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
Yes we have no Famous Blue Raincoats today (nor will we ever ;^)

Buffalo Springfield - "Last Time Around" [Atco '68] Not a real big BS fan, or Steven Stills generally -- just Neil Young, but there's hardly any of him on this one
Antonio Carlos Jobim - "A Certain Mr. Jobim" [WB '67]
Frank Sinatra - "Sinatra & Strings" [Reprise '62]
Kenny Burrell - "Bluesin' Around" [Columbia '83, rec. '61-'62] Previously unreleased, but these John Hammond-produced sides are so smokin' there's no understanding why -- apparently the only thing released at the time from the guitarist's brief stint on the label was a vocal album (!) which unsurprisingly didn't sell squat (not that I've ever heard him sing)
Bernard Herrmann - Conducts Jane Eyre & Other Film Scores [London Phase Four, '77]
E: Dunno about "Expecting..." as fave NY period for me, but with BS, maybe so -- certainly the most distinctive (ignoring the production on "Broken Arrow"). "I Am A Child" on that last LP ain't too shabby either however...
Gladys Knight & The Pips - "Tastiest Hits" [Bell '68]
Donald Byrd - "Black Byrd" [UA '73]
Mojo - "Mojo Magic" [GRT '69] AKA The Mojo Men
Baby Cortez - "The Isley Brothers Way" [T-Neck '70]
Spencer Davis Group/Traffic - "Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Bush" sndtrk [UA '68]
"Steel Guitar Favorites" - anonymous/unknown [Somerset '6?]
Mose Allison - "Takes To The Hills" [Epic '6?]
Kenny Drew Trio - "Ruby My Dear" [SteepleChase '80, rec. '77]
Tommy Tutone-Tommy Tutone. Really good spin. I have 3 of their CD's, and their first two on Vinyl. Catchy songs from a truly under rated band. I think we all heard Jenny 8675 a bit to much to take this band seriously, myself included. I got into them a few years ago and like pretty much everything I have heard. Nicely recorded, good Pop Rock (NOT the candy!)sound.
