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

Side 2 of both lps: (Although I didn’t mention it earlier, the OP has a really wide ss as well), it’s just that the CR lp exceeds it.
I swear I did not adjust the volume.......side 2 on the OP kind of explodes out in the room as if I’d turned it up. It’s almost like side 1 was from a generations’ earlier stamper than side 2? The ss width is no longer. The SQ is very good,although no deep bass.
The CR lp didn’t have that aforementioned explosive effect. The same output level as side 1. The low bass has returned as has the wider ss.
Although the CR lp, is IMO the superior version, I would not want to have to choose one over the other and for such an iconic/historical record, I’m glad to own both.

I think I'll re-evaluate the CSN (couch lps) later as well. It was fun!
Pink Floyd - The Wall. (Harvest UK original)
Haven't played it in decades. Sounds great. Holophonic.

Roger Waters - When The Wind Blows (Virgin 1986)
Buy. Listen. Watch movie. Vote for an anti-war liberal.
