Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"

Steve Winwood-Talking Back To The Night Side 1

Michael Franks-The Camara Never Lies Side 1

Bad Company-ST Side 1

Dave Mason-Certified Live Side 2 SQ Audiophile

George Benson-White Rabbit(1979 2nd press) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Heatwave-Central Heating Side 2

Maggie Rogers-Heard It In A Past Life Side A

Gary Moore-Victims Of The Future(Japanese pressing) Side 2

Could a "live" album win a SQ crown? Tonight it did. I'm aware that they "fix" live recordings, regardless its a great recording with top SQ and content. Maggie Rogers(2019) recording was not warped but scuffed it did have a sonic veil. Might purchase the CD to compare. Central Heating is a 5 star recording with near audiophile SQ if your a R&B fan check it out,

 

 

 

@tgilb, @slaw, i really liked ukelele songs, and i think the "into the wild" soundtrack is hugely underrated (though watching that kid tear up the $15k check makes me want to strangle him). "earthling", was a miss for me--like you say vedder's much better at the straight acoustic stuff than at the lavishly-arranged pop songs. today's picks:

sonny rollins, saxophone colossus--he can play the horn, but the real revelation here is max roach's drums, which are incredible

moby grape, s/t--apparently ongoing copyright disputes make much of these songs unavailable on spotify, but i'm still in awe of this album. bob mosley may have been the great white soul singer.

@mammothguy54 I really like that Beth Hart Zep tribute.  I have only streamed it, but I thought she knocked it out of the park.
