Whats on your turntable tonight?

@mytthor, an Oracle? You are very privileged! I owned a MK3 at one time, but wanted a Mk5. Never did I know that the cheapest time to own one would be in 1999. A Mk6 was even available here for as cheap as $4500 here on AG 6 years ago. The seller wouldn’t ship it 2 states over from California. I didn’t blame him. Nice TT!

I could listen to all the jazz recordings one time each for the rest of my life, yet still not come close to listening to all of them. 
 

Tonight it’s the late great Hank Mobley’s Workout LP. A great and overlooked album. Mobley was a great artist. How many haven’t even heard of him?

Not sure why, but Fridays after a long week, I always seem to reach for Brahms

Szell conducts Brahms

• Double Concerto In A Minor

The Cleveland Orchestra with Mstislav Rostropovich & David Oistrakh
Angel reissue 1980’s, originally 1969 Мелодия
 

Bernstein conducts Brahms

• Serenade in A

New York Philharmonic
Columbia Masterworks 1968
 

Oingo Boingo / Only A Lad
1981 A&M

I see they’re releasing Boingo, the band’s finale album finally on LP. Haven’t played this in a long while, it sounds fantastic. Great cover of The Kinks “You Really Got Me”.
