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

Hey "turntable tonight?" thread guys. Anyone else annoyed by this recent practice of placing a standard LP length recording onto 2 disks (4 sides)? 2-3 songs on a side makes for lots of up/downs to swap sides.

I think they sound amazing.  I just toss them on the BSR record changer and let it do the work.

@big_greg  - Are you mocking me? ;~)

Anyway, you can't do that with modern records as they are pressed - Disk 1 (side 1, side 2) and Disk 2 (side 3, side 4). It would play out of order on a stacker.

Now, if you have old double LPs, most of them were pressed - Disk 1 (side 1, side 4) and Disk 2 (side 2, side 3). This way you could play them on a stacker, listen to the first 2 LPs, flip the stack and listen to the rest, in order!

Love David Gray, in particular White Ladder as it summed up / captured a life phase i was in….thanks Tom, i will check that out. The recuts MAY be driven by a move back to manual recutting with less compression and bass demphahasis (eq) caused by computerized lathe. Dynamic range and volume at low end drive spacing… The wider spacing is better up to a point.

I surfed right up next to buying a manual Skulley lathe tgen discovered the Ferrari oil change bill… ha.

Dad had the stacker attachment for the 1019 Idler drive Dual TT but we were expressly forbidden ( verboten in Dual speak ) to even eye such a device…..

I am a slacker stacker Robot

Tom, I was just goofing.  I have some compilations that have side 1 & 4 on one disc and 2 & 3 on the other.  I always chuckle a little when I see those. 

I do get annoyed by that, but on the other hand, just the last couple of days I've played a couple of records that have a bunch of songs on each side and hear occasional weird chirps / distortion.

I am more annoyed that we seem to be back to having to solve a picture captcha for every post.  That is going to put an end to my posting days.
