Whats on your turntable tonight?

"Caldera, that’s with Alex Acuña of Weather Report fame, right? Great stuff."
Close! He was guest drummer on Time and Chance. I only have 2 of their albums, the other being eponymous, and he isn’t on that one. I haven’t yet played it because it was a bin purchase and the previous owner seems to have subscribed to the "clean records with 80 grit sandpaper" theory. T+C however I’m on my second copy - I LOVE that album!

Suzanne Vega "An Evening of New York Songs & Stories"  
EU/Cooking Vinyl/2020.

Looking forward to this one because, it's SV and everything I own on Cooking Vinyl sounds great. BTW, after the US clean, I saw nothing in the tank. Very clean lps.

The SV above is wonderful IMO. I own most of her studio lps. They sound great. This live lp from Cafe' Carlyle in NYC is warm and intimate. Sounds very analog to me. Comparing this one to her studio lps may be kind of like going from solid state amp/s to tube amp/s.

Recommended, wonderful!

"Signs" again after it's first US clean.

BTW, another lp I got in is Calexico "Hot Rail". I changed my cleaning procedure to preclude presteaming on every lp to just those that looked to need it. After it's US clean, one side had what looked like plasticizer had leached onto the vinyl. I've seen this before. I steamed that side and that cured it.

Will be on later.
