on Elektra / WEA that includes the alternate versions of Marquee Moon, Little Johnny Jewel, Prove It, and a few others. The original release is in the ballpark of 800 kb/s, the 2003 re-release is in the ballpark of 1200 kb/s. Needless to say, the 2003 re-release sounds superior. Fantastic dynamics.
And yeah, that album is just tremendous. On the right day, it's in my top 5 album list.
-
Yeah, that remaster is the one I was referring to. It sounds fantastic.

but has a very weird pricing system... Not a Jerry's selection , no one has that!
But not bad.
Picked up a dozen $1 albums. After running them through the Spin Clean, I'm
starting to work thru them. So far a few winners in the bunch: Jan Hammer the early
years, Hiroshima another place, Yellowjackets shades, Weather Report heavy weather!
I love $1 albums lol

Is it on Chrysalis or do you have an original Private Stock?

Thrifty,
Am i cool enough to call u that yet? Great track, showcases her attitude through the vocals. Love it
And it is on chrysalis, found it at the exchange. Is there a difference in sound quality or just collectability?
-
Just collectibility on the album, but the original Private Stock single uses a different mix. Or maybe that was "X Offender", my old brain isn't so sure now. At any rate, one of the Private Stock singles is a different mix.

BTW, you were born cool enough to call me Thrifty. I've been called much worse!

Prior to going home (Lorain,OH) to help the inlaws
for the weekend, I checked Craigslist for anything interesting
in the area. Found an post for +10,000 albums and was like WTF? Really?
In Lorain?
Connected with the guy on Saturday , and sure enough ... At least that # if not
many more ... Very nice guy, great selection ( mostly '60s thru '80s rock, but some jazz and Motown) excellent prices but the
best part was that 99% where in perfect condition! ( lol , you know anal me,
NO scratches!) picked up 32 mint albums and filled a few wants and a few gaps in my
collection
I know I'll be going back. But seriously think
it is a good destination for a group road trip! Without
a doubt worth the 3.25 hours travel time.

Did you find your "Sticky Fingers"?
What is he getting per album?
-
No sticky fingers, but ordered what's suppose to be
a NM copy last week that I'm waiting for!
-
Let me know. I have an good zipper cover but only mediocre vinyl, but I'm still keeping my eyes open.
-
So, Jim, what is he getting per album? I might be up for a road trip.
-
$1 to $5. I averaged. $2. And worth every cent
I 've cleaned all of them and can't believe
the condition... Picked some Smokey Robinson
That are just mint. Hard to find Motown without
scratches ! Best bulk buy ever! Lol
-
Let me know when/if you make another trip (if you are open to a passenger).
-
Of course you have pretty good taste in music, so we could end up wanting a few of the same ones. O0

Delicate Sound of Thunder, Wish You Were Here, Meddle, Pecko duck porky LZ IV minty goodness 2.99, RL Houses of the Holy 3.99. Their prices are crazy sometimes, they had Physical Grafiti for 35, the other LZ were a bargain.

A pentagram and two upside down crosses.
Wrong genre but good guess.
Sorry. I wasn't using the term "Goth" as a genre label (I hate genre labels), but as a lifestyle identification.
-
Nope, strike two. The band has no goth following. I didn't see any Goth kids at the Slayer show either who like to feature upside down crosses, satanic imagery, etc.
Sorry but one of my biggest pet peeves are people that have a comment for everything that know nothing about the subject. As you've stated before to me, "you've probably forgotten more in your lifetime then most people remember", but you can't know everything. I would not pretend to, or think to, comment on something I have no first hand knowledge about. Which for me is a lot.
-
Okay, you are right.
What if I say "I think that Satanic imagery is silly and overdone". Would that be correct?
-
Okay, you are right.
What if I say "I think that Satanic imagery is silly and overdone". Would that be correct?
A) that's your opinion
B) that doesn't make it any less awesome, metal, or badass
-
A) Well, of course it's my opinion. That's why I said "I think".
B) Judas Priest would still sound like Judas Priest even if they wore polyester jumpsuits.
-
Yeah, it is very campy like a lot of 80's metal bands. It's meant to be. Operatic almost in his approach. Is or was he a satanist. Absolutely not, none of these bands are or were. He and Halford probably have the most recognizable high vocal range. Amazing since they're both in their 60's or close to it.

Scorpio, that album is worth some coin these days, especially if you have the white vinyl.
-
Not this one. Got it on epay this week. 2014 German pressing. $31.50. I was skeptical, esp since I've only seen them for 150 and up. Decent pressing and Black Crowes pressings are all over the map from what I read.
Right now I've got on an expensive Govt Mule High and Mighty LP. Worth every dollar, but they're my favorite.
-
I really liked Warren Haynes solo album from a couple years ago. I got my copy from a member here, though I can't recall who at the moment.
-
I stumbled upon Man in Motion for $10 at HPB and that restarted my vinyl habit.
After further listening, that Amorica record is half crap and half great. Too much music to fit on a single disc and you can easily tell which songs were smashed to make it fit. No headroom, flat, no instrument separation. Other songs are spot on.

PBJ-I saw Al in New Orleans a number of years ago, at a point when he was past his peak. Still played well, but was reduced to appearing in the local pubs and carrying around the milk jug asking for tips. I bought a couple of albums (vinyl and CD) from him and got his autograph.

Listening to 'Romantic Songs of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov' with soprano Nelly Lee and pianist Evegeny Shenderovich, on cassette. Most commercial cassettes sound bad to me, but many of these by MCA Classics sound pretty good, especially recognizing they use regular tape. The shell indicates it was recorded using Dolby HX Pro and Dolby B. It also has a "HiQ" logo on it - I wonder if that was indicative of lower speed recording to get a better copy or what. As often happens, these recordings sound decent with Dolby on but even better with it off.
[some mention of the "HiQ" logo in this 1988 article, but not much more I could find in the net: http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-01-24/features/8801050815_1_cassettes-lps-dolby-noise-reduction (http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1988-01-24/features/8801050815_1_cassettes-lps-dolby-noise-reduction)]
I inherited this tape from Carl, who once brought a box full of tapes to PBJ's house and let us split the cache. I can't find anything about the tape on the internet (I tried every trick I know in Google advanced search). It is marked as "For Promotion Only, not Resale" on the case. I have three others from that catch, listening to them now - the second one is also sounding decent.

I've got a couple Al Hirt vinyls. They're in a box of free Jerry's records. If anyone is interested in the box you're more than welcome to it.
Not from the free box, but listening to a 'cheap' find Black Crowes Shake Your Money Maker.

That album routinely sells for north of fiddy bux. What was "cheap" (it's okay to brag)?

$20. Hard to find them. Second cleaning helped it out. Southern Harmony is the one I really want, but finding that cheap hasn't happened yet nor do I expect it to.

Hi STaL,
It's a good album musically. The recording/mix could be a lot better though.
Spotify Premium. I don't have that album in an analog format. I've been doing more digital listening lately as it's physically much easier for me. My laptop is sitting right next to my recliner with my headphone amp on the other side for when needed.

Over my lowly Emotiva XSP-1 preamp fed directly by the TT (no separate phono pre, the Emo has a decent MC pre built in) to the ESC-U (borrowed from Tom until my hands get cold and dead) then to the Sunfire 400x5 to the Amazings. I am using cheap fragments of hardware-store speaker cable until I receive the 12 gauge I ordered (but also nothing fancy). The interconnects are DIY using Canare microphone cable as a starting point. It is not supposed to sound good according to the audio bourgeois, but it sounds good to me. Go figure, I have sympathetic tin ears I guess. ???

Just picked up Trombone Summit album very good recording ... and worth a few $$
Slowly going through the +46 albums I picked up from that guy in Lorain..... we really need do do a road trip he's got +10,000 albums in really good condition.
Today I listened to:
another copy of Taking Off / David Sanborn ... near mint condition.Side two is on my top ten favorite albums.wore out my original copy and found $$$$ a sealed copy and now have another great copy! very cool!
Roxy Music Flesh + Blood promo copy surprisingly Nice album and a good recording
the original Pat Metheny Group recording.... better than I remembered
Weather Report I sing the body electric.... a little out there. Wasn't there a Twilight Zone episode with the same title? a grandmother robot? A good recording.
Warren Zevon Dancing School ... so so
Robin Trower Live is just a great album... and a good recording for a live album.
-
Another great album that I had forgotten was "lost" (read stolen) back in college.... Part of the Lorain acquisitions lol great condition VG+++ with die cut cover and even the sleeve. Nice

Johnny Thunders - Hurt me (Vinyl) (Import) - Easy action records
Boy is this thing cut well.. Johnny thunders acoustic songs, recorded very "intimately" -- Favorite tracks include "Diary of a Lover", "You can't put your arms around a memory", "Joey" (bob dylan cover), "I like to play games", Eve of Destruction (cover) -- Kind of depressing album but fantastic

"Mystery Man"
Interestingly (at least to trumpeters) my favorite Bb trumpet and flugelhorn are both French Bessons designed for Marvin Stamm by Zig Kanstul in the early 90's. I bought both mine new around '93. Not sure about the trumpet but it appears Marvin still plays that flugelhorn. Sure hope I heal enough from my surgery to play again. I haven't been able to play much for almost 5 years now. Right now it's way too painful. Sob, sob, sob...

Jazz programing on WESA FM 90.5 HD-2 on my bedroom system while I'm trying to sleep. Music is great but as usual falling asleep is a problem!
Interestingly STaL introduced me to FM HD when I complained about losing our only jazz station in Pittsburgh when WDUQ was sold. WQED classical also broadcasts 2 FM HD channels. One is their standard broadcast, the other one is exclusively Pgh Symphony Orch and it's awesome. STaL even loaned me a portable device to see if I liked FM HD. I got hooked on it.
Funny but the bedroom speakers I'm listening to STaL hooked me up with. Advent Minis. For their size they sound great. I almost feel like he's in my bedroom...what a disgusting thought (LOL)!
BJ bought me a really nice 100watt/ch Sony receiver at a great price from Tom a couple years ago for my bedroom. It's a bit overkill but I had to have remote control and it has a built in sleep timer which is awesome & I use it every night.

Went into a little second hand store today, it's one of those places where you have to move something to look at anything ,but today just inside the front door is a stack of LPs. As I'm going through them the owner comes over, records are 3 for a buck, you should take them all. Lots of Mr. Welk, Christmas, etc., but I did find a nice condition Chuck Mangione, "Chase the Clouds Away" and a CD by The Rembrandts, "LP", it's marked on the liner For Promotional Use Only, does that mean something? By the way, just listened to Mangione.
-
a CD by The Rembrandts, "LP", it's marked on the liner For Promotional Use Only, does that mean something?
With a CD, very rarely, though if it was an early enough edition it could have alternate mixes, etc. The easiest way to tell would be to throw it into Foobar or EAC and see if freedb data base identifies it as the album or gives it an "unknown". Aside from that, it could have some interest to a collector. eBay would be your best resource to check on that.
I was working for Camelot music when that one came out. It was much anticipated as it had the "Friends" theme on it and the show blew up before the song was released. They promoted the "LP" album by giving us our promo CDs in 12" LP sized jackets. I think I still have it somewhere.
-
I only bought the cd because I couldn't find 2 more lps to make it an even buck. I'm going to go back though and buy some more lps and see if I can wash the grunge off them, plus he said he might have some more someplace.

Picked up another 20 albums from the guy in Lorain. All cleaned and just starting to listen to them... the first one is Eric Burdon Sun Secrets.
Amazingly good album, and very good recording ... if you listened before you looked, you'd think it was cut yesterday. This one will become part of my normal rotation....

Mongo, CTA & Chicago II are a couple of my all time favorite albums! I'm jealous.
Jim-Pgh. Haven't listened to Eric Burden in years. I'll have to see if it's on Tidal

album really surprised the heck out of me.... good recording and a real blues flavor to it... about as far from top 40 as it could be, not at all the AM radio mixes lol
You've got great taste ...
Listening right now to Janis Joplin Kozmic Blues... finally got a good copy that's not overplayed and without a scratch... can actually hear the piano, cymbals and snare. No klink of bourbon bottles that I can hear lol This is my third or fourth copy... this one has some static, ticks and pops though... will clean it again.... bought the reissue of Pearl and Kozmic and both were terrible.. like they were re cuts from old dead records. no dynamic range at all... took them back.Son in Law was in Berlin last week and is suppose to have picked up a clean vintage Holland pressing of Pearl for me... along with a German Beggers Banquet and a Japanese It's only Rock and Roll

Thanks Thrifty. I'm using my Akai as I have a wired remote for it and it's auto reverse so I don't have to get up often. Plus it's an awesome sounding deck. Amazing how great my tapes still sound after 40+ years.

Hey Mark, that is a first pressing as I bought it new. I hadn't listened to it in many years. Hence, it went up for sale at the swap meet. I am glad that you enjoy it!

More importantly, are you listening on the Rotel or the 1700?
-
STaL, I'm listening on the Rotel you were kind enough to loan me. It actually sounds pretty good. It won't handle much in the way of undulations on a record (used ones from thrifts) like my ReVox does but I doubt any conventional tonearm or longer type linear tracking arm can compete with the ReVox Linatrack system. The 1700 should be here by Thursday. At least if I don't like it I can blame you >:D
-
It's a great drive but a lesser arm. Find me something that my QL-A7 with AT440MLa won't handle. I dare you.

The Unthanks - Mount the Air
A hauntingly beautiful album. Saw them on Later with Jools Holland the other day.

While I was in Chattanooga we went to a place called McKay's. It's like a Sam's Club version of Half Price Books with the clientele who couldn't get in Walmart. Anyhow, I found a 74 pressing of Jr Walker's Shotgun - SEALED. $6.95. I usually have horrible luck buying old sealed records, most are warped. This one is one of the best sounding records I own. Judging by the price of other LPs there, someone made a big booboo pricing this one.

