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

Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass "Take Love Easy"

Analog Productions/Pablo series

Supertramp - "Brother Where You Bound"

My current reference record for testing my LP playback chain.  

So there’s a a 50th anniversary release of Badfinger’s Head First album.  It was out  12/13/2024 and I can’t find it anywhere. All sources are out of stock and it’s not on any of the streaming services. 
 

Anyone hear what’s going on?

Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops-Fabulous Broadway Side 1 SQ*

Rush-Exit...Stage Left Side 4

Carpenters-A Kind Of Hush Side 2 SQ*

Head East-Flat As A Pancake Side 1

Anita Baker-Giving You The Best That I Got Side 2 SQ*

South Pacific-Kanawa/Carreras(SM 42205) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Malo-Dos Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Jackie Cain And Roy Kral-Concerts by the Sea Side B SQ Audiophile

With 3 Audiophile SQ and 3 SQ*(near miss) makes for a well above average SQ night. With 4 unolayed discs Malo 2 was the standout  Hush is a very solid Carpenter album that might get overlooked, Kanawa/Carreas make the cut but Fieldler has to go! Very tough Audiophile crown pick since none are demo level. The all digital South Pacific takes the crown due to its balance. With 4 unplayed LP's tonight brings my played total to 13 this year with about 75? left. Would like to close out this project by late April. 

Mary Chapin Carpenter "The Dirt and The Stars"

Thers one in every crowd. 

Best version of The Sky is Crying in my opinion.  Great LP

Peter, Paul And Mary-Album 1700 Side 1

Joanne Brackeen-AFT Side B SQ Audiophile

Foreigner-4 Side 1

Wynton Marsalis-J Mood Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Ratt-Invasion Of Your Privacy Side 1

Mozart-Exsultate, Jubilate(Edith Mathis) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Richie Cole-Keeper Of The Flame Side B SQ*

George Shearing/Mel Torme-Top Drawer(CJ 219) Side 1 SQ*

Hard to believe the ubiquitous Foreigner 4 was the only unplayed album! Ms. Brackeen edges out an excellent all digital Marsalis recording for the SQ crown. RIP Peter Yarrow.
