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
It is on my to-buy list but I was wondering if anyone has/plays Yma Sumak LPs? I have some CDs in my collection but the sound is a bit too "processed" compared to my cassette from the Golden Age. Should I go for the original LPs or recent 180g reissues? million thanks!!!
I LOVE Self Portrait! I did when it was released, amused (and not surprised) that the Rolling Stone-type reviewers didn't get it. I was surprised by Dylan's literalness in the album title, literalness not something he's prone to. I find it to provide a fascinating look into his influences and tastes. Full of great songs, musicians, and singing. Some of it is heartfelt, some slyly tongue-in-cheek (The Boxer?!).
@bdp24 - I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Self Portrait. I received it as a gift from my wife in a small lot of records she bought at an auction. I wasn't familiar with it and did a Google Search before listening to it. Interesting read about the album on Wiki. I did enjoy it on first listen. Enough that I'll give it another spin soon.
Oh man, I love Planet Waves, one of my favorite Dylans. Live in the studio, with very little electronic effects (reverb in particular---the recording is very "dry"). After the album was done in early '74, they hit road for a two-month tour, their first together since '66 (The Band at the time known as The Hawks).
@bdp24 - Perfect Waves was very good, really fantastic. I've always liked the slow version of "Forever Young" and every other cut on the album was also enjoyable. This record will go into my regular rotation.....
Lee Moses - "Time and Place" - Wow, fantastic funk/soul/R&B record from 1971. Heard it playing in my LRS today when I stopped in to check the newly stocked used record bins. Unfortunately clean originals are hundreds of dollars, but it's been recently reissued. I bought the reissue......
Elvis Costello and the Attractions - "Imperial Bedroom" - In prep for seeing the Elvis Costello and the Attractions "Imperial Bedroom and Other Chambers" tour in July.
Fantastic Nick Lowe song, reubent. He has a bunch of 'em! Los Straitjackets have a new album entitled What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Los Straitjackets. The entire album is they performing Nick Lowe songs. LS have been serving as Nick's touring band for a few years now.
@bdp24 - I love Nick Lowe and I've always like the whole "The Rose of England" album. I just saw Nick Lowe a few months ago, but it was a solo show. Really fantastic. Would love to see him backed by Los Straight Jackets. BTW, I just missed Loss Straight Jackets as the backing band for Marshall Crenshaw at a local show last week :~(
Elizium by Fields of the Nephilim. As an incurable PF and Steven Wilson fan I mentioned this masterpiece more than once... only to realize that I do not have an original LP. Received it today, after a thorough wash thru VPI16.5 it got played on my Naim-ed Sondek. Wow!!! And Wow again! Just wish I spent extra $20 for a Mint copy on Discogs. but as they say, cheap-skaters pay twice ;-(
Neil Young "White Line" LInk Wray "Batman Theme" REM "How the West Was Won and Where it Got Us" Warren Zevon "Reconsider Me" Joy Division "Shadowplay" Little Feat "Cajun Girl"