On a newly acquired Technics SL-1700. It just arrived today. Speed wouldn't lock in until I turned the variable speed pot back & forth several times. Still touchy though. I guess it needs DeOxit. At least I hope that's all it is. So far just using the Shure M995ED with a generic stylus that it came with. Eventually I'll mount my Grado Gold 1 on it. I may use the M995ED for records from thrifts etc. I have a spare headshell

Among others my wife & I saw The Lettermen many years ago at The Holiday House. A buddy of mine, Randy Purcell (RIP) was the music contractor there and ran the band. A few of the musicians were my band/orchestra directors in school.
-
Chuck Mangione
"Feels So Good"
LP from 1977, the year I got married
-
@PBJ - we both spin Mangione on a regular basis.
Currently listening to The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz Impressions of Japan, LP, Columbia - allegedly Mono but sounds very stereo to me.
(https://youhearthat.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/jazz-impr.jpg)
-
@OBGJ. I listen to a lot of trumpet/flugelhorn music. Jazz, classical & Chicago etc...
I can't wait for my surgeon to let me play trumpet again though it will be a long while if at all. Other than playing taps I know I'll never be able to perform again.
That Dave Brubeck album is stereo. It's marked, in English, on the front cover...twice!
-
@PBJ - That is an internet sourced picture of the record, not the actual cover of my record. Mine is marked mono on the label attached to the wax, in English and Spanish. I think the label on the actual record is a more reliable source of the possible truth, don't you? ;D I think it several tracks are stereo though, or Sonic holography is doing some magic that makes it sound stereo (but I have listened to mono albums on this setup many times and they sound dead centered). I think it is mislabeled.
When can I pop by to look at your RTR?
-
This is why stereo gear needs a mono button. Or else record, invert one channel and fold. If it is mono, it will all but disappear.
-
OBG, thanks for clarifying. You can come over pretty much anytime. Just let me know.
-
Funny to see CM Feels so Good mentioned... had not pulled that one out for a long time until yesterday... forgot how good of a recording/ album it is. I think it's one of those albums that got overplayed and thus my aversion. Papabear looks like he's been rocking out a bit lol
-
@J-P, that's definitely a good CM recording. Check out Clark Terry if you haven't already.
Yep, my wife, who I met 39 years ago today, is finally getting sick of watching Law & Order reruns so I can listen to music all day without headphones ( most of the time). I'm going through my vinyl collection A-Z. Amazingly my wife really liked King Crimson, In The Court Of The Crimson King! One of my all time favorites since buying the LP new back in the day.

Cool OBG. Was just listening to Ahmad Jamal a few days ago. My wife really enjoyed his music.
Right now I'm listening to:

Barry Manilow
Barry (self-titled)
LP From 1980
Make fun, I don't care. He's an excellent composer and I like his arrangements & orchestration.
-
Just when I said I liked your taste in music. smh
-
I was going to "spill the beans" on papabearjew listening to Barry Manilow... But I was good! :P
Now the secret is out!!! >:D
-
Thanks George. Let the floggings begin.
Now I'm listening to :
Dean Martin
Greatest Hits Vol. 1
-
I wish I was a Manilow fan, so easy to find those records dirt cheap. And Herb Alpert too.
-
I'm not sure about Manilow, but do very much like most of the TJB. I grew up with it when my Mother played the Maggot Box and also played along.
-
I also have all the TJB albums and also played along with most. Playing along with Maynard Ferguson or Bill Chase was more challenging!
Now playing:
Dave Mason
"Self-titled"
LP From 1974
-
I love Dave Mason.
-
I love Dave Mason.
Mine too, along with several of the band he was with most notably (for me) Traffic.
-
Music time out for the Pirates-Brewers game
-
I like Manilow too.
I think Rev may be turning in his exile island grave, where heavy metal plays almost continuously. ;D

Right now spinning is Super Tramp, Crime of the Century, also got a couple Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, couple Jackson Browne, Chuck Mangione, Art Garfunkle, and a couple I'm not familiar with, Brooklyn Bridge and John Dawson Read. Heard of either?

My Bar Mitzvah was in 1967! (I was 13)
Brooklyn Bridge recorded "The worst that could happen" in 1968. It was a composition of Jimmy Webb.
Funny you mention it. It was on the SiriusXM radio channel 60's on 6 yesterday when my wife and I were in the car. We recognized the song right away but without the printout on the screen would have had no idea who recorded it.
You got some nice records there
-
Brooklyn Bridge on right now, pretty cool vocal harmony and instrumentals. PBJ, any opinions on Jackie Gleason recordings?, got a pair recently.
-
Was it Jackie Gleason's orchestra? He was rather popular in some circles in the 1960s.

Brooklyn Bridge gets some airplay on 3WS. Worst Thing That Could Happen was their big hit. Late 60s. I don't know John Dawson Reed but also got one of his records in a group buy. Maybe I'll listen to it some day.

Just can't make myself listen to Olivia, especially the disco stuff lol
"
Picked up a couple of CDs at GW last weekend...." the best of the Gypsy Kings" was a real find! Great album and excellent recording. I'll be looking for more from them.
But got a surprise with the 1980 Eagles Live two CD set.... the recording is the deadest live recording I think I've ever heard. Played it first through my outdoor system early in the week and thought it sounded a little flat... then this morning played it through the main system....pitiful recording fidelity and poor mixing/ editing....
-
Funny, I find the disco stuff actually holds up better than the country stuff just because of the horrible "Nashville sound" arrangements on those early records. Her singing is beautiful, the strings and background vocals are ghastly. I would love if they did an "Unplugged" record by taking the original multis and remixing with just guitar or piano. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

God bless you....

Very good album. Feel like I'm sitting in a Smokey nightclub, except I'm in my recliner in my smoke free living room with no drink and I'm by myself. Wife has been asleep for a long time now! Guess I could buy some e-cigs and some O'Douls... 8)
-
PBJ-I have that series of Ronstadt/Riddle albums-they're great and I think What's New is the best of the bunch. Back in the day, after a few too many adult beverages, my buddy and I used to rewrite the lyrics-not for publishing here.

Would love to see your lyrics MG!

Yahoo Buccos. The US Open was interesting too. Tiger Woods is tied for 152nd place with 2 others at 10 under par. He's 3rd from last place. Heel I think I could have best him today.

This is almost as bad as Barry Manilow, but I am currently listening to "The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA" by Donna Fargo. I grew up in an apartment over a country bar, so pop country of that era is kind of drilled into my head.
That said, I haven't heard this in years and frankly it's not very good.
-
Watermark
Art Garfunkle
-
Happiest girl in the whole USA, cross between country and bubblegum pop, really dislike that song, though I admit to owning Alabama and The Judds lps, kind of cringe when I look at them now.
-
I am now cleansing the palette with my well loved copy of Donny Hathaway "Live". I'm listening on a system I will soon be putting on CL if it gives me a few more trouble free hours.
Onkyo TX-8211 (the one I fixed the tuning switch on)
Yamaha P-350 with ADC cart (and new belt)
Advent Legacys (just refoamed by yours truly a few weeks ago)
This is actually a pretty nice sounding system. Somebody with a couple hundred bucks is going to get some good tuneage.
-
Now for something completely different, Blackfoot, Strikes, a bit of 70s southern fried rock and roll.
-
I love that album! Train, train.

Traffic
The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

Absolutely one of my favorites albums. I have it on vinyl, RTR, cassette, and CD

Not related. Mark Almond not Allman like Greg & Duane.
I did tons of dubbing to RTR in the 70's and tons onto cassette in the 80's. 99% still sound great.
I did keep lots of notes including the release date of the original LP, dub date, source TT/cartridge and target tape deck used. I even included song titles and times all of which are readily available on the internet these days

Saturday Night Fever
Movie Soundtrack
LP released 1977
Dubbed from LP on my Thorens TD-160 to a Pioneer CTF-900 cassette deck I owned briefly. This is the only tape I have that was recorded on that machine. Bought the deck at Listening Post in 1978 and man was it a lemon. Took it back and they traded it for another new one in factory sealed box. Another lemon. Took it back and they said the decks were plagued with problems. Paid them the difference and upgraded to an Aiwa AD-6900. No comparison. Of course the Pioneer was $575 and the Aiwa was $850. A much better deck. I disliked Pioneer's fluoroscan meters and other features anyway. After that I never bought another Pioneer product except a used CD jukebox from Tom a few years ago. Unfortunately neither deck had Dolby-C or metal tape capability. Then some years later JVC introduced their DD-99 which I bought. This was truly an awesome deck until the warranty expired. Then it developed torque issues in the right take up spindle. Sent it to JVC service and it cost $150. It worked for a week and same problem developed. Back to JVC. Got it back and after a week same problem again. Shipped to JVC again. Luckily this time UPS lost it. I did my happy dance and with the settlement from UPS bought a Nakamichi which has less unnecessary features but is better built and still works to this day. No more JVC audio products for me after that. Their QC was questionable and their service department really sucked. Wow was that a rant.

I just listened to Jayhawks "Rainy Day Music"
Sony CD >
Dynaco PAS3 >
Stromberg Carlson 6V6 PP console pull >

180g vinyl I just received from Amazon
I've been listening to a shit ton of vinyl but quit posting here all the time as it seems like no one is around and not too many others post what they're listening to. I love when others post interesting stuff, especially classical, jazz and classic rock. It gives me ideas of stuff to try out on TIDAL.
-
The Beatles- Second Album, mono vinyl, bought some stuff at the thrift, this was in a Buck Owens jacket, condition is fair at best, but plays better than I expected after some hand washing.
-
I'm in a facebook group, of vintage stereo stuff, a young guy just getting into the hobby, posted he was given some old lps, playing Harry Nilsson, Schmillson, he'd never heard of it, picked it out at random to play, liked it btw, even though I feel kind of old, , I pulled my copy, bought in high school for a spin. Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.
-
I was a senior in high school and also bought Nilsson Schmillson. Still have it and in decent shape. Now I'll need to play it tonight.
-
I love Nilsson.
-
A blast from the past indeed, really enjoyed it, will be looking for some more Nilsson
-
I found a really nice first pressing of "Pandemonium Shadow Show" at the thrift. I couldn't believe it.
-
Somehow in my 43 yrs I had never heard of him until a friend dropped of a box of records. Inside was a near minty copy Son Of Schmilsson. Just not my bag.

I am a big Harry Nilsson fan. Scorp, if you still have the Nilsson lp, I am interested in taking it 'off your hands'.
There is a very entertaining DVD 'who is harry nilsson' and why is everybody talkin about him?" I highly recommend it, just for the interview segments. The Monkees Micky Dolenz says something along the lines that if your wife picked up the phone when Harry called, she knew it meant that she probably wouldn't be seeing you for several days after that....
There is a lot about 'inside the music biz' with producers and the like interviewed.

I still have it. It's a cutout. Vinyl is real nice, although it reminds me of a dynaflex, VERY flexible disc. Has poster and original inner sleeve, jacket has ring wear. I'd rather someone who appreciates it have it and listen to it. Let me know how to get it to you. I'm in Bethel Park.

Hello Scorpio,
Thanks. I will get in touch with you next week and grab that. We are currently enjoying all sunshine we can handle on Ocracoke Island, down the Outer Banks.

Animal House- soundtrack from the movie on vinyl, movie was released 35 years ago

I don't have the soundtrack, but do have the movie. It's still funny and the tunes are still great.

Animal House was required viewing for both my sons before they went off to college. I know it's a double standard but if I had daughters I'm sure I would have felt differently.

I also the National Lampoon magazine that the movie was based on, it was issued before the movie debuted.
Buccos taking some lumps tonight, OUCH!, and on Hurdle's birthday , why do they play so bad on the road?
Scored some LPs today, Paul Simon, ELO, Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, Dan Fogelberg, Beach Boys and one PBJ might like, Olivia Newton John- Greatest Hits, unopened.
Just listened to;
Beach Boys- Best of the Beach Boys, Vol. 2, marked Capitol Starline- Duophonic for Stereo Phonographs
Now
ELO, A New World Record- My first and only ELO, don't know why I never got into them.
-
Man, I hate duophonic records. Although it wasn't as bad as the fake stereo RCA did to the early Elvis records. Give me stereo or give me mono. Keep the fake stuff.

I didn't think it was so bad, hey about 50 years old

I like everything you scored. I have been an ELO fan for years. "Face The Music" is my favorite. "Xanadu" basically is ELO on one side and Olivia Newton-John. Pretty good stuff
-
Live Dead. Got it at a yard sale yesterday. Based on side one I suspect this will be a listen to only once LP. Aimless noodling just isn't my thing.
-
That side one 'Dark Star' isn't aimless!! Its more an acquired taste. Side two with St. Stephen into the Eleven picks up the pace a bit. You get the sidelong 'Lovelight" And I think side four has their cover of the timeless Joseph Spence classic 'And we bid you goodnight'

Gary Clark Jr. The Bright Lights EP - 44.1 FLAC.
Went to a concert by this dude on Thursday, hooked.
(http://assets.rollingstone.com/assets/images/album_review/0d011726827870c87ce24bf8258daade251f8282.jpeg)
-
For two years I've been trying to get you guys to check him out.
-
I did not know anything about him - and I get some crazy recommendations from others that shall go unnamed.
I went to the salesforce.com conference in SFO and discovered he was hired as part of the warm up bands for Foo Fighters. I could not care less for the Foo Fighters stage activity, but this Gary guy made good music. I recorded video of a bunch of it, only to find my Canon cam audio levels were set too high. Video is great but sound is almost constant clipping. :-X
I like the sound, the lyrics, and his stage approach (a guitar string broke in the middle of a song, he quickly wrapped it around the neck and continued playing like nothing happened - a pro).
The intensity of the mid-basss eating wight in front of teh band was amazing. Thinking about way to get that to happen in my system, maybe a full blast PA pararell setup?
Oh well, Mr. Clark is good.

I was tempted to order the Gary Clark LPs last night. May order eventually. Are the LPs good recordings/pressings? The web site does not say much - are they 180g?
Thanks
OBG
-
Neither are 180g. But they aren't dynaflex, either. Blak n Blu has a hype sticker mastered for vinyl at Sterling Sound. Double LP and it sounds good and spacious.
Live is also a double LP. Not everyone has the same opinion on live records. This is not horrible sounding, but it's not mastered for perfection either. I'm ok with that because it captures the essence of his raw, gritty, bluesy emotion. Over production may make it sound better, but it would sterilize the performance.
-
I don't have the same opinion. The live one is the only one I have on vinyl and while it is a good performance, I find it to be aurally disappointing. I'd love to get Blak n Blu.

Various Frankie Valli. Saw Jersey Boys at the Benedum last night..great show and seats.

I saw Jersey Boys too... It started slow but got better as time went on. The sound was excellent, although I could have used a bit higher volume.
Listening to Beethoven piano sonata No. 23 in f minor, op.57 45rpm RCA direct to disc recording. Another find by STAL. Sounded great before, sounds even better (quieter quiets) after cleaning in the VPI. Excellent.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51poUsJqMYL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
-
Yes. When I gave that one to you I think I said it would benefit from a really good cleaning. I'm looking forward to getting your impressions of the $100 RCM on Saturday.
-
Oh, and I can't stand Frankie Vallie. No soul at all. I guess that makes him perfect fodder for musical theater though. >:D
-
Those direct to disc recordings do sound pretty good.
I have that one and quite a few others.
In a few months I may have a room for my stereo finally and I'll have a party and play some of those records.

I've been reading about all these Columbia-Legacy recordings (that I purchased super cheap directly from Sony, through a connection at a local radio station, back when they were being released in the early 1990s). I guess the NoNoise technology, etc is not so highly regarded these days.

Several weeks ago I went to HPB and bought 5 or 6 sealed LP's and a handful of open in excellent condition. I also bought a couple dozen from the $1 bin. Chemo kept me from listening to any of them. Last night I couldn't sleep so I listened to a bunch of them. I got some really great stuff. So far only one of the $1 records is noisy. Guess I'll wait until I'm done listening to all of them to see which ones need "advanced' cleaning. My birthday is in May. Time to start working on my wife for a decent RCM. Any suggestions? The less labor intensive the better because of my situation. I have a Spin Clean that I bought from Tom a couple years back but have never used it. It looks to labor intensive for me. Can $500 get me a decent powered one?
Thx
-
At that price point you are probably looking at the Okki Nokki or the VPI 16.5. I own the 16.5 and, like Carl, swear by it. If it breaks I will order another one - I could never say that about that Spin Clean! You can get a used VPI for $350 or so if you look and are patient.

