Whats on your turntable tonight?

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.

I heard this Canadian Duo on Pandora, ordered LP We Fall In

I could count the words I could understand on one hand, It sucks. 

I'm gonna have my wife and another friend listen, see if I went deaf overnight, then complain like hell.

@loomisjohnson I’m glad to see that you’re still around.
Your comments on Soft Parade are shared by many who feel it was The Doors’ weakest effort…even though it had 4 singles. But that led to criticism of them going “mainstream”. The horrors! 😁
I like their first 4 albums best, and this one for the strings and horns. And I could listen to “Wishful Sinful” all day long.
What also figures in is I (we) played it a lot back in the day, and the people in those memories hold a special place in my heart. That’s a big reason I love playing these old records, they can bring a wonderful feeling.
Take care and Happy Trails brother!
