Whats on your turntable tonight?

I have been listening to SO MANY different LP's in the last week, I haven't had the gumption to post them here.

I am in the middle of an audition of a pair of Wolcott P220 tube amps I am contemplating adding to my system.

Last night:
Chopin "Les Sylphides" von Karajan/Berliner (Deutsche Grammophon 136 257)
Holst "Savitri - A Chamber Opera in One Act" Imogen Holst/English Chamber Orchestra/Purcell Singers (Argo ZNF 6)
Eva Cassidy "Songbird" (S&P-501 180g)
Pink Floyd "DSOTM" (Harvest SHVL 804 30th Anniversary reissue)

CD:
Pink Floyd "Division Bell"
Jerry Douglas "Look Out For Hope"
Sanjay Mishra/Jerry Garcia "Blue Incantation"

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus
Ormandy/Philly Orch - "Virtuosi" An ole 6-eye LP that gives a few soloists a chance to showoff. Fun record. Milhaud's Concerto for Percusion & Small Orch" is really cool.
Glenn Gould, Bernstein / Columbia Sym Orch Concerto No.2 in B Flat, Bach:Concerto No.1 in Dminor
David Bowie - Pinups (Simply Vinyl)
Bach - Klemperer/Pro Musica Chamber Orch Brandenburg Concertos Complete
Daniel Lanois - Shine
Lyle Lovett - Pontiac (yikes, a digital LP!)
Bill Evans - Quintessance

Handel - Concertos Pour Orgue et Orch Vol.2

No Undertones Lps here, but the Feargal Sharkey CD is heading to the car next...Cheers,

Dire Straits...SRM1-1197 1978 Murcury. Played it twice!

'Dire Straits'. I like to describe it as "guitarchitecture". Knopfler and crew were absolute mavericks putting out an album like this considering some of the crap that was out at that time. I just could not get over the range in Knopflers guitar work from start to finish on this album. Besides the usual suspects, I really enjoy the slide work on 'Water of Love'. The 'Communique' album is no slouch either, could never get into 'Lady Writer' though. The early Straits will always be my favorite Sraits.

I agree about Dire Straits. I don't own their records or listen to them now, but at the time, when I was in junior high school, the guitar work was a real ear-opener. I still know the solo to "Sultans Of Swing" in my sleep, the learning of which was a big step forward in my playing.