Bill Evans Sunday at the Village Vanguard

two nice finds yesterday at HPB in Bethel Park.... Kinks Misfits Mofi 1978 reissue in perfect condition $12.99 a very good 1/2 speed master project. First time I found a miss priced album at this HPB store! ( and Humble Pie " the best" in perfect condition for $7 not a deal But I can never have enough Humble Pie )
-
when I say perfect condition I mean very nearly completely tick or pop free... . Humble Pie is not a fabulous choice of recording but in nearly the same condition.... a good record collecting day!

It's coupon week at HPB. You're right they rarely make price mistakes. I have caught them a few times. Best was a LZ Houses of the Holy RL for a buck. Hope you didn't wipe out their stock, I'll likely go up Friday morning for 40% off.
-
I love coupon week at HPB! Today I got an ATCO yellow (probably first press) of Peter Gabriel (car) marked $5.99 (already cheap) but with 30% off only $4.19. EX condition vinyl, though the jacket is a bit rough (probably why it was so cheap, but I can live with that).

I'm glad you guys are all in the south and not pulling the good stuff out of my store. On the 40% and 50% days I usually get new stuff. I need the latest Jason Isbell and the first Alabama Shakes, both of which my store has. Gina plans to get The Weeknd on Sunday.

I've been burned on Sunday a couple times. I'll scope something out and get pumped to get it and poof it's gone. Last time it was a new Dark Side of the Moon. I usually try to get new or something off the counter box, which is in a lock box in Monroeville.

I'm in my store often enough that they will put back things for me a couple of days in advance. Tomorrow I'll do my shopping through Sunday, then just get in line each other day.

No didn't clean out HPB in Bethel... just the two. But I did end up going to Jerry's today.... a couple of Canned Heat, Stevie Ray Vaughan & DT Live, Hiroshima "GO" promo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! been looking for that for quite a while.... and an Eric Burdon.... Nice haul! His prices and selection always make it worth the drive.... FYI someone will be taking over the business at year end.
-
Where do you get the coupons? I can't really go to hpb though if they're crowded. I went about 6 weeks ago and bought 5-6 sealed albums. Then I bought about 25 from the $1 bins. Didn't check them there as I wasn't able to stand there any longer. I figured for a buck each I'm not risking much. So far I've only been able to listen to 6 and only one needs to be tossed. That's not bad as the other ones sounded really good. Hoping to start listening to the rest of them this evening.

I was down there last week. I do not know this for a fact, but just my observations and overhearing things. He's fighting diabetes, to what extent I don't know. I talked to him a few minutes about his big 45 sale, he alluded to "now wanting to do this anymore", "it's a buyers market and I'm getting beat up". He's also been looking a little more hobbled and frail each time I go in. Nothing lasts forever, but man it just won't be the same without him. Who's going to give me my couple buck discount???

What are they getting at Jerry's for clean SRV? Seems I never see any. The only one I own at the moment is "Soul to Soul", but I'd love to have more. As always with in demand stuff, timing is everything. If you hadn't bought it today, someone else would have.

I bought Couldn't Stand the Weather down there for $6. My wife got me the Texas Hurricane box for Xmas. I've got regular g/vg Soul to Soul and Couldn't Stand the Weather, VG+ Texas Flood reissue and In Step I've been meaning to list.
Jerry had a quote about his son I overheard, not sure the whole context. Wasn't positive and alluded to he would not be a candidate for taking over. I just hope someone like Dave's Music Mine doesn't get a hold of it. It's my opinion that guy shouldn't own a music store as much as I shouldn't own a poetry store.
-
I'll take any of your SRV that are in VG+ or better condition. I asked Santa for that SRV box set but got a stupid reciprocating saw instead :-(
No, not his son... he needs cash and is having some health problems. I don't think he has anyone lined up yet. But check out his web site, he's selling 750,000 45s for $75K I think his rent is high... he claims he can work 2 days a week at a flea market and make more money. He has another whole warehouse full of albums somewhere.

Great price on that one. Why are you buying used copies if you have the Hurricane box? If you decide to pair those down, I'd like a crack at em if the price is right.

I had most of the SRV before she surprised me with the box. While that box is expensive it's worth every red cent. Give me a day or so to pull them out and see what's what.

@geoffr. If you click on "radio tab" at the top you'll notice in the pull down tabs one that says "Pittsburgh Symphony Radio". This would be WQED HD-2 (89.3 HD-2). Wonderful programming off the PSO. 89.3 HD-1 is the same as standard WQED broadcasting. HD stands for hybrid digital, not high definition and does require a special "HD" tuner. I have one of these tuners in my living room, bedroom and spare bedroom. Many other stations also broadcast HD. In fact some stations broadcast several. Basically it's digital data broadcast as a sub carrier to the analog signal. WESA HD-2 (90.5 HD-2) formerly owned by Duquesne university, has truly awesome jazz programming. STaL got me started on the HD stations and I really appreciate it. I even have 2 small receivers that fit in a pocket and require headphones or IEMs. And I have a portable battery operated unit with two speaker. This one is real flexible as it picks up all the radio stations, AM/FM standard and HD, plus it has an aux input that I can plug my iPhone iPod or iPad into. It always goes with me for chemo treatments and to the pool in a zip lock baggie.

Thanks! I miss the jazz especially.

Al Hirt
"This is Al Hirt"
2 record set I bought at HPB about a month ago for $6
He was one of my earliest trumpet influences.
I could play just like him. At least I could if I was a lot better than I am. I was quite good in my day but that ship has sailed.
-
would really like to hear you play, if/ when you feel up to it
-
I was quite good in my day but that ship has sailed.
That's a hard thing, isn't it? I'm well younger than you , but I still get sad some days that I can't count on my high C anymore (singing). Some days it shows up, but most days it is gone.

"We're captured on the carousel of time...."
-
I was quite good in my day but that ship has sailed.
This trait is/was not hereditary. Me playing trumpet sounds like a fart in the wind.

listening to this - but to say it is not the best this band ever recorded would be putting it mildly. crap recording.

I always felt that was one band where the sound quality and the musical quality were pretty much inversely proportional. The early 70s stuff was great music that sounded like sludge. The late 80s stuff was audiophile quality sap.

I wish there was a grading method for factory recorded open reel tapes. Despite attempts by sellers to describe condition, one never knows in what physical and sonic condition a tape will be.

Tin Star album, by Lindi Ortega.
A superb piece of vinyl.
-
I've got regular g/vg Soul to Soul and Couldn't Stand the Weather, VG+ Texas Flood reissue and In Step I've been meaning to list.
I'm listening to the "g/vg" Couldn't Stand the Weather now. If scorpio ever offers to sell you records, just buy them. This album is one mark from NM. I would call it VG++, most sellers would call it EX. Plus, it is an early copy with handwritten deadwax. It sounds fabulous. Even on Record Store Day, I can say this was the best five bucks I've spent on vinyl in some time.
Thanks scorpio

Breaking in a new cartridge on the CA table! ....coming along nicely. CA says 50 hours. I'm on album 45, about half way there lol ... that stupid tonearm is a royal PITA... since it floats in a magnetic field, none of the adjustments are directly mechanical and there is a certain delayed reaction to set up changes.... but once the sweet spot is found... magic! Worth the aggravation, time/ effort, but only after I find it lol
Listening to John Abercrombie Current Events... an absolutely fantastic recording.

How is it?
-
I did not clean it in the VPI before playing, yet it sounded good enough that I continued listening through side 1. On side 2 things went starting going sideways with the microphone, the mastering/mixing or the record dirt when he played certain chords - it sounded over modulated. So will clean it and try again. But great recording net of that track in side 2. Probably is a mark of the original recording.

So how did you get your coupon? Did you sign up for something? I want to get another sent to my wife's email. I really need a copy of "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips. I don't like all of Wayne Coyne's work by any measure, but that one is brilliant and the CD is painfully bricked.

Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs
4T reel to reel recording, playing back on Papabearjew's re-capped Revox B77, sounds pretty darn good, these B77s are nice (when working >:D). Love the bass on these decks - solid, goes down deep even with less than ideal tape. The highs are clear while being less noisy than the typical Pioneer 707. Need to wear the heads out a bit more before bearjew picks it up tomorrow.

I am currently listening to Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers on reel to reel tape. I had borrowed it from a friend in my college dorm that had just bought it. I recorded it onto Scotch 150 in December 1974. I'm playing it on my ReVox B77 that I got from Tom. Pepé just replaced all of the Fraco caps in it and now it really sounds awesome. Not only does it sound so much better but before he recapped it the left channel would crap out after about twenty minutes. No more. Since I got it back from him about a week ago I've played it every night for several hours without a hiccup.
THANKS TOM AND PEPÉ!
Next up, my ReVox A77mk4 needs some love!

Anybody else have "seasonal" LP's? Plan on spinning some Halloween albums this weekend/Monday?

Lately I've been dividing my time between reel to reel tapes and vinyl. My brother was just visiting from Israel and he brought me a suitcase full of classical records he bought new in the 70's. Mostly Deutsche Grammophon. He has a lot more for me including classic rock. He doesn't listen to analog anymore. He also has a Technics table with SME tonearm from the 70's. He said it's real finicky to setup so I wasn't interested in it. Now that I have a wireless remote for my ReVox B77 and it's sounding so awesome I'm listening to lots of reel to reel tapes I recorded in the 70's. These are all classic rock from the 60's and 70's. Amazing how great they all still sound.

I am envious. I have my reel deck (also a Revox B77) on the shelf waiting for me to spend time recapping it. For that one I ordered a kit from Ebay that includes all the caps, transistors and trim pots (PBJ, your Revox emptied my capacitor bins, but at least I hear it was worth it!!). For mine I am planning to skip the trim pots because I would need to recalibrate if I replace them (unless I remove each very carefully and measure and replicate, which sounds like a pain). The more vintage stuff I crack open these days the more I find parts that have aged poorly (Paccom - I am looking at you). But once I do I plan to spend a good chunk of time listening to tapes again, they do sound pretty good.
I am planning to buy at least one prerecorded tape from the tape project:
http://tapeproject.com/jazz/ (http://tapeproject.com/jazz/)
To see what they sound like (vs my iffy recordings).

The Tape Project tapes are supposed to be awesome but for $500 I'll pass. I think they're 1/2 track 15 ips anyway. I'm amazed at how awesome my tapes that I made in the 70's sound. And having a wireless remote for the B77 is icing on the cake.
It looks like 12 Fraco caps were replaced in mine. When you recap yours you should do the Rifa caps too as their potential time bombs. There might be some Wima caps too that are suspect.

For me, neither of the title tracks are even the highlights of the album. I just adore a song I had never heard before five years or so ago when Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs covered it. I love them, but the original is even better.

I'm a huge Sturgill fan. All three of his releases are amazing. The first two are slightly more "country" which may turn some off. All three were well recorded. I was lucky S dough to catch him live in Munhall a couple months ago. Incredible musicians. The guitarist is from Estonia, to hear an incredibly spooky guitar tone check this out.

Listening to a bunch of Cat Stevens I recorded onto reel to reel tapes in the 70's. It allows me to listen for a fairly long time without having to get up to flip a record. And with the new purchase of the wireless remote for the ReVox B77 it's really convenient. Amazing how great these tapes sound after more than 40 years.

Just relaxing, listening to a little 'Mambo Sinuendo' by Manuel Galban and Ry Cooder with our new puppy, Nellie. She is a 12 week old Australian Shepherd and has way too much energy for 61 year old dad. But its keeping me in shape. We will be heading out shortly for the first of several long daily walks.

Cute dog

Look at those paws. She is going to be HUGE.

We expect her to be around 50 to 60 pounds full grown, so not TOO big. She has energy to burn. Taking her on two one-hour walks per day as well as an hour or so in the yard has cost me about five pounds over the last three weeks..........

When we had a pup years ago we gave him elephant ear chewies. Might not be the politically correct things for pups nowadays but it kept his teeth busy.

Thanks Emperor, as far as biting, correct your dog with a firm no, or try growling, as its mother would to correct undesired behavior, he is likely trying to establish his place as alpha male in your pack, also try substituting a chew toy when he wants to bite, Ajax doesn't bite exactly but he does grab my ankle or pant leg, it's part instinct, to herd.

I really wanted to buy this on RSD but had a few things already and couldn't quite justify $36. When I found a copy in The Exchange leftovers bin for $20 yesterday I was thrilled.

It's revelatory. What I am most struck by is how the vocals, keys and guitars are very rough compared to the final versions but the bass and drums are perfect and nearly identical to the finished versions. I think it shows how Lindsey was a visionary who used the recording studio as a canvas. Mick and John, on the other hand, had that blues background which made them workmanlike and very precise. All excellent, but very different.

I still can't succeed in posting photos of records here. What am I doing wrong. I take the photos using my iPad and have no trouble posting elsewhere. I think this forum tells me my image is too large. I have no clue how to change that.

The easiest way is to use an image hosting service and they have an option to shrink. I usually just hotlink from Amazon or Allmusic.
-
Too complicated for me Thrifty!

Hotlinking is beyond simple. Just do a Google image search in another tab. Find an Amazon or Allmusic result (they allow hotlinking), copy the url (click the address in the bar and type "Ctrl+C"). Then hit the little Mona Lisa above the dialogue box and paste the url into the space.

Agreed. Part of a stack I grabbed at Jerry's recently. My first listen and I really dig it.
Back in those early and smokey seventies, Emitt was known as the 'one-man Beatles'. I had a friend from Philly back then who turned me on to a veritable plethora of new music. Just a few names, all unknown at the time, Al Stewart, Emitt Rhodes, Lindesfarne, and some greaser from Asbury Park whose name escapes me.
-
Was there a rumor about Jerry's closing?
It was a false rumor spread by bored housewives. He is retiring and leaving the store to one of his employees to manage, so that the tradition may continue. He sees the store as his legacy.
OBG
-
Well, in fairness he misplayed closing the singles section of the shop and firing the one employee. He should have known that the bored housewives would talk about it and maybe even start a shop of their own. I say that being a Jerry fan and wanting only the best for him. We all make mistakes.

Blue Train... John Coltrane from the ultimate Blue Train

Nice! I found myself working back through the Coltrane catalog this weekend, semi-chronologically. Such amazing evolution he had from the end of his Davis/Davis band personnel era into his own band leading days with his own hand picked personnel. Even if I'm not the biggest fan of the direction his search took him in the end, hearing it unfold is an enlightening experience and you gotta give props to an artist who really followed his own course.
-
Yes, Blue Train fairly tame stuff but was his only title for Blue Note, so it has that aura. Also listened to Newport '63' CD which has a fourth track from 1961 village vanguard with Eric Dolphy.
I've been working my way thru the miles LP by LP thread on the Hoffman forum. Currently at early Prestige period, which I have on the "Chronicle" cd box set.
I will have to stop by sometime.

