Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
BTW, David Gilmour wrote the song "White City Fighting" and is credited as a musician on the album.

Another day with Martinu, this afternoon it's been his Madrigals for various combinations of violin, viola, piano, flute, oboe, bassoon... with the Dartington Ensemble on Hyperion A66133.
I continue to enjoy reading this thread. I am continually reminded that at the time I bought the recording; each one was great! This thread reminds me to pull them out and listen to them on my current system. Surprisingly, most still sound great and some even better, a few worse than 30 to 40 year old audio memory allows but all bring back great memories .

Wish I had a new Shure V15 type III.
David Oistrakh performing Hindemith's Violin Concerto and Bruch's Scottish Fantasy with Horenstein/LSO on the ORG 45rpm reissue of this great Decca recording.
Ooh, "Chestnut Mare" on Untitled is a great song! I have mixed feelings about this Byrds line-up. Clarence White was a fantastic guitarist, but Gene Parsons (no relation to Gram) was a not-very-good drummer. He over-played like crazy, playing Country music the way many Rock drummer do---too busy.
i agree with bdp on the untitled-era byrds, and untitled is kind of a schizophrenic record--the live sides are vg, but the studio side (chestnut mare notwithstanding) is pretty spotty. its predecessors, "dr. byrd" and "easy rider" actually hold up well, however.
bdp24,

You beat me to it. I was going to post "Chestnut Mare" as today's Tune of the Day. I always loved "Lover of the Bayou" and posted it yesterday.
In addition to the above:

Patricia Barber "Verse" MFSL/45rpm/sides 1&2
Rosanne Cash "River and a Thread" side 1
Rosanne Cash "The Gift"

The Decemberists "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World"
Tift Merritt "Traveling Alone"..side 4 of the 45rpm lp & the 33rpm box
Bow, Wow, Wow - "I Want Candy". The original LP I bought back in 1982. Good Times, Good Times........

"Face the Face" - Pete Townshend - 12" 45 RPM "Single" - Live version of "Face the Face" from the movie - White City on Side A and the studio versions of "Face the Face" and "Hiding Out" on the B side.
reubent,

Love TC. Recently played "Matter of the Heart". Mine, I think is the original pressing? Made in EU. Anyway it sounds fantastic!

cjjeeper,

"Kintsugi" is on of my favorites!
...the lp above should be a listen.  Most people aren't up on Boz's output.
This one has a more blues feel on side one. Side two has a Phillie/soul vibe. To top it off, most was produced by the late Glyn Johns so you know going in, good sound will be there.

Happy Listening!
astro58go,

Agreed. Most people who only know Boz Scaggs from his radio hits don't really know Boz. The hits were OK, and certainly better than much of the stuff from the same era. However, they are a minor portion of his overall output and they weren't my favorites from him.
Just turned system on to do some late night listening and saw the mention of Boz Scaggs so had to drag out my copy of Come On Home, this is not only a great Boz album it is one of the best albums in my collection, guess I will dig another 30 years back and play Boz Scaggs which has the Fenton Robinson penned song Someone Loan Me A Dime with Duane Allman, this album is great.
Dave Mason - "Certified Live". First pressing - Double Live LP. "Certified Live" no studio overdubs. Excellent Album from 1976. Killer performance.....

For lunch today I played side one of Rush's "Hemispheres". What an epic!  
Bob Dylan "Oh Mercy"

Check out, "Everything is Broken"

reubent,

Agreed! Side two, last song is my favorite.
