Whats on your turntable tonight?

I certainly hear that about "the ever present danger".  I gave up offshore fishing for the summer and this far have not had a ski day this season.
Definitely playing music!

Tim Weisberg "Night Rider"

Fleetwood Mac "Then Play On"  I have an early pressing from around 1973 this is in perfect condition.  The music is phenomenal, the SQ is very good, but the vinyl is quite noisy.  I hope that a US cleaning will solve that issue.  

Yes "Fragile" Mobile Fidelity 45 RPM One -Step.  Just got this copy and WOW, it's fantastic!  By far the highest grade of vinyl quality.  And what an awesome album of music.  I must have loaned out my original copy many years ago and not have gotten it back.  Glad to have this new issue.  Really, very impressive.

@noromance,

First, thanks for reminding me of the Maggie Bell album. Albums that are quiet are SO much more enjoyable. I lucked up on my copy over 25 years ago as it looks unplayed and it sounds unplayed for a 45 year old record. Your Janis comparison is noted but Janis is more raw and gutterly, whereas Maggie is a little more refined. Anyhow, the music is great, SQ is great. Recommended!!

@mammothguy54,

Is your "Then Play On" a UK? The UK had "Oh Well" on it. I bought their remastered boxes last year and they sound great!

Of course if you want to pay $50 + for the recent remaster, it has it or you can go for the box at way less than $50 per lp.

I don't believe it is UK, but I could be wrong.  I see 30,971 RE1 so it must be a reissue and probably a high number on the pressing.  No wonder all of the vinyl noise.  However, it does have "Oh Well" and in fact that is the reason I bought it back in 1973 or so.  It's a great album as is "Kiln House".  I really like that early era Fleetwood Mac.  I saw them in concert during that era, it was excellent!  Again, I am hoping that a heavy setting US cleaning will help with the vinyl noise issue.  I hope to have a US machine before the end of this first Quarter.