This is a compilation of great modern jazz recordings of female singers by NPR (I guess as a reward for the $10/level or something) - great to play after listening to an entire CD of crappy Stan Kenton recordings from the late 50s (I like the music, the recording setup seems to mostly suck with what he produced in the 50s) - your equipment will sound magical.

I like Kenton. Love big bands
? I don't know where we went wrong in this relationship ???. Let's clarify Mark: I love old rock, specially Pink Floyd and Santana - you can never have enough copies of Dark Side of the Moon. I like old and some new jazz, and specially any big band (I am with Kenton on the the 30+ musician ensemble theory) like SK and Glen Miller. I also like all classical - except Opera (Turandot being among the few exceptions). I am not a fan of Mexican music, though Ryan insists on thinking Puerto Rico is a Mexican state and thinks I like mariachi music, I don't. I am a fan of Cuban and Puerto Rican jazz. I hope this calibrates my taste curve. >:D

Carl gave me a copy of this record (he had an extra) and (after a few beers) I just listened to the entire thing somewhat intrigued by the strange music. As I was putting it back in its sleeve I noticed it is a 45 rpm. Now listening to it again, at normal speed. :P Thanks Carl, great jazz!

I have a small traffic jam of decks, those three are really two Revox, one is for spares. In the middle of recapping mine (about three more hours to go on that) and still trying to figure out why the other one refuses to pass the input signal to the record head on the left channel (I think I have been tinkering on that one for a year now). Then there is my Tascam cassette deck underneath those three, waiting for a rewind issue check. But, mi casa es su casa. If you are nearby pop in and let's start looking at the misbehaving transport.

Found a used copy for $15 at The Exchange. Had a $5 coupon. This album seems most at home on vinyl and sounds wonderful, especially the double bass. Spectrals showed it (surprisingly) to be all analog. If you are a fan, get it.

Currently listening to Old Crow Medicine Show Greatest Hits on vinyl. Not everyone's cup of tea, but nice separation of instruments and staging. Don't get that everyday on greatest hits records.

How can you like OCMS but not DCX? Especially this album is stylistically very similar. Don't let the fact that they were charted country artists put you off.

The greatest album that nobody has ever heard has finally been given a vinyl issue. The spectrals again show it to be all analog, but it's not an audiophile recording by any means. It was originally done on one of those Teac 4 track cassette recorders. But it is totally rocking music. I'm convinced if Lennon had lived and The Beatles reunited in the 90s it would have sounded very much like this.

I'm firmly in the camp that if you know how to read deadwax, you can get good sounding records for pennies all day. I think that when they came out, they had value because you knew they would be good as opposed to sealed vinyl which might be great or might be terrible.
On that note, I just finished listening to a new copy of this... It is noisy and lacks definition. My 53 year old Thad Jones album from GW sounds far better than it does. Sad. I wonder if a MFSL is forthcoming (j/k).

The Radio-WZUM 88.1. Pittsburgh has a Jazz channel! It's a public station and a but tough to pick up with a clean signal. I have not yet figured out if it is affiliated with WQED or WYEP/WESA.
Here is the skinny:
Very quietly over the last five years, the Pittsburgh Jazz Channel has been building a 24/7 jazz service that carries on the musical legacy of the late, and lamented, WDUQ. We’re a small, bare-bones group of volunteers who love this music dearly, and who think that as one of jazz history’s most important cities, Pittsburgh deserves a radio station that will focus on offering this music – a station that won’t hide it in corners of its schedule, or think of it as something to be put on the back burner. JAZZ RADIO IS WHAT WE DO.

WZUM, Mad Mike use to play his "Moldie Oldies" on that station back in the 60's. That station probably has a lot of old tubes in their consoles. I think they existed on paper only for a lot of years with not much air time. Somebody still kept their license. It's good to hear they are putting that license to some good use.

MOFI pressings were a real break through in the early 80's. They not only did the half speed mastering but they figured out that surface noise could be significantly reduced by using black dye instead of a carbon black powder in the polyvinyl. The natural state of polyvinyl if perfectly clear. Record companies thought the product needed to be black like the old shellacs or whatever the old 78's etc. were made of. The carbon black power is the source of many of the clicks, pops and other surface noise on records.
If you hold a MOFi pressing up to a light, you can see through it. The 1/2 speed mastering, low surface noise and quality pressings have made them very desirable. They also pressed a limited number and retired the metal masters. Some say they broke the molds. That might be an urban legend.

@MG. I know you have an AM/FM HD tuner. You do know about WESA HD-2, 90.5 GDP don't you. Great jazz programming 24/7. No commercials. I love it.

I also listen to WQED 89.3 HD-1 and HD-2. Both are classical 24/7 no commercials. HD-2 is all Pgh Symphony orchestra.

No, they are in the process of fundraising to buy 101.1, they aren't broadcasting from there yet.

My mind is addled but I think that WZUM used to be at 1510 on the AM dial? I recall they were kind of underground FM programming for a while, but just up the dial from groovy QV (1410 KQV, with Jim Quinn on the 6 to 9 shift, before he got religion)
I could be wrong.....

Wait a min what do you have against Journey now judge Wopner? The early stuff is good - Evolution, Infinity (closer to when they were the cover band for Santana). If they do half-speed mastered versions of those I have cash.

I have a tragic story to tell about the "Live" album...my next door neighbor who was a lady my senior by about 3-4 years and I used to listen to music together back in my youth. I was our escape and it was the 60's. She was killed in a head on collision at age 19. Her parents gave me the album we listened to together as a momento. I still spin it occasionally on the turntable and remember our time together. Miss you Judy..... :(

I saw Warren play solo acoustic at Graffiti way back and saw him at Rosebud probably solo but maybe with a sideman there. Big fan from way back. Read the book by his ex wife. Good insight into his life which apparently included some OCD that involved buying lots of black t-shirts when he'd go shopping while on tour.

I actually hear only a slight difference between it and my "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" Harvest. That's why I didn't mind letting it go. Some may say that my system isn't resolving enough to properly highlight the differences, but I suspect at this point it's my ears that aren't resolving enough. Either way, I suppose it makes it easier to enjoy what I have.

It is good, it will go into the frequent rotation bin or record-to-r2r bin. I ordered a new (to me) preamp (McCormack RLD-1) but did not pay attention to the mono thing, forgot. I will add that feature to the next one - I still have owning a decent Mac preamp in my to-do list, will make sure it has mono for this kind of recording.

When I find a clean copy that is "RL" all four sides, I'll give you this one.
BTW, if you ever see the "value savers" (or something like that) non-gatefold edition, check the deadwax for "KG". That is a Kevin Gray cut and is also very highly thought of. I like the Ludwig approach with a bit of smiley face, but many people swear by the Gray version for it's warm midrange. The difference is subtle, but I like the RL better.

Its on Capitol with what I guess is the rainbow, outer portion of label, correct?
-
Yes, the rainbow around the perimeter. If you like that, find a Brother reissue. They sound even better.
I'm a heretic. I like the recent stereo mix better than any mono I've heard. If I ever find the Analog Productions stereo cheap I'll get one. Right now I have the Capitol from a few years ago and it is fine.

I've almost bought the reissue a number of times, but I finally stumbled into a first pressing that didn't require a second mortgage. I'm listening now and it sounds great. Overlooked brilliance!

Spotify is doing a free stream of the 2017 Giles Martin remix of Sgt. Pepper. I have a couple nits to pick, but overall I think he did a brilliant job. Be prepared for the purists to tell you how bad it is. They hate change. Any change. This is finally a stereo version of the album that you can enjoy with headphones.

Probably not considered their best, but to me it is. I grew up with his voice from a young age and they're at the top of my list of favorites. It hasn't really sunk in, I keep thinking of the time we had down in Macon two years ago and the countless shows over the years. After this one, I'll be digging into the peach box set.

Love that Television record. Also in search of a reasonably priced OG but for now my reissue fills the void. Nice score!

I got to listen to the new surround mix of The Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band tonight. I really see this mix as a missed opportunity, which is quite disappointing given the wonderful job I thought they did on the "Love" surround mix. In particular, LSD and Mr Kite were very underwhelming. Given the work that Giles had already done cutting apart the Lucy track for the new stereo mix (which I like very much), I totally expected a psychedelic treatment where the notes were floating around the room randomly like colored dots in front of your eyes when the Mescaline kicks in (or so I've heard). In the same way, when Henry the Horse starts dancing, I felt it would have been entirely appropriate to center the organ but have the effects spinning around you in a dizzying manner, the way the organ on a carousel would remain stationary as you ride, but all of the sounds from outside would be spinning as the ride twirls. "Day in the Life" was nice, but pedestrian. A treatment completely not befitting that song. Only two songs actually benefited from the surround mix in my estimation. The separation given the small ensemble in "When I'm Sixty-Four" gave an interesting freshness to that tune (not one of my favorites on the album) and "Penny Lane" was literally the only mix that had me hearing things I hadn't before. Again, the fact that the whole album didn't do this is a wasted opportunity.
The LFE channel is an awful mess. For starters, it is entirely too loud. I had to turn the sub down twice just to get it to "play nicely" with the other channels. Once that was accomplished, it was horribly "flubby" and indistinct. Plus, it seemed to only carry far too much of Paul's bass fundamental but I heard little to none of the kick drum fundamental. It's really all but inexcusable IMHO.
In a way, this is probably appropriate for a 50th Anniversary release. For fifty years I've heard about how the mono was the go to mix and the stereo was an afterthought. With this release it seems that the stereo is finally the go to mix and the surround was treated as an afterthought.

I didn't know of this record until a few years ago. I learned it from the Rhino CD. So I am used to the unedited title track. It's still a little jarring to me when if fades down during the last verse. Though I'm thrilled to have an original (I'm admittedly a pressing snob), I may still get the reissue just to have that uncut version on vinyl.
-
Just finished up Mingus Ah Hum, so pulled out what is, according to discogs, a first pressing of Marquee Moon. The cover has a notch in it, so I reckon I bought it down at stedefords back in the mid 70s when I would stop to buy $3 promos before heading to three rivers stadium to work the Pirate games. I must have sold my copy of "Adventure"....

Sitting here this morning listening to "Jammin' in Hi Fi with Gene Ammons. Great recording, great performance / artists.
Was in Grand Rapids since Friday for a wedding :-) .. way tooooooo long of a drive .... and hit Vertigo Music, where I picked this up. A really nice record store, with helpful friendly staff BTW. Hit "The Corner" record store when there for the wedding shower a month ago... also very nice.

Yep, my Crate and Barrel order came today. This record sounds great (I've heard complaints about the Capitol 75th vinyl). Very quiet background and great mastering. The bass is like a warm hug. However, it is quite apparent why C&B didn't last long selling vinyl. It was shipped in an oversize box, literally rattling around inside the box as I lifted it. I opened it and there was a cursory piece of bubble wrap, just folded over the records. Nothing securing them at all. Worse yet, the album pictured above came from a case which some dope opened with a box cutter, slicing the spine in half. If it weren't clearance it would be going back. The other two records seemed to have fared much better, but if I open them and get any surprises I'll report back.

The Cure - The Head on the Door
Recent find and my first Cure release I've owned. Seems like I know most of these songs. Pristine first pressing.
-
Beatles LOVE in surround. Lots of stuff in surround since I hung the B&W Rock Solids. I still can't believe what they do for their size.
-
More surround tonight after getting home from the fireworks. Steely Dan - Gaucho, Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms ("Ride Across the River" in 5.1 is breathtaking, the only way to hear the track) and the Alan Parsons quad mix of DSOTM.
I wish I could pack up this system and take it to every one of your houses so you could hear it. I think I am crazy for being so impressed by what these tiny speakers do. And I know the EmpTec sub made the rounds on the board. You guys may not care for it because it doesn't go to 10Hz to shake the room with the dinosaur steps in Jurrasic Park, but man, a kick drum really sounds like a kick drum on it. I'm still quite thrilled with my little surround system.

From the Crate & Barrel sale. Cover says mono and it sounds mono. Very quiet pressing, but the recording is so so IMO. Missing bottom octave mojo.

Blu-Ray audio is great. No special players or fiddly menus. Clearmountain did the surround mix and it is really good. A little formulaic, but I'm okay with that. "Jammin'" is especially good in 5.1. You really appreciate how intricate the percussion on that track is when you have different parts coming at you from four different speakers. Even the Blu-Ray box sized book is nice. Lastly, I found it on eBay for $12. A recommended purchase.

STAL I can just imagine ....too funny. Had our two grand daughters ( 4 & 5) overnight the other day and it took us 2 days to clean up.... I'm still finding glitter... BUT we do not wash the hand prints off the glass table and sliding door for a quite a while after a visit....
-
Yes, but you and your wife aren't part of the problem. My wife and I are. The granddaughter is the current stressor, but having a very stimmy special needs son really doesn't inspire order. When you know that anything could go flying at any time you tend to worry less about keeping stuff in it's place.
-
yep.... I get it. I like your son! Can just imagine....
-
There is no defense for glitter. I believe it has a half life of a billion years.
-
Funny that glitter was brought up. I refinished the dining room table with one of those quickie products that is supposed to just work over top of the current finish. It became soft and has started turning black at the corners. Gina made some decorations with glitter for the baby's first birthday party and the glitter has embedded itself in the finish. I had planned to refinish it anyway (this time with a proper strip down first and real lacquer) but still. Glitter shows up everywhere. It's kind of amazing.
-
glitter, Christmas tree needles (both real and artificial) and dog hair.... seem to hang around forever! lol

In tonight's episode of "Adventures in surround sound"...
The Eagles - Hotel California
Rush - Moving Pictures
Hotel C is a more discrete mix (which I like). I particularly liked the presentation on "Victim of Love". Moving Pictures was mixed to sound big. Most of the lead vocals are in all speakers. Usually I don't care for this approach but it seemed to work for this material. The "effect" synth and percussion was discrete, but the main rhythm tracks were big. The front to back and side to side panning of the drums on "YYZ" was especially fun.
-
Eventually the new car smell will wear off, but for a while you guys will get sick of hearing me talk about listening in 5.1.

in the pile I'm sorting through, found a VG very early pressing of Paul McCartney "McCartney ". Have not heard it in a long time. Very, very impressed with the recording/ pressing. Hearing lots of nuances that I had no memory of... pretty cool!
-
It's probably hard to think of Sir Paul as under rated, but I've always felt that album was.
-
I thought I was done and going to bed, but I couldn't resist one more. America - Homecoming. It's really neat to hear those tight three part harmonies coming out of three different speakers. It gives a whole new appreciation for what great part singers they were.
-
America is a group I have come to appreciate more with the passing of time.
-
America sold a lot of records back in the day but I never found the subject matter that they covered in their songs particularly compelling. But you can't knock success!

