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
TT is “down” currently. Tone arm being serviced. So, a bunch of Pink Floyd tonight off the NAS!
Very nice, lively recording, but the UK Ebay seller was a bit overly generous with his rating. Still, most enjoyable.
Looks pristine. But all kinds of snap, crackle, pop from beginning to end.
May have to break down and get a serious vinyl cleaner or send it out for professional cleaning. My discwasher doesn't phase it.

On Lyrita UK, from 1972:
SIR ARNOLD BAX
Tintagel - The Northern Ballad No. 1
The Garden of Fand - Mediterranean
London Philharmonic Orchestra 
Conducted by Sir Adrian Boult

Beethoven Violinkonzert, Op. 61
Salvatore Accardo
Kurt Masur
Gewandhaus 
Orchester 
Leipzig 

To me this is the finest performance of the Violin Concerto I’ve ever heard.  
Great musical listening session.
Talking Heads, 'Remain In Light'
Steely Dan, 'Gaucho'   Fantastic recording and SQ
Manfred Mann's Earth Band, 'The Roaring Silence'
John Mayall's Blues Breakers, 'Crusade'   That album brings back a lot of memories. I just got this from a Discogs seller and it was rated NM/M-  It certainly is clean & shiny and no visible scratches, but still plenty of surface noise.  My Nitty Gritty just doesn't get records clean to the level that a good ultra sonic cleaning system does.  I need to get one.  Should be by early 2021.
