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
My impressions so far: I'm listening in order of release......

"Armchair..." doesn’t hold up as well, additionally, the SQ is dark by comparison.

Up next will be "Noble Beast" going forward......
Well, "Noble Beast" is of really good SQ, (IMO), it just doesn’t hold up to my past memory of it.

Maybe seeing AB live, which is why I'm doing this comparison, in part because I have a chance to see him tomorrow, would change my perception?
"Break It Yourself" has a wonderful balance and easily outclasses the previous lps in terms of SQ. "Eggs" would be next. I'm getting into this one!
On "Are You Serious", AB made a much needed shift from his previous records. This one is more in tune with the current musical landscape. SQ is VERY good.