Picked this album up a few weeks ago, and I keep playing it.... it's a great pressing and for a re-issue/ best of album it's pretty fabulous. I would also consider it an excellent test of one's cartridge, tt set up, stereo separation, tracking etc.... and speakers.... If they can produce the bass line, reproduce the piano line and dynamics, handle the horns etc... it would be saying a lot! my copy is a 1981 release of 1962, '63 and '64 performances. Highly recommended.

Earlier, on vinyl...
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81cYxn16AkL._SY355_.jpg)
It was good to play this with Gina in the room. She thought that "Changes" was a Beatles song, then she found that she knew a couple of the others from movie soundtracks but didn't realize they were Dave either. Clearly I've been negligent as a father.
Later, in surround...
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wJsAAOSw-K9ZGz67/s-l300.jpg)
I had been really looking forward to this one, and it is the first one that largely didn't impress me. The first half could have been closely replicated by playing the stereo CD with Pro Logic on. "Let Me Roll It" was terrible, with far too much delay in the rear vocals. Surround should add to the experience, not distract from it. The only two that benefited (IMHO, of course) were my least favorite and most favorite tracks. Does anyone think of "No Words for My Love" when they remember this album? It's the one true throw away track. 1985 crushed though. A nice, revealing mix throughout, and the build up at the end was what the surround of "A Day in the Life" should have been but wasn't. If you ever get a chance to hear this, just skip to the last track.

Last Worthless Evening and Heart of the Matter always made me melt. I know some will call it sacrilege, but I like those songs better than anything in The Eagles catalog. DTS sounds really good, too.

Very nice sound for an "unofficial" release (someone had the quad tape and converted it to DVD-A). The full band songs didn't do as much for me because the drums are mixed to the rear (makes no sense in my mind), but the piano and string songs sound great in surround. I've always loved Political Science anyway, but this mix took it to another level.

Such a fun album. Surround really works for things like putting the choir in the rears on Church. The acoustic instruments and vocals all sound wonderful. My only complaint on this one is that the point 1 channel is too loud. I've noticed that I never feel the need to adjust the four satellites, and only very rarely the center, but often would turn up or down the sub from album to album. If I made a HT receiver, I would have little buttons for center and sub volume on the remote as well as the big button for system volume.

Was back in Lorain OH for a funeral and 45th class reunion and was able to find time to visit Hansen's Records in Oberlin Ohio. Very nice and unique shop, especially if you are into Techno/ Noise type music. But a decent collection of Jazz and Rock. Picked up a few real gems there including a sealed copy of RYKO Jimi Hendrix "Live at Winterland". Pretty cool opening it up. Sound is just excellent. NM copy of Coltrane "Alternative Takes" which is one of the better reissues I've heard, and a VG copy of Miles "Get up with it"

The Beatles - Abbey Road - 5.1 mix from the Rockband multis.
So, there is this videogame called Rockband, and they did an Abbey Road game. In order to make the game work, you have to be able to turn certain instruments on or off in the playback. So, there are several channels of audio inside of the game. I have no idea what bitdepth or resolution they are, but they don't sound bad.
Somebody cracked the game, and there are multi track files for several of our favorite albums "out there" now (I have quite enjoyed playing with the isolated tracks in Queen - Night at the Opera). Somebody took those multis and did a 5.1 mix of Abbey Road. A couple of (unavoidable, I suspect) oddities aside, I like the mix this fan did much better than I like the official 5.1 of Pepper. This was a really fun mix, revealing in a few spots, and I'm sure I'll return to it often.

It's DVD-A. I'll give you that and the needledrop on discs next time I see you.
If I knew how to send you one track it would likely be "Here Comes the Sun". The separation of the strings and synth really redefine what a great arrangement it is.

Twenty something years ago when Home Theater was the hot new thing, there was one DVD that was the go to music demo. I remembered it sounding really great and wondered how it's held up. It still sounds really great. How does DTS pack six channels of such good sound into the same space as two channels of Redbook CD?

Some of you may know that I recently got "new to me" speakers for the surround sound system in the family room. I have been enjoying them so much that I have tried when possible to listen to at least one surround mixed album a night after the kids are in bed. Of course, the variety available in surround sound is paltry compared to the vast wealth of music available in other formats. So occasionally you listen to something that you may not have otherwise.
This may come as a shock, but I've never listened to a Beck album before. When he first came out, I was put off by the "Loser" video enough to keep me from really seeking out his work. Most of his stuff doesn't seem to get airplay (that should have clued me in I suppose) and what did ("Two Turntables and a Microphone", anyone?) was fine but didn't sway me to change course with him. So tonight I put in the DVD-Audio of "Sea Change" and sat in stunned silence as the beauty of "The Golden Age" swept over me. How could I have missed this for 15 years? Then "Paper Tiger" started and I smugly thought to myself "see, this is the kind of lo-fi crap I knew he must be making and I hate it". Then the orchestrations came in. All of the sudden it went from Jesus and Mary Chain to Elton John's great albums with Paul Buckmaster writing the charts. The album never lost me again from that moment. I felt like I had been transported to another plane. To my shock, the only thing I could think of that the album recalled was the 70s pop-prog of bands like Supertramp or 10CC (high praise indeed). All of the great melody of a pop song with all of the virtuosity of prog rock. I'm still not blown away by his voice, but when the tracks are as wonderful as these, it can be overlooked.
To top it all off, the surround mix was brilliant. Since I don't know the stereo mix to make a comparison, all I can say is that everything seemed right. The stuff that should be grounded was, and the atmospheric stuff floated around in a most wonderful fashion. This one will go right next to "Brothers in Arms" and "Gaucho" as demo material for the home theater. It sounds that great. Tonight's listening session was nothing short of glorious.

Nice write up on Sea Change. The vinyl is fantastic as is the multi channel mix. Now you have to try Morning Phase. That won a Grammy as Album of the Year. Some called it "Sea Change 2". It sounds similar in some ways, yet very original.

I found a DVD-A of Guero "out there". That'll be next, but I do plan to check that one out. Anything that could move Yeesus to an apology must be pretty good. That's one I've been meaning to seek out for a while now. Too bad it didn't get a 5.1 Blu-Ray.

The Brothers in Arms mix was so great that I was really looking forward to this one. Huge disappointment. It sounds like the stereo CD was run through Dolby Pro-Logic and mastered. Don't bother.
(https://rockcinema.eu/resources/Foreigner$7E-$7EAudio$7E4.jpg)
I was mainly curious to hear Thomas Dolby's wonderful synth work on "Waiting for a Girl" and it didn't disappoint. All of those fat synth patches all over the room. That track was made for surround. What surprised me was that I ended up enjoying much of the album. It is an aggressive mix and everything sounds great. I heard a lot of under the mix guitar effects that I never picked up on in the stereo. Reading the credits I didn't recognize the surround mix engineer, but I did learn that it was Junior Walker who played that killer sax solo on "Urgent". If you are a Foreigner fan you should probably hear this.

I busted this out tonight. It was okay. A bit of a letdown after how great Sea Change was. I liked the baroque pop harmonies in "Girl". With regards to the mix I was a bit disappointed that more wasn't happening in the LFE. As hip-hop inspired as some of that music is, it could have at least given the sub a workout. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great.

This may be a hard sell, but I really think that Sheryl Crow is an under-rated musician. I know, it's hard to call someone who has sold over 50 million records under-rated, but when I hear conversations of influential musicians, I almost never hear her name, in spite of the fact that she is a great singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. In the late 90s. nearly every woman on the radio sounded just like her. That is a Beatle-esque feat.
Globe Sessions is my favorite album of hers. Biting, sardonic and topical lyrics, great melodies and densely layered arrangements. The latter attribute made this album well suited to a surround mix. This isn't audiophile stuff. Lots of compression and more than a little of the harsh distortion that was in vogue at the time, but it's all in service of the songs. My only complaint is that none of her other albums ever got a surround mix.

Tonight I sampled some quad offerings. The first was an official 3 SACD Sony Japan release of Santana Lotus.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/SantanaLotusAlbum.jpg)
Taken from the original quad tapes with seven (IIRC) previously unreleased tracks. The performances are great but the mix disappointed me a little. In particular I found the bass to be anemic. Good clarity though, much better than the vinyl rips that circulated previously.
Then, I moved on to a fan made disc. The Rolling Stones Brussels Affair is sourced from a "pre-FM" King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcast.
(https://img.discogs.com/8-1H8u0zhthDcAx6WHH-tz3GRi0=/fit-in/300x300/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-2239974-1271710103.jpeg.jpg)
I assume the source to be a matrixed vinyl rip of the records sent to the radio stations back in the day before satellite distribution. As such, the quality was better than one might expect. The archivist left the KBFH intro on the disc but none of the commercials or filler. Just right into the tunes. What a great show. I often prefer the KBFH, Westwood One etc. shows to official ones as they tend to be less futzed with. The notion of overdubbing a live album has always bothered me in spite of the fact that almost everyone does it. This is a nice capture of my favorite Stones incarnation. The full band is spread out over the two front channels, Mick Taylor is largely in the rear left and the horns are largely in the rear right (along with ambiance in the rears). Great set list too. Mostly stuff recorded in the Mick Taylor era. If it only had included "Dead Flowers" it would be nearly perfect.
-
good review! Listen to that CD-4 album yet? lol Has to be the worst demo album ever! :P

I don't have a quad vinyl set up yet. Probably won't happen until one of the kids hits the bricks. I have the hardware, just no place to put it.

The Kinks Great Lost Album, I've owned this LP since the 70's , bought new at NRM in Monroeville I think, can't remember ever listening to it the whole way through. I was more into Black Sabbath and similar ilk.

That album went OOP after Davies sued Reprise. It was quite collectible before the last Kinks reissue campaign, which saw those tracks issued (properly) as bonus tracks for the various albums from which sessions they came. Even with the tracks in print, a clean copy of that record will bring $20-$30.

All I can say is that this is the only way to hear this album. It is better in every way. A creative mix which serves the experimental nature of the work well, and unlike the CD there is actual dynamic range in each of the six channels. The fidelity is astonishingly better than the CD. If you like this album at all, you MUST hear this version.

This one may be the biggest surprise of my surround journey thus far. I certainly don't think of Skynyrd and audiophile as being in the same wheelhouse, but this is quite an excellent listen. The mix isn't flashy like some, but it does everything it's supposed to. It gives all of the instruments more room to breathe. Of particular note was the fine percussion work in "Gimme Three Steps" which I never really noticed before under the Rossington Collins guitar assault which that song is.

The music wavered between it's modern hip hop influences and old school jazz. The sampled drums sure gave the sub a workout. Recommended for people who don't really like hip hop but like that kind of bass that rattles quarter panels all over Wilkinsburg.

I can take Seal in small doses. To me he is kind of like Lenny Kravitz with all of the funk stripped out. He has that polite British thing to way too high of a degree for my tastes. That said, I did enjoy listening to his hits tonight, and the disc is real ear candy if you like him. Whether it's the densely layered keyboards of "Crazy" or the densely layered vocals of "Kiss from a Rose", this stuff was made to be mixed in surround. It is a good mix, demo quality stuff. Plus there are ten of his videos as bonus material if you're into looking at a beautiful black man for 45 minutes (you know who you are).

A major disappointment. First off, the lead vocals are mixed equally in all speakers. I hate that. It kind of ruined the Rumours DVD-A for me as well. I guess they give this treatment to try to give the vocal a big sound stage, but I like to be able to place the singer in the mix just like you can with the instruments (BTW, the mix otherwise is nice). I've never been to a movie where they mixed the lead actor's voice into all of the channels, I don't know why audio guys think this is a good idea. Even worse, the disc is authored in such a way that the player loses the codec in between each song, and there is no silence at the track fronts, so each song gets the first half second or so clipped off as the gear sets up for the proper parameters. Very amateurish. This disc is only available as part of a $60 box set, and if I had shelled out that kind of money for this I would be livid.
(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81JCIAWMSsL._SY679_.jpg)
Fabulous. I could nitpick about a db or two here or there, but there is really no need, it would be minutia. These mixes are excellent and the bonus material is really enjoyable, not filler at all. Highly recommended.

By far the best of the FM surround mixes. Tusk was markedly better than Rumours, and this is markedly better than Tusk. I don't know if they hired new people or if the ones who have been doing this all along have just become more adept at mixing for surround, but I wish they would go back and give their greatest album it's greatest mix. While we're at it, let's have the self titled album in surround as well.

The 5.1 mix on the Blu Ray is really nice (as expected), but I still have a hard time hearing this album as anything other WYWH point two. I wish I could find merit in the music on it's own.

Not "right now" but earlier tonight I was listening to Counting Crows and Matchbox 20 at Starlake. I'm a big Crows fan, but they were just okay. Adam Duritz seems to have given up on the top half of his range. He reworked many spots to go lower instead of higher. The band seemed to be lacking energy. Not nearly as good as the records. 20, OTOH, I never had much of an opinion on. Okay songs, they don't make me reach for the tuner dial, but they never inspired me to buy anything either. They put on a fabulous show. Rob Thomas is engaging and energetic. They sounded better live than I remember the records.
-
Not "right now" but earlier tonight I was listening to lots of great people at Farm Aid. The early highlight for me was the Avett Brothers set. This really surprised me as I was not a huge fan but they put on a spectacular short set. Act after act that followed didn't best them. I will definitely be revisiting their material.
Sheryl Crow and Lukas Nelson singing together on "Midnight Rider" was my one goosebump moment of the evening. Neil Young did a set list with some (relative) obscurities and all songs that I love. "Cortez the Killer", "Comes a Time" and "Human Highway" are all songs that I never expected to hear but was thrilled when he played them. He finished his set with "Like a Hurricane" into "Rocking in the Free World" and that geezer is still just as intense as he ever was. So much for nobody topping the Avetts. What a great show. What a wonderful evening.
-
Right now, I'm down on Ocracoke island listening to the the dogs bark and the roosters crowing for day. I think there may be a song or two with that imagery.
I've seen the Avetts numerous times and don't envy anyone following them. They usually whip up quite the frenzy! Thanks for the review, STaL.
-
I don't go to shows at Starlake anymore, but this one was tempting. Instead, me and the baby watched some of the broadcast on AXS. We didn't get halfway through yet. So far, Texas Flood by Lukas Nelson and the Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds set were my favorites. Tim Reynolds is incredible at adding to Dave's solo playing. I was disappointed Lukas Nelson and Jamey Johnson got shorted on the broadcast. I know country isn't a favorite here, but Johnson's Lonesome Song LP is one of my favorites. Hope Cortez the Killer made the cut for TV. Only time I've seen Neil Young live was way back at the last Farm Aid at Starlake and his set back then blew me away.
Glad you had a good time STaL
-
You said "yet". Does this mean you have it on the DVR? Do you have a way to burn it to DVDs? I'm going to check some other resources, but if they come up blank it would be wonderful to have such a souvenir or the event. I'm sure I'd watch it repeatedly.
-
The early ones were shorted because the show actually started at 12:30 but the broadcast didn't start until 3. If I find someone who captured the entire webstream, I can get you a copy. I would be stunned if the headliners sets are truncated.
BTW, I like that kind of country. I just don't like top 40 bro country. I have Sturgill and Jason in my collection and plan now to seek out Johnson's album.
-
I'm not the only one who liked the show.

