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
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. 
Starting in on the 2018, The Police studio albums box set. Recorded @ Abbey Road/half speed/ from the original analog masters (supposedly)

"Outlandos d’ Amour"

The lps look beautiful.
Gordon Lightfoot, Sundown, MFSL HSM
Mannhiem Steamroller, Fresh Aire III
Amanda Mcbroom, West of Oz and Growing Up...  Sheffield Lab #13
McCartney, RAM 180g new release
Confederation, Sheffield Lab#9 (pretty good banjo)
A little follow up on my post about the Steely Dan Gaucho record I mentioned in a previous post.

I wrote to Rare Records to express my disappointment and the owner, Charlie Essmeier, wrote back to me. He confirmed that his records are visually graded and offered a full refund, which I will take advantage of. He was very nice about the whole thing and offered some helpful information. He also offered to play grade any records I was interested in. I will give him another chance. It was good customer service on his part.
