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

A couple of classic jazz records.

Mingus  -  Ah Um   Music On Vinyl issue, and it is quite good.  Very quiet vinyl.

Miles Davis  -  Kind Of Blue   AP/QRP UHQR  33rpm.  AP really did an outstanding job with reinvigorating the UHQR process.  Pricey, but I hope they do a few more.  This copy is #1,177 and I believe they make 1,000 copies per stamper.  Thus, 177th copy from stamper #2.  My only other UHQR is from the original introduction in the early 1980s which was Mobile Fidelity and JVC (JVC had the vinyl formula and pressing process that was the UHQR technology).  I have a pristine copy of 'I Robot' that I bought when it first released.  I wish that I had bought more of those UHQRs.  I believe they made only 8 titles, and that was it.

My mistake, I also have a UHQR of Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced.  I hope that AP does some more UHQR issues.