I recorded the 12-5AM broadcast. They also shuffled the acts in the broadcast. Sometimes I can rip DVR recordings (or live TV) if the broadcast isn't locked. I can't recall the specific codes, but some broadcasts can only be played on a single device, others can be replayed via firewire. I'll need to check it out.
Hopefully the whole recording exists and makes it out.
Whitey Morgan and the 78s may worth a listen.

Hit up a few record shops while traveling to/ through Asheville, Charleston, Savannah and Myrtle Beach these past two weeks. Here's a list of the LPs I picked up. Have not had time to clean them yet, nor give them a critical listen due to breaking in new Silnote speaker cables (so far, so good).
-Wayne Henderson "Big Daddy's Place" - great recording and music if you can get beyond the one disco cut lol
-Canned Heat "Vintage" surprising good recording
-John Abercrombie / John Dejohnette "New Directions" pretty sweet album
-John Abercrombie "Abercrombie Quartet M" good recording not listened to in depth yet
-Dexter Gordon "Ca-Purange" Great recording surprisingly progressive
-Jazz at the Philharmonic in Europe Japanese Verve just excellent pressing and sound Dizzy, JJ Johnson, Stan Getz
-Gil Evans "Live at the Public Theater (NY 1980) Japanese pressing Quite good
-Joe Farrell Quartet CTI 6003 great album with Chick Corea, John McLaughlin. Turning into a real Joe Farrell fan.
- Walter Trout "We're all in this together" I really like WT, so I paid up for this latest release. Sound is at best so-so... I swear it was recorded off of a CD. Dynamics are really missing from every cut on the two record set. Which is a real shame especially with all the great artists on it. Love the music, but not the recording
-
Picked up some vintage vinyl today, Steely Dan-The Royal Scam, ELO- 1st album I think, The Alan Parsons Project- I Robot, Pablo Cruise- Worlds Away, all appear in very nice clean condition, well taken care of original (maybe) issues. Spinning Steely Dan now.

The Blu-Ray has the Gutherie 5.1 and the AP quad as concurrent tracks on the audio selector, so you can A/B compare track by track with only slight glitches. It may be just my system, or it may be the fact that I've been listening to the AP since it was booted about ten years ago, but I like the quad better. Even though it is two fewer channels, it seems less congested to my ear. Of course, that is the type of thing that is very system dependent as well. YMMV.
-
Isn't the quad all analog?
-
I suspect it is but never gave a thought to the provenance of it or the 5.1. My favorite 5.1 ever (Dire Straits - BIA) is not only digital, but low bit rate digital.

These two albums aren't my favorite surround mixes, but they are everything I love about DVD-A and why I (heresy alert) prefer it to SACD.
Nick of Time has a large, non discreet surround mix on most tracks (it works better for the blues numbers than the pop stuff), but a couple tunes like "Have a Heart" do have some dedicated instrumentation in the rears. Not the best mix I've heard, but not the worst either. What I really like about the DVD-A is that it most closely replicates the "vinyl experience" as any digital album I've found. The album lets you select a slide show, track credits or lyrics for each song as it plays. This, to me, mirrors how I generally enjoy a record. I look at the album art, read lyrics or see who played what as I listen to an album. That was the same thing I found myself doing with this disc.
Buena Vista Social Club did far more than just replicate the vinyl experience. It turned the whole thing into an interactive documentary. Since the album was a collaborative effort, with many people playing on different tracks, there are detailed credits for each track. In addition, there are extensive liner notes for each track which give background on the song, the performers and the recording. I found this to be incredibly helpful as I know almost nothing about Cuban music. If all of that wasn't enough, there is also a video documentary on the disc. If Nick of Time is like digital vinyl, this one is like a digital box set with a 30 page book included. The only down side is that Ry did the surround mix himself, which I think was a mistake. It is a basic three channel theater type mix, with only light ambiance in the rears. The good news is that you can also listen to the superior stereo mix in high resolution as you peruse the other features.

Just finished listening to the 5.1 Blu Ray. This is worth seeking out if you are a fan of the album, not essential for the casual listener. A nice mix, but not outstanding. Ironically, the part I was most looking forward to ended up being the biggest disappointment. I love the Chris Cornell/Eddie Vedder duet on "Hunger Strike" and was hoping for a creative mix there. It was creative. They went with a front/rear mix for the two singers. IMHO this would have worked great except that they put Cornell front center, and Vedder rear left and right (I suppose for the lack of a rear center). The problem is that putting Eddie across two speakers while Chris is in just the one gives the effect of his vocal being bigger. Of course in the stereo mix this isn't the case and it makes no sense to have that effect here. Had they put Cornell across the front two speakers rather than just in the center this mix would have been brilliant. There is no "credits" page on the disc (the menuing as a whole is not great), so I don't know who did the mix, but they were so close.

It's been a long day so I'll try to be brief. The whole listen is great. "Your My Best Friend" has some subtleties that I had always missed on the stereo mix. I now appreciate "'39" in a way I hadn't before. Of course "Bohemian Rhapsody" is the centerpiece of the album and the 5.1 mix is nothing short of breathtaking. I had wondered if dividing all of those layered vocals between five speakers would make them seem smaller. Nope, the opposite effect happened. Being able to hear each of the dense layers more clearly actually had the effect of making the vocals seem even larger. A couple of times I heard things that I don't think were actually in the stereo mix at all. Did Elliot Scheiner end up using tracks that had been recorded and left out of the original mix or are they simply audible for the first time? You know what? I don't care. Either way, listening to that recording with that mix was akin to a religious experience for me.

This is a great test album. You'll know within a few cuts if your cartridge is tracking well. Obviously the drums are exceptionally well recorded, but the guitar solos are just as good. Very nice album / music.... the synthesizer effects are not overdone, which was more than typical of the era lol

Great album, nice mix. It starts off modestly but becomes more involved as the album goes on (much like the album itself). The drums on "Lightnin' Hopkins" particularly benefit from the surround mix.

Here's your proof that even the best mix can't fix mediocre music. I love REM, but it is obvious on this one that they were simply going through the motions. "High Speed Train" is the worst Stipe vocal ever. If he had cared at all at that point it never would have even seen the light of day. Uninspired is one thing, but horribly out of tune is another. The "Yeah yeahs" on "Ascent of Man" sound like he is parodying himself. It's so bad that it actually makes me wonder if he did it just to see if he could get away with it. Maybe they should have gone back to Scott Litt to produce this one since he always buried the vocals anyhow. If "Leaving New York" had made the "In Time" compilation, there would be no reason for this to exist.

Found the soundtrack to the movie Kansas City. Music is great, and it's a pretty remarkable recording. Imaging is among the best I've ever heard. A full CD page of notes re the engineering that went into the recording. Very highly recommended!

one of my $2 finds; Chick Corea My Spanish Heart
Have a number of his albums, but was still not a big fan.... But I really like this one... and the recording is just fantastic! One of the better "mike jobs" I've heard in quite a while. You can place the players very very precisely.

Nice surround mix of a great album. The visuals are weak and the menuing wonky, but it's a great listen. They really got the vintage spring reverb sound in Tom's vocals right.
-
been looking for that on the used market.... great reviews.
It's a great set. I've picked up a few of these mosaics directly from founder Michael Cuscuna. I spoke with him a while back and he told me that, back in the day, he put a handful of each of their releases aside for 'retirement planning'. I think they are getting close to closing down the operation within a few years.
Currently listening to "Third Man Theme" - Anton Karas (LL 1560)

It's a rotten shame....
I have been building Tidal play lists, either be genre or by decade, as I am sure some you may also be doing. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon scrolling through time; when I got to the contemporary stuff (the last 10 years), I had to back about 10db off the volume control. Damn compression.

A DVD-A made from a transfer of the Japanese only discrete quad mix of this seminal soul album. "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" in surround is just mind blowing. Great stuff. Only topped by...
(https://www.popsike.com/pix/20131103/171164995338.jpg)
Also from Japan only CD-4 vinyl. I think I like this mix even better than the LA mix. I don't even have to bother saying what a masterpiece the album is, do I? The 50th Anniversary of this album is coming up, maybe Universal will give us a Blu-Ray with 24/192 stereo, this quad mix and a new Atmos mix. Is that too much to ask?

STAL,
"What's Going On", one of my favorite songs and albums.
If you can, take a listen to the Quincey Jones version on his CTI "Smackwater Jack" album. As an aside, the cast of characters on the album is incredible.

Out of the Afternoon - Roy Haynes Quartet
Impulse A-23
great music for a Saturday morning. This is one of 30 LPs I picked up Thursday, mostly jazz. Some Coltrane, Miles, Monk, Gene Ammons as well as some free jazz stuff like several Art Ensemble of Chicago LPs and Ornette live at Prince Street.
-
We're all together again for the first time Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond et all....
Has to be one of the best live recordings I've heard.... been playing this off and on for about a week now, and still can't get over the recording/ mix. Pretty darn good for 1973

I'm on a David Gilmour kick lately listening to his solo LPs. Wishing I could afford and/or justify the $500+ for Live at Gdansk.

Elton John---Honky Chateau
-
now there's one that I haven't listened to in a long time.... will have to pull it out and give it a spin. Thanks
-
My three favorite Elton John albums have always been Honky Chateau, Mad Man Across the Water and 11-17-70, Yellow Brick road is great; however for me it marks a transition to his later style(s).
-
For me, it's the string of albums he did with Paul Buckmaster string arrangements, starting with the self titled, and going through Tumbleweed Connection, Friends and especially Madman Across the Water. I think it's hard to overstate Paul's contribution to the sound of those works.

I'm still warming up to the surround listening. No major complaints on that disc. However, I think one of the Doors discs was a horrible mix IMO. Seemed like they turned an amateur loose on the mixer.

It was done by Bruce Botnik, the same guy who mixed the originals. He hasn't done any other surround mixes that I am aware of though.

This is still my favorite TH album. I always considered it sparse, but the surround mix shows that about half the album is more layered than I had previously considered. I even heard a couple elements which had previously escaped my attention (bits of piano in the first part of "Tentative Decisions" and backing vocals in "Book I Read" as just two examples). Some complain that the rear channels are a bit light on content, but I think ET Thorngren and Jerry Harrison presented the work in a way that is at once true to it's original release and more expansive. The fidelity is great, and the extras are compelling. A ten all the way for me.
-

I bought this one in a fit of hometown pride after it won two Grammys. It is wonderful. Just the liner notes are worth the money. Honeck thinks on a whole different plane from us mere mortals and his breakdown of the works brought things to my attention that I would never have come to on my own. As impressive as his writing is, his conducting is even stronger. There wasn't a moment where I lost my focus on the music. His reading is enraptured.
Plus, for us gearheads, the engineers get a page to discuss what they did (spoiler alert: DSD 256 throughout). The surround mix is not discrete, but I've listened to a handful of concerts at Heinz Hall, and this disc actually does sound like Heinz Hall.
It's quite brilliant. I'm both cheap and not a guy who listens primarily to classical, but tonight's listening session is making me want to go purchase all of the Honeck SACDs on Reference Recordings.
-
Even if you aren't a big classical guy, if you are a movie guy you should buy this. The Barber Adagio has been used to great effect in more than a couple films. I think the first time I heard it was in a gripping scene in "Platoon".
BTW, slightly off topic, but this disc brought to my attention the first subtle lack of cohesion in my surround set up. Pepe specifically commented on how well the different components worked together. Toward the end of the Allegro Non Troppo there are some staccato tympani parts that revealed a subtle "slowness" in the subwoofer. I was hearing the overtones ever so slightly ahead of the deep fundamentals. I've never noticed this on a rock recording. I'm wondering if this is inherent in the recording or if it is something that I can correct in my system, perhaps by changing the "distance" setting on the sub channel or the phase setting on the sub itself. I wouldn't expect a 2x10 to be particularly slow, but I did notice it here, just ever so slightly.
-
Reference Recordings are outstanding, IMO. My best recorded/engineered CDs are Reference and I have none I don't like. Their CDs match or best my best vinyl listening experiences

I always expect AP mixes to be great, and the 5.1 Blu-Ray does not disappoint. In particular, the interludes in "Silence and I" are stunning. Colin Blunstone's vocal on "Old and Wise" has never sounded better.

This is not only my favorite album by a solo Eagle, I dare say it ranks with the best of the group's output (something Frey could never say). The 5.1 mix, while I won't go so far as to call it inspired, is very good. The opening Bruce Hornsby piano on the title track grabs you, and the ear candy just keeps coming. "New York Minute" is a track that was made for surround, with the jazzy opening coming from the front and the more modern sounds coming from the rear. The two power ballads which were the biggest hits from the album, "Last Worthless Evening" and "Heart of the Matter" both sound bigger in surround. The mixes take a good thing and make it even better.
Don't worry that it's "only" dts. The fidelity here is wonderful and this album sounds a lot less dated than many of it's contemporaries. Highly recommended.

Thrift store vinyl. I have always loved "Lovely Day", but I really like most of this album. The overt attempt at disco that opens side two falls flat, but the rest is like the musical version of sitting poolside sipping your beverage of choice.

It's just nice to have a bit of time to sit and listen to music. Life has been so crazy lately. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone at the swap meet. I wish tape deek could be there.

Aerosmith has always been somewhat disposable for me, but I mean disposable in the best way, like Chinese food. You don't sit and ponder it after you've consumed it, but you really enjoy it while it's going down. That said, I didn't expect, or even want, the ultimate in fidelity from this disc. These tracks are supposed to be a bit dirty. However, the fidelity here is good, and it does work. Side one is enjoyable, but the surround mix doesn't really do anything to make you feel like you were missing anything in the stereo version. On side two, however, as the music itself develops more complexity, so does the mix. The one track I was looking forward to in surround was "Sweet Emotion" and it gave me everything I had hoped for. Great atmospherics and even some swirling effects which were completely appropriate to the music, and really big sound throughout. It is the one true system demo track on the disc. It makes me want "Dream On" in surround. A very good addition to the collection.

Moses Sumney "Aromanticism" really great album for late night listening.
Love Sculpture "Blues Helping" excellent recording and great music I think it would go better with beer and bourbon than wine lol

When I saw the bandsaw cut on this, I was hoping it was a promo and not a cut out. Turns out it is the rare "secret quiex" promo. It sounds amazing!

Lounging on the deck, drinking fresh coffee and listening to 2001 digital remastered Cd of "smiley smile". Mellow morning music for $2 ......
"Close your eyes and lean back.
Listen to my wind chi-iiiii-iiiii-imes."

