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
Had a bright idea...going to play an lp I picked up last weekend.....Allman Brothers Band "Fillmore East  (Feb 1970)" Bear's sonic journal. One year earlier than the lp above. Same venue.
Regarding The Allman Brothers comparison.....

The 1970 version starts off with "In Memory of Elizabeth Reid".... it’s obvious that the band hasn’t found their groove yet. Thinking about it....it’s pretty amazing that they sounded sooo much better on the later lp, like a couple of years had gone by instead of several months.

The sonics aren’t as good. Let me rephrase that....there is a different microphone set-up, the soundstage is narrower. A completely different set-up for sure. It doesn’t sound awful, just not nearly as good. "Statesboro Blues"...bass is AWAL.
@slaw - I thought you already had a proper record flattener. No? What did you have and what did you get?

BTW, I do not have a record flattener. I don't have many records in need. However, I did buy 2 copies of Kraftwerk - "Autobahn" from Insound that both came with edge warp, brand new out of the shrink......
