Whats on your turntable tonight?

The only Leon Russell I've ever had is "Will O' the Wisp."  Thanks for introducing me to more.

@keegiam   I have 'Will O' The Wisp' as well, an original pressing.  It's a very good SQ, at least my copy is.  And the music is one of his very best.  Next, try getting a copy of 'Carney'.  That's a very good album, too.  

@mammothguy54,

Joel, I have the Audio Fidelity, Leon Russell as well. I was disappointed in the SQ on my first listen. I’ll try it again.

FWIW, I bought a copy of "Carney" pressed at QRP years ago and it was full of clicks & pops. Returned it for replacement with the seller agreeing to check out the replacement. I was informed it was defective as well.

Absolutely! Rod was on fire as well as his band. Outstanding! sonics to be sure.

Happy Listening!

I received and played the Melissa Etheridge. DMM version just happened to be at a good price.

Warm up your tubes first, then have at it, it is terrific. Of course my system is far better than 31 years ago when the album was new,  This is a very good condition very noise free copy. Her voice and songs are amazing, and now you hear all the great musicians like never before. I played it loud the first day, got the blood moving, the memories flowing. Today normal decent volume and lower volume just to hear it that way, couldn't be happier.

• Melissa Etheridge – 12 string Ovation acoustic guitar, vocals, production, arranger

• Waddy Wachtel – guitar
• Kevin McCormick – bass guitar, production
• Scott Thurston – keyboards
• Wally Badarou – keyboards
• Craig Krampf – drums, percussion, production, arranger

Well recorded, clear tight imaging, like a small stage band, not spread out on a large stage. Individual instrument distinction easily perceived in no exaggerated way. IOW, you easily listen to the music, not straining to listen to your system.

This one, and my CD version will be good for my comparison of my new Oppo BDP-105 to prior CD player and the CD to the LP.

I wish it existed on Reel to Reel.