Did you ever get the reconstructed "Smile"? It's become one of my favorite albums.
-
No, I did not, but once upon a time, a fellow Trader (Beach Boys reference) sent me several bootlegs of various versions of "Smile". Always a fun listen All Summer Long.
-
You HAVE to get a copy. It has passed Pet Sounds as my favorite Beach Boys album. I watched "Love and Mercy" a couple weeks back and it made me want to kick Mike Love in the nuts.
-
I've noticed that I never feel the need to adjust the four satellites, and only very rarely the center, but often would turn up or down the sub from album to album. If I made a HT receiver, I would have little buttons for center and sub volume on the remote as well as the big button for system volume.
Remember way back when I said this? I didn't know it when I selected the Onkyo, but it turns out that the remote has a "quick menu" button that let's you get to key features without having to go through the whole menu. Two of those features are center and sub level. How VERY cool!
-
Anyone here who likes The Flaming Lips HAS TO come to my house and hear it in surround. It's akin to a religious experience. The mix is daring, the fidelity absolutely crushes the stereo version and my new Onkyo did exactly what I hoped it would do when I bought it. All of those bells and electronic percussion have a lovely sparkle to them that was lacking before.
-
I am not a flaming lips fan, but would love a chance to hear your rig.
I am still dealing with unpacking and the move and don't yet have my gear connected. It turns out our 200 yards of new carpet is defective and needs to be replaced. I can't install the theater and 5.1 system until it is replaced, which will be around the middle of September....sigh.

Currently listening to a just-opened copy of the Prestige 50th Anniversary, 20bit K2 coding CD of John Coltrane's"Soultrane". I must have purchased this 15 years ago and, somehow, it just sat on the shelf all this time as I always reached for the Impulse stuff. Along with Coltrane on tenor, Red Garland is on piano, Paul Chambers (Mr. PC) is on bass and Art Taylor is handling the sticks. First two tunes are over 10 minutes long, giving Coltrane a chance to really blow. Great sounding CD.
from Wikipedia:
The album is a showcase for Coltrane's late-1950s "sheets of sound" style, the term itself coined by critic Ira Gitler in the album's liner notes.
-
A lot of Oscar Peterson. Am I the only one who thinks his stuff would be pretty good except I can't get past his grunting along with his solos?
-
I listen to a lot of Keith Jarrett and Bud Powell. They do a lot of 'vocalising' too. I view it as being really emotionally involved in the playing.

Sitting on the back porch, drinking a hot cup of joe and listening to disc five of the George Mitchell Collection, as the rain continues to fall. Its seven disc set of field recording Mitchell made during the 60s. Essential listening if you're a country blues fan. These include the first recordings of R L Burnside as well as cuts by Sleepy John Estes, Fred McDowell, Johnny Woods, Houston Stackhouse, Will Shade and many others. Five stars!!
-

RL Burnside is great. Not sure what's on the compilation you have, but his album First Recordings is pretty good. I believe they pulled him off a tractor and recorded him on the front porch. Love that raw, live stuff.

most of the stuff on the 7 cd Mitchell collection is as raw as you can get. They are mostly field recordings from the 60s. So they were recording in homes and juke joints, not studios.
Currently listening to a nice soundboard of the Dead doing Dark Star from 11/2/69.
I have also been enjoying the '73-'74 PNW box over the weekend. Got it delivered Saturday. It's a 19 disc beast. Maybe by the time I listen to it all, this rain will stop.

An amazingly well preserved Decca black label from either 1955 or 1958. Sounds great. NEVER buy any MCA reissue of this album, they are all fake stereo. Decca rainbows were labeled "rechanneled" if they were fake stereo or no label for mono, but the original black labels can't be beat.

No holiday music until after Thanksgiving for me. Even the good stuff.

Well, I'm cleaning albums to sell them. This one made it's way on to the platter in that process though I'm not selling it. I wanted to make sure it plays as good as it looks before listing the Decca Rainbow stripe mono that it is replacing.

Many if not most of us have had the experience of listening to a pair of speakers that really pop in initial hearing, but become fatiguing with a long session or with different material (JBL L-100) vs a speaker than almost makes you yawn as a first impression, but then draws you in as you continue to listen, until you aren't really noticing the speaker at all, just the music (EPI 100). This mix is the EPI 100, not flashy or gimmicky in any way, but just drawing you in, making you appreciate the music in a great way and at times in ways you never have before. "Mother Nature's Son" was just magnificent, and it's always been kind of a middle of the road track for me. I was so glad they used the slap back echo on the snare on "Helter Skelter" like on the mono instead of the dry treatment like on the stereo. As much as I was disappointed in the Pepper 5.1 is as much as I am elated with the 5.1 White Album. Giles and his team really hit a home run here.
-
If I were to pick one nit, I would say that Paul's bass seems to have lost a shade of it's wonderful upper midrange growl. The pick on Rick sound was one of the most iconic rock sounds in my mind and it is slightly softened here.

I am hoping Santa brings me the 50th Anniversary The Beatles Super Deluxe. Between recent purchases of the Dylan box and the Kinks Viilage Green 50th ( lost enroute from Amazon.uk, and allegedly re-sent) as well as the piles of CDs/box sets from the 40000 collection in Murrysville, I am tapped out.
Currently listening to Fred Hersch/Bill Frisell. "Songs we Know".
Nice set of standards for a mellow, wet morning
-
Back in the day, 1973?, was never a fan of EPI 100s but loved L 100s. Actually auditioned them both for many hours and picked /purchased the L100s .. Never experienced ear fatigue of any kind with them. I did find that the L100s liked more power and sounded best with Marantz receivers instead of Pioneer and others of those days.
-
I had EPI M201's, kind of like two EPI 100's in one box. At the time they were paired with a bad ass Sony STR-6200f receiver, boy I had a ton of fun with that combo. STILL have not heard golden-era JBL's..

Ahmad Jamal Freeflight LP (Impulse! - AS-9217)
-
Morphine - yes. Recently remastered and repressed. The vinyl is dead silent, very spread out and ambient. I love this album, one of my favorites. I paid a nice ransom for a sealed original last summer and I’ll need to pull it out to compare, but if you’re a fan the repress is worth every cent.
-
The original press of yes is louder and larger than the repress. The original also has much more sibilance around the vocals, they cleaned all of that up on the repress.

I got this one on vinyl, going to sneak it into the rotation while we do xmas lights. Earl is/was John Lee Hooker's cousin. My daughter loves this one as well, especially her namesake track Anna Lee, though we spell it Annalee.

Win-win! I picked up the Adele a few days ago. For a new, sealed record it has horrible pops n clicks throughout. Hopefully it will clean up.
Found a reasonably priced RSD version of this and I've spun it over and over 5-6 times and hear something new each time.

Any chance that could be related to the earlier issues you were discussing? Are you absolutely certain of the quality of the ground signal on your table? A bad ground can cause all kinds of headaches.

Nope, this is just one of those not so great quality records. It happens. It's in the 'to be cleaned' stack along with a few others.
As for the noise issue, I swapped out the Furman the vinyl rig was on and that seemed to help. I'm still having random issues when powering the system up and down. Sometimes I get a thud or pop when I turn the Furman on (with pre and amp off) and again after I turn it off (amp off first, then pre). Using an outlet tester everything checks out ok. The amp has a ground lug, but I didn't connect it to anything...yet.
I ordered a Audio Technica AT630 SUT so I can test using the moving coil table into my MM pre which has a much quieter noise floor than the JD9, the JD9 hisses like crazy and I never found the culprit. Once the SUT arrives I'll test it out and see what happens, maybe the JD9 gets put somewhere else or out to pasture.
-
If at some point you want to test that Jolida in another system/environment, I'd be happy to give it a test drive for a while. That could be fun.
-
I don't have the hiss problem with my original JD9... quiet as can be. I did replace the op amps in mine to good effect, but even with the originals had no hiss.
-
Does any of the gear in the signal chain have a three prong plug? If so, try lifting the ground. Although I usually try ground lifts with hum problems, one never knows.
-
I guess it was a good day to go to the Buy the Pound. I just got this nice little system for ten bux. HK PM660, HK TU615 and JBL L40s. Reviews of the stuff seem to indicate pretty high quality. All untested, but at that price...

Oh, and if you liked it on first listen you may fall in love with it on repeated listens. Lots of layers, especially for a "country" album (parentheses because this is NOT Rascal Flats or whatever is big on country radio now). He wrote the album as a letter to his newborn son, so knowing that helps with the lyrics. Musically, I love the tracks with The Dap Kings. Using a great horn section puts me back to the 70s when the Southern Rock movement was melding styles and Al Green and some other soul singers weren't afraid to tackle a country song. Plus, the Nirvana cover is so wonderful and unexpected.
-
I believe Sturgill once said he will do five albums and then he'll move on to something else. Next one will be #4 and it will be without his original guitarist who was great IMHO.
This is my favorite Sturgill performance, the guitar tone is killer

"Mellow Guitar" George Van Eps Columbia -6 eye (Mono)
Picked up a surprisingly clean copy for a buck yesterday at local estate sale yesterday, before the Storm of the Century hit. Never had any of his music but remember him being featured in Guitar Player magazine back when I thought subscribing to these magazines and reading more articles would improve my guitar playing!!! Great playing of some standards wwith a little string orchestra accompaniment. Still very jazzy.....
Now I have to head out to help move a car off my neighbors lawn. Her son the doctor got it stuck when he slid off the driveway last night as he attempted to leave for work on an early morning emergency call. Looks cold out there.

No luck moving the car without chewing up the lawn more so they got road assistance from GEICO and pulled out the vehicle.
Since it's his birthday, I pulled out and have just finished listening to "Go down, Old Hannah" by Leadbelly (Rounder CD 1099). Next up, Jazz in Silhouette " by that outer space creature, Sun Ra.

I rarely post here. I am thoroughly enjoying Beck Morning Phase on vinyl 180 gram (bought from Crate & Barrel). Easily the best sounding vinyl album I have heard on my system. Apparently it won Grammys for best rock album and engineering (non classical) well deserved, even though I have no idea what its competition was. It's these surprises that make me remember why I build such elaborate monstrosities.

I just picked up Italian copies of Unhalfbricking and Liege & Lief from eBay. They were cheap and said to be NM. I knew nothing about Italian vinyl, and felt dubious of the grade, but at $6 each for records that when clean go north of $30 each (well north in some cases) I thought I'd take the risk. They sound great. Very pleased.

I think I have that Marcia Ball on CD but can't think where it possibly can be. And that's probably not the first time that phrase has passed through the awareness filter.
Anyway, currently listening to a copy of the "Run, Angel, Run" soundtrack , an LP I picked up while vacationing on Ocracoke last fall. Good Hollywood production (but no credits) and Tammy Wynette, what's not to like? I' m guessing crack players, like Tommy Tedesco, on guitar.
Next up, "Side by Siide" Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges LP on Verve (probably first pressing). In glorious mono. Like the label says," A Panoramic True High Fidelity Record."
I'll be reaching for this one on a regular basis.....

If you like The Jayhawks you should like Blue Rodeo. They are a Canadian band well regarded there but hardly known at all here.

I was lucky enough to find one at a reasonable cost. It sounds wonderful.

Odd one at GW today. The recent 180 Gram reissue of Elvis Costello Armed Forces. But it didn't have the jacket, just the record in the inner.

My only observation was that people getting refunds do their taxes in February and people who owe do them in April.

I always do taxes early and file them early if getting a refund or file them around April 15 if there is money owed. I prepare about 10 returns for friends and family.
Currently watching the moon going down behind the trees (and cell towers) while listening to Mississippi Fred McDowell. He gets a nasty, deep groove going when he gets rolling.

Well, I was listening to "Hearts" by America from the quadraphonic sacd on my just completed (finally) home theater PC. I say "was" because our power just went out.

Power is still out. I'm going to be sad when my phone dies.

Trees were down all over the Murrysville area. One came down on her house and two fell on her neighbors house.

Bill Withers: Live at Carnegie Hall (Sussex - SXBS 7025-2)
-
I had just put the boy to bed, was heading downstairs to listen to some records...poof...lights out.
Earlier in the day the neighbor’s tree came down, took out about 30’ of his fence and a portion of my shed roof.
-
That sucks. I hope he is covered.
-
His insurance will cover his fence and $500 towards tree cleanup, and ZERO for my damage. The tree alone is going to be at least $1000 to cleanup and another 12-1500 to remove the part still standing. At least the power is back on, Fios is still out.
Listening to the new Galactic-Ready Already Ready.
-
Very sorry to read. Had a monster size tree go down from a microburst a few years ago that damaged my neighbors shed. My insurance company paid without question or hesitation. I really don't think you're not getting the whole story, time to get an attorney or a read through his policy. You should not be responsible for any $$$ unless the tree is on your property.
-
What Jim said. I'm no insurance expert but I know with auto (for example) insuring your own vehicle is optional but insuring the other guy's is mandatory. Did you talk to the neighbor or to your agent? If you only talked to your neighbor, my next call would be to your agent. They have a stake in your property and will likely get you better answers than you are getting on your own.
-
Plus it seems less hostile if you let them go after the neighbor rather than trying to do it yourself.
-
Scorp
take pictures of everything before anything changes then call your agent.

Thelonious Monk: Newport ‘59 (Concert Vault CVLP-001)

My damages aren’t likely to exceed $100. He’s a good guy, he feels horrible about it and seems willing to take care of things. I always assumed home covered any damage your property (trees) did to others. Makes me wonder about new neighbor’s up the road who had a huge pine take out all the power and cable lines and two telephone poles. Telephones poles are insanely exspensive.
Listening to a $1 Beethoven 5th from HPB. Ran it through the ultrasonic and it’s very listenable now. It put the music above the crackles. Gives me hope for the other $1 classical records I have.

Just an FYI I was in the Attic today and they had quite a few RSD releases all still priced at the original selling price.
-
The Steve Gadd Band RSD release is just awesome. Great music, exceptional pressing / mastering. So good it'll make anyone's system sound better lol
Along those same lines, picked up the Tommy Bolin live release "Taste" . And if it wasn't in poor taste (reference the complete title) , I'd say it sucked. Has to be one of the worst record titles ever, in addition to poor selections/ poor recordings/ poor remastering etc. If that was the best they could do, they should have left them in the can lol I like his music but this is a waste of $.

Picked up a few new releases recently, and the one I've fallen in love with is Nils Lofgren Blues with Lou. Makes me remember why I've been a fan for such a long time now. Not the ultimate recording or pressing, but what few shortcomings it has, are much more than made up by the songs / music/ writing. A great listen.... will be in regular rotation. Jim

I just found out that the 1984 John Matousek remastering of What's Going On (considered by many to be the best sounding version) had a very limited promo run on Quiex vinyl. I was lucky enough to track down a very affordable copy. It smokes my first pressing in every way. Perhaps at some point Carl and I can A/B it to his One Step. What a great listen.

IF you ever find another copy at a semi reasonable cost, please pick it up for me! One of my very favorite albums....

BTW, my reasonable price was $25. I don't know what may be reasonable to you, but it was far less than the One Step.

A recent release that sounds like one of the great 70s soul albums. They are a husband and wife. She had been a professional singer of some sort already (back up singer IIRC) and he started writing music as a way of coping with his PTSD after Iraq. She saw him performing and they became a couple. Very positive music with smokin grooves.

