Whats on your turntable tonight?

Or Phish 

Stopped into my favorite LRS today to find about 8 boxes of recently acquired  vinyl just inside the back door:

 “Mike I know you haven’t had a chance to sort through these yet, but do you mind if I take a look?”

“Sure, if you see anything that I need to get on the floor right away just pull it out and I’ll price it. Anything you want just make me an offer.”

Can’t remember the last time I left there with more than a half dozen records, but I did today.

Just to name a few. Currently listening to Woody Guthrie Bound for Glory

Today...

P.J. Harvey  'To Bring You My Love'  Coincidental that the comment on distortion sounding undistorted came after I had played that album today.  It's really amazing how the overmodulation on the microphone, which is highly distorted (only intended so, and only on some of the songs) can sound so darn good.

Triumvirat  'Illusions On A Double Dimple'  Has any of you ever heard of this group?  I bought this shortly after acquiring my first audio system, in 1973.  A year later I bought their second album, titled "Spartacus".  They really play on the Emerson Lake & Palmer sound/style.  Not as good as ELP, but fun nonetheless.  It sounds very dated, and the SQ is just so so, but it brought back some cool memories of my first year in college.

Camel  "The Snow Goose'  A few others have posted recently on this band, Camel.  So, I thought to break out the one that I have, give it a clean, and spin it.  A nice listen, no doubt.

Steely Dan  'Gaucho'  Darn good album.  Can't get enough of the Dan.

To Bring You My Love is arguably her best work and, in my opinion, the most fun to listen to in terms of sonics. Agree with you, don’t know how they were able to make all that overmodulation sound so clean, almost natural. Just proves it can done.

I also bought Illusions On A Double Dimple when it came out. Got a cheap promo DJ copy. Remember it sounding really good, comparable to my ELP stuff... A Hot Stamper, maybe? It’s buried in the archives somewhere, I’ll try to find it.

Probably damaged because, like you, I was using my first system. Handed down to me by my sister. One of those General Electric suitcase systems with detachable speakers. Thought it sounded great at the time but I had to replace the cheap stylus every 2 months or so. Vinyl killer.
