Last listen for the night before retiring. Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, "Love Devotion Surrender". Nice! 

@big_greg, I tell you what, sometimes I put that Red Octopus album on and it just doesn't stop playing for hours. It really is fantastic and under-appreciated. 

The Claypool Lennon Delirium, "Lime and Limpid Green". Neat little EP. Their version of "The Court of the Crimson King" is pretty stellar. 

Burgers by Hot Tuna. Simply fantastic album recording. Water Song is the pinnacle but Sunny Day Strut is probably better. The whole album just works and flows seamlessly. It really is a wonderful production. I also just love the album art and the photograph on the back side. It just reflects happiness in the moment of a wonderful era. 

The Claypool Lennon Delerium, "Lime and Limpid Green". @ Bsion, "Whale Meat Again" is just a fantastic spin. I dig it every time it goes on.

At this moment in time, Van Der Graaf Generator, The Aerosol Grey Machine. Thinking either Can or Bowie next. 

Caravan, "Blind Dog at St. Duntans". Come on Back/OIK (Reprise) is beyond beautiful. Simply perfect. I'm in love at this moment in time.

@boxer12, I think I moved 7 times between college and now.  Put them away and always brought them with me.  Wasn't until I had a decent system up and running that did I think about them again.  Bought a basic Sony deck at a Goodwill and realized how much I loved those tapes.  So wonderful.  Not only do they sound better than they did in college (Teac system at the time), they also rekindled that feeling.  Anyways to keep in the turntable frame of mind, listening to GD Cornell 77 on vinyl.  Incredible show. Just imagine being there.  I would have been 9 yo so not possible at that time in my life.  Probably the "Holy Grail" of GD shows.  I remember in college that everyone was always trying to find the best cassette recording of that show.
Got a bunch of my Dead bootlegs on those Sonys.  Awesome cassettes.  Well really not bootlegs but you get my point.  Tonight got on Tool "Aenima".  I am not a metal head but there is something about Tool.  Their rhythm is hypnotic even for how hard it is compared to my normal listening.
On a limited selection right now due to various COVID related reasons but listening to a 2016 Sony release of Pink Floyd's Final Cut and it is just beautiful.  Blows away the CD.  Not even close.  Can't get enough of it at this moment in time. This moment in time could be a different moment in time tomorrow. Have replayed multiple tracks multiple times. 
Came home from a long day at the big house. The Pink seemed appropriate. Going from most recent to earliest. Down to Atom Heart Mother right now. Starts at The Final Cut because that is where The Pink ceased to exist.
Now, I just put on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Collection. I had no intention of buying it but my local record store guy is hurting and it was there so I said what the heck. I would have to say I am impressed for a new release. Crystal clear. Doesn't sound compressed at all. Happy with the purchase. My 2 cents.
