Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw     "Wide Awake" by Quinn Sullivan has a Strong Pop/Rock feel with a splash of Blues. My version is a 180-gram turquoise vinyl that had the optional warp in the pressing. All jokes aside it’s a worthy recording that deserves a space on my crowded record shelf. FWIW my sealed albums had reached 111 until I opened "Wide Awake" and Emile Sande-"Real Life". Approaching the 6 year mark of playing my complete vinyl collection and still have a couple dozen unsealed albums left.

The Third Mind / Live Mind
2024 Yep Rock

Really liking this band, fun double LP

Fleetwood Mac / Bare Trees
2025 Rhino ‘Reserve’ RE, orig. 1972

I’m usually a fan of Rhino’s reissues but this is no more engaging than my original pressing, which lacked the realism and fidelity that we all wish for. Reminds me of playing it (done many times) on a 70’s 8 track cassette car stereo. A better job on Future Games though.

Steely Dan / Can’t Buy A Thrill
1972 ABC

This checks the boxes that Bare Trees missed

@bslon, @faustuss, great respect for your taste and i’m almost always on board with your picks, but you lost me with the doors’ "soft parade", which i’ve always regarded as the least of their records, mainly because the  title track is terrible + the lyrics to otherwise very tuneful songs like "tell all the people" and "wishful sinful" seem horribly underbaked/sophmoric. for me the doors recorded legacy had the odd arc of starting out great, gradually dipping in quality, then rebounding and finishing with a bang--sort of a reverse v shaped-graph.
