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

Jethro Tull / War Child
1974 Chrysalis 

Showing the back cover, more fun than the front

The Rolling Stones / Some Girls
1978 Rolling Stone Records

The front cover with the cutouts is cool, but the back cover…

Bette Midler-Broken Blossom Side 2

Al Di Meola-Casino Side 1

Megadeth-The Sick.. The Dying...And The Dead! Side 3

Elton John-Tumbleweed Connection Side 2

Allison Moorer-Blood Side B

Led Zeppelin-II Side 2

Dionne Warwick-Very Dionne Side A SQ Audiophile

Pat Metheny Group-First Circle Side B SQ Audiophile

Sunday evening power quality was not up to its usual standards. Might be related to a 36hr power outage in my area late last week. Very difficult to pick the worst SQ but was very disappointed in the noisy vinyl of my new/sealed Moorer LP when compared to a plethora of surface scratches on my yard sale find Zep 2 The latest Megadeth SQ was ok but nothing special. The content is solid but not up to the level of 2009's End Game. Metheny takes the SQ crown despite the very holographic sound of an excellent Warwick recording.
