Whats on your turntable tonight?

Really? 

Georges Bizet
Symphony No. 1 in C
Charles Munch and the RP

Bizet’s first symphony and certainly one of my favorite pieces of ballet music. I was lucky enough to see the ballet of the same name, made by Balanchine, at ABT in New York during the Regan years.

So, what were you doing at age 17? Bizet made this for a school project. 

This 1964 record doesn’t have a pop click or any surface noise at all. Sweet sweet sweet.

Art Blakey
Moanin’
Blue Note (reissue)

Say, has anyone purchased a Music Matters SRX issue of this or any other SRX title?   I’m interested in hearing actual listener opinions about them.  I mean 80 bucks for a new record... are they as good as the Mofi one steps?

Albert King
Blues for Elvis
King Does the King’s Things
Stax (80’s reissue of a 1969? Curiosity)

whoa! This will get your blood flowing baby.  

Been listening to my hi-fi, of course.  Just not listing the LPs here for a while.  Yesterday was a few nice ones.

Joni Mitchel, 'Blue'  Reprise Records reissue.  Nicely done!
The Beach Boys, 'Surf's Up'  Analog Productions and QRP pressing.  Excellent SQ!
Stanley Clarke, 'School Days'  Friday Music reissue, RTI pressing.  I have an original pressing of this album and while the SQ is great the vinyl quality had a lot of noise.  It's a favorite of mine, so, I pre-ordered the reissue and it finally arrived.  The vinyl is excellent and SQ is really, really good.  I think the mastering found some fine details that I had never heard before on my original pressing.  But, I also found that in the mastering they cut off some of the lowest frequencies in a few musical areas that are present on my original.  Too bad for that.  Otherwise, the SQ is superb and very revealing of the finest in detail with perfect placement (not too far forward, not far back, just right!).  If you are a Stanley Clark fan this is a very worthy add to your collection.
