Whats on your turntable tonight?

I pulled out my old copy of Jade Warrior "Floating Worlds". I don't think I've played it in 20 years. It's got surprising dynamics and a really deep soundstage. Some nice melodies and rythms too.

I also scored 3 albums from Modern Jazz Quartet on ebay last week - 3 albums for $8 including shipping. They're all mint and sound great - "Under the Jasmine Tree", "Best of MJQ"; "Live at the Lighthouse". what a deal.

Finally Bert Jansch "Rosemary Lane" also an excellent recording, and great music all through.

Joe Cocker- Try With A Little help From My Friends, The Letter
Santana- !st Lp
Marvin Gaye
Thelonius Monk

After a spur-of-the-moment Saturday evening run to Princeton Record Exchange with fellow Agoner Sbank, we made off with some goodies. The "new arrivals" bins were full of good stuff, and we also picked up some nice recordings from the $1.00/record classical bins on the floor. Here is a sample of what I played this evening from last nights haul:
Handel "Water Music" Van Beinum/Concertgebouw Orchestra (Philips 6570 171)
Mussorgsky "Pictures At An Exhibition" (original score for piano) Michel Beroff (Angel S-37223)
Barber "Adagio for Strings" Marriner/Academy Of St. Martins-In-The-Fields (Argo ZRG 845)
Joni Mitchell "Miles Of Aisles" (Asylum AB 202)
Rickie Lee Jones "Rickie Lee Jones" (Warner Bros. BSK 3295)

Aretha in Paris- FANTASTIC ALBUM. I consider it in the top 5 Lps in my 1000+ collection. I always wondered what she sounded like live when she could still belt out her vocals, singing those great hits of hers (and others). Recorded in May, 1968, it was her first European tour and the crowd treats her with the love and admiration she deserves. Her voice and the vocals are strong, the recording is superb! On my Lenco, this is an all time hit. It does have a bad skip on one of the songs, I know there is nothing we can do about it, but if you have any ideas...my ears are open.
BTW, I paid 2.00 for this.
Cheers!

sundays and the beatles go soooo welll, meet the beatles, abby road,
