Whats on your turntable tonight?

Astor Piazzolla - The American Clavé Recordings • 2022 Nonesuch (Germany)

This is really cool.  Beautiful music.  Arrived today.  Gave the first album of this three disc set another listen on the digital streamer earlier this evening, saving the record for a nightcap and comparison.  Of course the record gives so much more - that’s expected but in this case, wow, all the things I love about records are here on display.  Warmth, detail, tonal accuracy, liquid sweetness, natural overlapping of instruments, natural harmonics.  It sounds so real.  The digital version was exciting and conveyed the musical ideas but the record, wow, so much emotion.   If anyone who loves good music played this album on their home stereo without being moved I’d be really surprised.  

@spiritofradio Nice - I'll look forward to checking out the Piazzolla!

A friend found this in a used shop in Seoul and brought it back for me yesterday on the plane. It's a great pressing, and I like Cal Collins - he was new to me.

That Crusaders album last night was really special, one of the best recordings I’ve listened to in a while. Chain Reaction is one of their best records and this copy was amazing.

It appears to be a MFSL test pressing. It’s in a plain white sleeve with a stamp at the top that says "Sample Record Not For Sale" and "Record No. MFSL-1-010A/B Sample No. 5". I can’t find anything like it on Discogs. I have a VG+ standard MFSL pressing also and this sounds much more dynamic than I remember that one sounding and the vinyl is NM.

The best part is I got it at my local record store for $10.98.
