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

The Family of Mann - "First Light"

I have no idea where this album came from. I don’t recall buying it. Maybe it came in one of the small lots that were gifted to me. Seems out of place for any of those lots as it’s NM, and most of those were, uh, not...

Anyway, taking a listen and it’s pretty good so far.

Edit: OK, this record is much better than I was expecting. First, it is in MN condition and plays very quietly. SQ is very good. Musically, pretty good too. It's a keeper. Saved from the deep cull. Going back on the shelf.

Willie Nelson-Shotgun Willie Side 1

Roger Hodgson-Hai Hai Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Chapter 8-Forever Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The Fraser MacPherson Quintet-Jazz Prose(CJ-269) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Steven Stills-Manassas Side 3 

Lavern Baker-Sings Bessie Smith(Speakers Corner) Side 2

Joni Mitchell-The Hissing Of Summer Lawns Side 1 SQ Audiophile 

Brunch-Concerto No.1(Perlman Angel S-36963) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

A great night when 5/8 recordings are Audiophile level. Willie had the weakest SQ at 4.3(above average) but what an overlooked recording. The SQ champ was very close between all 5 recordings. The crown goes to Fraser MacPherson, it lacked the very slight digital? edge of Chapter 8 and Hodgson(Doug Sax). I rarely comment on performance level since it's even more subjective then sound quality, but all 8 recordings rate 5/5.

 

@tgilg  the Supertramp album, Crisis, was a go-to when living in the dorms, 1975 - 1976.  I agree with you that it was under rated.  It is a stellar Supertramp album and holds well to this day.  I am so glad to have a pp press, in perfect condition, in my collection.  Please, continue to enjoy it.
