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

most people don't care about records like this, so they all cost a dollar. guys my age say it's it's boring, gen xers the same. a boomer might say "it's my grandfather's music". but a clean copy of this one or "mr lucky goes latin" or pink panther is an absolutely mesmerizing stereo experience. this one is my favorite of the bunch - otherworldly organ-driven "mood music", enchanted and blessed. in my book it's up there with "twilight memories" by the three suns for sheer "wow" factor

Boston-ST Side 2 

Al Dimeola-Casino Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Dave Mason-Old Crest On A New Wave Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Kate Wolf-Give Yourself To Love Side 3 SQ Audiophile

Difficult to claim worst SQ tonight but was disappointed in a VG+ original pressing of Boston might need to get a reference level copy. Al Dimeola is the SQ(Ludwig) champ tonight.
