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

This goes in the "what was I thinking?" pile... I've been buying a lot of MFSL records lately and ordered Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual.  There is some ear candy in among all the 80's production, but her voice... not for me.
I have a pile just like that Greg.... Lol.

The MFSL of Emmylou Harris got thrown in that pile. It's just too country for me to handle even though the SQ is excellent.
Patti Page ‎– Indiscretion (Mercury 1959)

Replaying this NM/NM on my Decca SuperGold after playing it a few days ago on the Garrott Gold. The SG needed a loupe to check a very dirty stylus. I just cleaned it until the diamond gleamed. Holy Ship! What an improvement over the Gold and over the pre-cleaned SG. 

Anyway, another super record from the late 50s proving that we have destroyed the recording process. Vivid, warm, and right. Recommended.
