Whats on your turntable tonight?

Messendger - same

here's a record so obscure that even @bslon has (probably) never heard of it--the sponsors, "sponsors". angsty sorta power pop, with terse, fantastic songs. from the tiny bit i've found on the web, they were from nyc and made only this one album; their singer (who is incredible) was allegedly 14 years old. you can find this on discogs or youtube:

@loomisjohnson They have a couple cuts on a 2012 various artist’s compilation called Buttons: Starter Kit. Didn’t know about an album, nice find!

Queen-Sheer Heart Attack Side 1

Glenn Frey-No Fun Aloud Side 1

Uriah Heep-Demons And Wizards Side 1

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Gimme Back My Bullets Side 1

Rosemary Clooney-With Les Brown(Aurex EWJ-80268) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Pink Floyd-Meddle Side 1

Dave Brubeck-WATAFTFT(Atlantic SD 1641) Side 2

Billy Joel-Turnstiles(MoFi Gain 2 No. 1121) Side 2 SQ*

Repositioned my speakers and rotated IC's/Powercords which created a noticeable SQ change. The only recording that was just average in SQ was Skynyrd might not be an OG pressing. SQ* Joel was tough to analyze maybe due to cable changes but my guess is an original pressing has better SQ. I'm sure some don't want/need/hear another version of Take Five but a 16 minute live version could be of interest.
