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
The Larry Page Orchestra Arranged By Ray Davies - "Kinky Music" [Rhino repro LP '83, orig. '65] Never released in US at the time, strictly for dancing fun but audaciously early in the band's career for an affair of this kind, the newest tune on the disk being the contemporaneous hit single "Tired Of Waiting For You" (and even stretching back to their earliest non-album single for "I Took My Baby Home")
The Sentinals - "Surfer Girl" [Del Fi repro LP '96, orig. '63]
Willie Mitchell - "The Hit Sound Of Willie Mitchell" [Hi LP '67]
Ray Bryant - "Lonesome Traveler" [Cadet LP '66] The followup to the classic "Gotta Travel On" album, reprising the same winning formula (right down to the title allusion) with the dual flugelhorns of Clark Terry and Snookie Young once again fronting the trio
Pete Rugolo - "Percussion At Work" [Mercury LP '57] Early stereo sound spectacular in a non-classical vein, featuring Andre Previn and Shelly Manne, the SR # is but a mere 80003
Bobby Bland - "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" [MCA reissue LP '84, orig. Duke '64]
Nina Simone - "The High Priestess Of Soul" [Philips LP '67]
The Ramsey Lewis Trio - "Upendo Ni Pamoja" [Columbia LP '72]
Sun Ra - "The Magic City" [ABC/Impulse LP '73, rec. '60]
Skeeter Davis & NRBQ - "She Sings, They Play" [Rounder LP '85]
George Abdo & His Flames Of Araby Orchestra - "The Art Of Belly Dancing" [Monitor LP '73] Belly dancing instructions enclosed!
Sabicas - "Volume III" [Elektra LP '6?]
Vijay Raghav Rao - "Flute" [Tower LP '69]
The Gil Evans Orchestra - "Plays The Music Of Jimi Hendrix" [Bluebird CD '02, orig. RCA '74]
Listening to some new acquisitions tonight:
