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

The just released Kim Gordon's "The Collective", Ozric Tentacles', "Strangetude"(try finding that on vinyl" and the closing scene from "Gotterdammerung "Solti/Vienna from the 1958-65 recording of the complete Ring, that I recently found unopened.  The significance of that is that I have only seen a couple of copies in my life that were in a reasonable condition.  But, to find the complete set with John Culshaw's hardbound book on the making of it, unopened is a record milestone find, tour de force for me. My Tenor friend who has this on his short great list of operas pretty much defecated in his pants.
