Whats on your turntable tonight?

Manfred Mann "Watch"  

All this talk on Mayall, I had to play them.

John Mayall  "Blues From Laurel Canyon"  A second trip through the Degritter has helped quite a bit.  The quietest song on the album though, First Time Alone, is the noisiest.  Darn...  But what a great album.  And mine, after all, is an English pressing.

John Mayall  "John Mayall & Friends"  And what friends they are on this album.  Peter Green, Gary Moore, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Billy F Gibbons, Steve Miller, John McVie, and several others.  These cuts were made in 2001 and the album (at least in vinyl) was released last year.  Unless I am mistaken, I know that I was on the waiting list for several months.  This pressing is made in Germany and the vinyl is very quiet, the plating/pressing is excellent, and the overall SQ is about as good as it gets without having to pay for 1-Step, IMHO.

  "John Mayall & Friends"  

I’ve had my eyes on that one too. Almost all my Mayall collection is pre-80’s, but I’ve head some of his newer releases are very good. Should just check them out on Tidal I guess, to take a listen.

2 Long in the Wasteland is a long running favorite of mine - I pirated it to cassette, never owner the CD. i bought the vinyl this year. Steve said it’s digital, which i believe..sort of early digital of the day  but i still enjoy it. I have been streaming his new one…he still has the wry turn of phrase and ability to pack a life story into a 4 minute song…
