Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw, speaking of Let It Be Naked, word is the upcoming reissue of All Thinks Must Pass will also be free of Spector’s overdone echo & reverb.

As a big Harrison fan, I would love hearing that. It’s easier now with a better system, but I remember listing to that album back in the 70’s (a lot) with a much lesser one, and it really sounded all smashed up into a big sound fur ball.

Gillian Welch
The Harrow & The Harvest

This does not sound anything like a furball - more like melted butter really.  

“The Great Destroyer lives in every man”

Tschaikowski
Sinfonie Nr. 6 h-moll op. 74
Berliner Sinfonie-Orchester
Kurt Sanderling

a recent ebay purchase from Germany from whence I’ve had good results but this, although appearing perfect, is one of the scratchiest records I’ve ever heard.  Worse even than my grandparents’ 78s.  Not certain if this record ever sounded good, don’t know this label, it’s hooded and muddy besides the tics, maybe double damage.  It’s a shame because it’s such good music and this issue has a really nice cover.   Will research to find a better issue for the ‘Pathétique’.   Please let me know if anyone here knows a good one.  @bkeske, do you have a favorite recording of Tschaikowski’s 6th Brian?

Neville Marriner and the 
Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Beethoven
Symphony No. 1

unbelievable sq! Especially the dynamics. On a $3 record....