"Thou carest, Lord" by the Holy Ghost Sanctifiers
From disc one of the Dust to Digital six disc box set 'Goodbye Babylon". It's all early gospel music, packaged in a gorgeous cedar box. Includes a 200 page booklet.
Perfect listening on a 4th of July morning, sipping some chai out on the back deck, watching the sun come up over a very quiet neighborhood.
Hope everyone has a safe and relaxing holiday.

It's a well done album from sound to packaging, I'm not disappointed. Musically, the album goes all over the place - hip hop, soul, blues, r&b, etc. My guess is this release will show up used, it's not just some SRV-style record and those buyers will be disappointed.
A note on the Delvon Lammar Organ Trio records - they're oddball jacket sized, taller and narrower by at least 1/4". The content however is blistering awesome.
Hopefully tonight is Gov't Mule - Bring on the Music vol 1 and 2.

I've been through dozens of copies of this title looking for one that sounded "right". I just got a great deal (in part because the OBI is missing but no biggie to me) on a NM 1976 Warner Pioneer Japan pressing (Atlantic P-10123-A). Some would find it thin on bass as many Japan records are, but I don't mind tweaking the tone controls. The important thing to me is that it is carefully mastered and has the most even sound track to track that I've ever heard on this album. Great balance from song to song and none of the mid-track adjustments that plague so many of the US pressings I've heard. Plus the pressing is very quiet.
I still think that the album needs a new mix from the multis, but short of that I think buying more copies now would only be academic. I've heard enough to believe it's not getting much better than this.

I really enjoy Metheny. Didn't know Mays had passed.
BTW, I'm listening to the car radio.

It's Mardi Gras day. I just finished both sides of "Having a Good Time" by Huey "Piano" Smith and His Clowns (Ace LP 1004. Mono). Right now, I pulled a very nice copy of " For the Roses" I got Saturday. I guess it's pretty common but it's quiet and the cover, as well as the inner, is perfect. Definitely an upgrade over my copy.
Next up will be Professor Longhair "New Orleans piano"
Wish I had the "Treme" box set!!!

Great album. I think she is under rated/exposed.

Cracker - Kerosene Hat
One of my favorite CDs back in the 90s. When I found out that MOV had done a vinyl issue, I immediately bought it. Big fan of David Lowrey, big fan of Music on Vinyl.

Kathleen Edwards new one - Total Freedom.
I've loved her for years and am glad she is back. This is a fine release even if it's not audiophile sound quality. The songwriting is exceptional.

Collective Soul - S/T
25th Anniversary vinyl. I love the album (it takes me back to a very good place) and Craft records makes nice platters.

If you're a fan of blues, you may like this guy. He does some jazz, some rockabilly. He's made a bunch of diddley bows and has a video of playing Voodoo Chile on one. In another vid, he does Skynyrd's Gimme Back My Bullets on a homemade ammo box guitar. The album linked above has a spooky, open sound and some great new takes on older tunes.

CSNY - Deja Vu
I have a Japanese pressing that sounds better than any US version I have heard.

Pneumonia Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson from a compilation CD that came with my 2021 Blues Images calendar. A dozen rare songs "restored from the finest copies of the original 78 rpm records", produced and sold by John Tefteller.
Happy New Year folks!!

There will be more posts than usual from me in this section as I recover from surgery and can't do much but spin vinyl (not such a bad thing over all.)

I trust your surgery went well. Feel better fast.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks guys. I feel a little better each day and expect a full recovery. I just struggle with sitting still, I'm kinda ADHD.

Sorry to hear about your surgery Mark. Prayers for your continued healing!

Sorry to hear about your surgery Mark. Prayers for your continued healing!
It was only a laparoscopic gallbladder removal. I went to the surgeon thinking I was setting something up for the spring but she said it was affecting my pancreas and wouldn't wait. It had waited for two years, but I guess it was time. I am enjoying the down time honestly.

My wife had that done a few yrs back. You'll be much happier once healed.

Currently listening to a like new copy of "Brewing up with Billy Bragg", purchased at Jim's way back. Must be an import as the album cover is very flimsy.
And enjoying some freshly ground and brewed Ethiopian coffee.

Catching up on some vinyl that has been sitting here unopened for awhile...
Best of the Gipsy Kings is spinnin now, Tyler Childers Long Violent History earlier.
In the queue:
Sturgill Simpson - Cuttin Grass vol 1
Allman Brothers - Fillmore West '71
Warrant - Greatest and Latest (laugh all you want, I DID have a mullet in the late 80's/early 90's...also it was the kicker for free shipping)
Listening upstairs in the clean air, just shuffled some equipment around to shake things up.
NAD 7100, Dual 721, AT OC9/III, JBL 4311b monitors

I played the Sturg yesterday. Good stuff. ATM I am playing a Japan pressing of The Wild Heart by Stevie Nicks. Will be following it with Tom Petty Best of Everything.
-
Currently listening to Shirley Horn "I remember Miles" CD, one of the hundreds of Verve CDs I have been preparing for sale over on the Hoffman forum. This one won a Grammy in the late 90s. I have been listening to a lot of jazz vocalists singing standards and learning the lyrics to all these tunes from the "American Songbook". It has made it easier to remember the melody to the tunes while picking along on guitar. Plus, there are so many great stories in the songs.
Stay warm out there!!

Warrant - Greatest and Latest (laugh all you want, I DID have a mullet in the late 80's/early 90's...also it was the kicker for free shipping)
Anyone want a gently used Warrant record??? Worst vinyl purchase I've made by a country mile. Sometimes you should look closer before buying. As I'm listening I'm thinking this is NOT the Warrant I recall. I wasn't a big fan, didn't own any of their music in any format. This is from Discogs:
Greatest & Latest is a music album by American rock band Warrant originally released in 1999. The album features new recorded studio versions of their (greatest) material. It also features three previously unreleased (latest) songs "The Jones", "Southern Comfort", and "Bad Tattoo".
The album was re released twice in 2004 under new titles "'Cherry Pie all the Hitz 'n' More" and the import version "Most Wanted" with slightly different track lists to the original.
The album features new versions of Warrant's biggest hit singles Heaven which peaked at number 2 on The Billboard Hot 100 and Cherry Pie which peaked at #10.[2] The re-recorded "Heaven" and "Cherry Pie" were released as promo and later iTunes singles[3] and were also released on several mixed compilation albums. In 2004 Jani Lane re-recorded acoustic versions of "Cherry Pie" and "Heaven" which featured on the "VH1 Classic Metal Mania: Stripped" compilations.
"Heaven" was also used in Tool Academy's series finale, and was covered by American punk band New Found Glory on the compilation album Punk Goes Metal.

The acute accents in the name must have confused the forum software. Regardless, I watched The Buena Vista Social Club last night. Been a long time since I saw it last, got on youtube this morning digging deeper into some of the artists.

I've been sorting through a dozen years of vinyl purchases, separating keepers from flippers. I had four copies of Hotel California and I just cleaned the best looking one. Sterling and Specialty both sides and it is literally just like new. Even Wasted Time, with it's very quiet passages is absolutely perfect. We all love our MFSLs and Tone Poets, but it's just amazing how great a non-descript buck bin piece of vinyl can sound. Who needs audiophile?
-
I have a good original copy of Hotel California but I have a DCC re-issue of greatest hits.
I love my direct to disc records. They are so dynamic. Very few CDs are as dynamic.
-
Right now, I'm listening and watching Jorma live from the Fur Peace Ranch on Youtube. The latest of almost a years worth of live broadcasts every Saturday night at 8PM. Check it out if you like acoustic blues....

And speaking of vinyl, while en route to Burgatory Murrysville to procure dinner Friday night, I stopped by STal's lGoodwill and stumbled across a near-mint 3LP Concert for Bangla-Desh. Not a mark on any of the six sides or the booklet. It must have been put out near the end of the day as it was on the shelf in plain view, and traffic must have been very light due to the cold weather.
And it gets better......it was only .49 due to an unknown-to-me 50% off promotion (which I though was only at the Penn Hills store. Either way, I didn't question the price!)
-
Rodi Road? I've never seen a decent slab of vinyl there. That's a score.
-
That was a tongue in cheek reference to the Murrysville store, where we have crossed paths a few times and you scooped that jazz score a couple years back
I was very happy to get the Bangladesh, as I did not have the vinyl, and it has a whole side of vintage 'I'd like to bring on a friend of us all..Mister Bob Dylan."
-
Lake Street Dive - Obviously
This album is really enjoyable with a sort of 70s "yacht rock" vibe. Everybody focuses on the pretty redhead in front, but as usual the bassist Bridget is the one really driving the band. She is spectacular!
-
Minus 5 - Down with Wilco
then
Wilco - Being There
-
The Emotions - Rejoice!
A forgotten 70s classic. Basically an Earth, Wind and Fire album with chick singers.
-
Eno - Another Green World
-
J Geils Band - The Morning After
The recent MFSL vinyl reissue. Killer performance. Killer sound.
-
Soundtrack - Falling from Grace (JC Mellencamp, etc.)
Never on vinyl in the US (and unlikely to ever be), I got this from Holland. Ain't the internet grand?
-
Drive By Truckers - The Unraveling
DBT would have been huge in the 70s.
-
Black Pumas. Bought the one year deluxe after they won the Grammy. This is seriously excellent stuff.
-
Just finished Black Uhuru "Brutal" and moved to a mellower
Buffalo Springfield "Last Time Around", from a recent 300+
collection purchase.
Thanks and a tip of the hat to RGPIT for the reference
-
First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar
I will always get you top dollar for your collections.
-
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming....
Next up after "On the Beach" by the Neil-er and "Brother and Sisters" by Allmans is "Rubycon" by Tangerine Dream.
Sounding good on the Canton CT800s

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Catwalk by Emily Remler

?Uncle Meat?, The Mothers of Invention
-
Donny Hathaway - Live
There is a 180 gram reissue for RSD and I couldn't remember the condition of this album. I had one that was beat then I got this one as an upgrade. But I couldn't remember how much of an upgrade. This has some clicks, but good enough that I think I can save $27 or whatever the new one sells for.
-
Muddy Waters - At Newport 1960
-
Warren Zevon - Preludes
I've had a lot of vinyl issues of items from the CD era, but this is the first time I have seen the jewel box booklet exactly reproduced to 12" scale. The only differences is that it is much heavier gloss paper and it is square bound instead of stapled. The powder blue vinyl is beautiful and sounds great. This is an impressive RSD effort. Sometimes these are cynical cash grabs but this was obviously a labor of love.
-
Carole King - Tapestry
The Classic Records reissue
The Classic Records pressings of this album were cut from the master tapes by Bernie Grundman. All other LP issues (including the CBS 1/2 speed master) were cut from EQ'd production copies. The bass guitar, which originally just blended in with the rest of the music, is now clear and omnipresent in the foreground. You can hear and feel every note as if you're sitting right in front of the amp. It literally jumps out at you.
-
AC⚡DC - Back In Black
The Robert Ludwig cut. It's just that kind of night.
-
Bowie
"Pin Ups" side 1
-
Pulp - Different Class
I got tired of looking for the pricey original so I gave it and got the 2016 reissue on an Import CD 20% off sale. It sounds fine to me even though some of the Discogs comments panned it.
-
Really surprisingly great sounding album. I guess you don't always have to have APs or Tone Poets to get quality.

Stones Tattoo You
Playing a rough copy that I listed cheap. This is actually a better album than I had remembered. Little T&A was such a Spinal Tap track that I never took the album seriously, but it actually has quite a few strong spots. It's also amazing how decent beat up vinyl can sound sometimes.
-
Deja Vu Alternates
Believe the hype.
-
Billy Idol's first two albums. I found them at the thrift. They actually hold up better than I expected.
-
I have a copy of "Rebel Yell' here but I am saving it until I buy some Rebel bourbon to go along with it.
Currently listening to 'Meditations for Piano' by Borah Bergman (Tzadik) Nice music for the morning.
-
Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily
I finally got a hold of the vinyl. I've read so many rave reviews that maybe my expectations were a bit too high. It's very clear and articulate, but I would like a little more slam on the kick drum.
-
Kathleen Edwards - Back to Me.
If any of you guys are fans, she announced pre orders of her first album, Failer, today. It was the only one I didn't have (because it was never issued on vinyl) and I couldn't be more excited!
https://stores.portmerch.com/kathleenedwards/pre-order-failer.html (https://stores.portmerch.com/kathleenedwards/pre-order-failer.html)
She's so friggin' great.

Billy Bragg and Wilco - Mermaid Avenue
It seems that out of nowhere some copies of the 2013 vinyl showed up in a warehouse. I've almost bought this for $80 more than once. I was thrilled to get it from Plaid Room for $35 new.
-
The Glyn Johns Get Back from the new Let it Be box. I had a bootleg of it years ago, it's nice to hear it sounding better than it ever did.
-
Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
She doesn't seem so unusual now, but the music still holds up.
-
Joe Pass - For Django (BN Tone Poet series).
I had a few of Joe's comeback albums, but never any of the recordings he made as a young man. This is sublime.
-
That's one I bought at Heads Together way back. Blue Note reissue series in the mid 70s.
As an aside, those receipts from Tone Poet and other higher priced purchases might be helpful in the future.....

Are the receipts in reference to the new $600 tax on selling? If I recall you're the tax man round these parts. I recently bought an amp that's not going to work out and I plan to sell it. Seems unfair (ha, 'unfair' with regards to taxes!) A friend said I can avoid the tax if I have a receipt. I imagine it will become more apparent next season, but I'm fairly clueless as to how the whole thing works.
-
Yes, Scorp. That was the reference. I am presuming that people will be getting 'aggressively creative' with deductions used to offset any 'business-related' income that they will have to declare from the 1099s they get from Paypal, Ebay and the other players in the event their yearly sales exceed $600. I definitely will be saving any receipts from Record Store Day, in the event I sell a purchase I don't fall in love with and sell later.
As far as what's 'fair' in dis here life, that's a debate for another time!!!!

"People" will very likely do that. I will maintain my integrity. It's a non-taxable commodity.

A better album than I remembered.

I'm sorting through about a dozen years of purchases that I've never dealt with. I had four copies of BOTR and literally each one had one strongest part. One had nm double Wally vinyl, one had a really clean jacket in shrink with the hype sticker, one had a nice poster and one had a nice inner. Between them all I put together one killer copy. Yes, all on Apple, I'm not mixing different issues.
-
Jon Batiste - We Are
I can see why it won album of the year. It has a flow like old school albums in a day where singles so much seem to be the focus.
-
Chris Stapleton - Starting Over
Who said Southern Rock is dead?

Great album, however Maggie's Song hits a bit close and gets me every time.
-
Tom Petty - Wildflowers and All the Rest

Blues Traveler - Four

Chet Baker and Strings - an exceptionally clean first from 1954 I found at the thrift. The charts are a bit dull for my tastes but my wife is liking it a lot.

Found this very interesting album at HPB the other day.... it's called 'Round Midnight. It is 6 artists, separately, playing the same Thelonious Monk song called 'round midnight. The album starts off with Monk, then Miles, Stan Getz, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, Art Pepper, and lastly Ron Carter. Pretty cool... you'd never recognize it's the same song with a few of them. 1986 Milestone Records
