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
Sufjan Stevens - invites you to: Come on feel the ILLINOISE

Bill Evans / Jim Hall - Undercurrent 
@boxer12  +1 Magnetic Fields

Expect the unexpected whenever Stephin Merritt is on the turntable.

Kind of sad that "Wayward Bus" was the last album Susan Anway would do lead vocals.
@flennon  Do you use an ultrasonic cleaner on your records?

Lately, I've been bringing lots of 30~40 year old records out of hiding.  A ride through the ultrasonic cleaner makes them nearly as quiet as contemporary records. 

Remarkable how good 40+ year old vinyl can sound when cleaned up.

I was blown away listening to Patti Smith's "Easter" (released in 1978) after a through cleaning.  I'd forgotten how good the recording and mixing were. 

As I mentioned earlier, I don't actually use the Sugar Cube to eliminate pops and clicks while listening to vinyl.  I use it mostly to speed up creation of digital files, editing track breaks and output.
