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

Recorded in 1973 and pressed by JVC Mastering Center. Bass and Cello have unbelievable inner detail. This two record set is well worth the outlay. Now, I need to find my copy of Midnight Sugar.

I also have ripped the Blow Up CD ( purchased prior to discovering the 45RPM) to my streamer and the CD sounds great, but lacks the last bit of inner detail, space and musicality, but that’s on my system. Great Japanese jazz..great jazz..

Isao Suzuki died of/with Covid in 2022.

Decided to mount my mono cartridge, as my mono LP’s are begging to be played.
