Do you play the same records over and over again?

@earthbound

Exactly. I find music I have never heard on my computer throughout the week and then binge them on the main system on the weekend. Some are keepers, some are not. But what an adventure it is for an old retired single person. Usually, it is the well recorded that remain on the play list. With so much to choose from why play poorly recorded material?

There are a handful of LPs that I turn to depending on mood.

When stressed I will play the Sveshnikov Russian recording of the Rachmaninoff "All night vigil".  The Vespers portion of that truly can calm the soul.  Similarly the Ockeghem Requiem.

When I need catharsis - Mahler 2, I have several versions but the Levine CSO is my LP of choice.

In a reflective mood the Mercury Starker cello suites are a frequent choice.

Yes it's called life. Groundhog day. Enjoy the music and life

And rock music is way waaaaay more than just Dire Straits (I listen to them maybe once a year). Brothers in Arms sounds good but there’s plenty of exciting rock that sounds just as good even (sometimes) on the cheap "Club" pressings.

I agree but I think Dire Straits (self titled) is the better than B in A in terms of music and production/SQ (The MOFI OMR is quite good). B in A was one of the first DDD CDs back in the day if I remember correctly, so perhaps the vinyl version isn't quite as good as earlier albums as it was digital all the way.

I have a couple of AP reissues of Bad Company that are pretty great, among others.
