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

On the Cher lp…. I bought it partly because Sonny & Cher were part of my growing up and I never heard this record before. In addition, the address, is that of the famous Muscle Shoals studio. There is a lot of historical significance in that for me.

On "I Walk On Guilded Splinters"...... listening to Cher sing it, I swear she sounds quite a lot like Joan Osborne. Cher’s voice here is much deeper than the current Cher. I think I like her voice better here.

Finished side one which is in stereo. SQ = EX.
The mono lp of Cher sounds good to me through my Sussurro w/ mono switch engaged.
…………………………..
Mercury Rev  "Bobby Gentry's  The Delta Sweete Revisted"
I have been looking forward to hearing the Mercury Rev lp. Wasn't quite sure of what to expect though. The SQ = EX with major atmospherics/air.
As a piece of music/art, I'd say it has to be on a best of 2019 list.
