first vinyl purchase for new tt


Hi,

Just bought my first tt technics direct drive sl1210mk5g and will use it with my dartzeel preamp and amp. I have up to know a reference marantz cd player with 3000 or so cds and sacd.....any thoughts in jazz or rock on starting the vinyl lstening on my trip to AMOEBA
radioheadokplayer
Steely Dan-Aja
Miles Davis-Kind of Blue
Bob Dylan-Blonde on Blonde
Any of the new CCR pressings
I would have to say Sarah Mclachlan "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy & The Freedom Sessions" double LP on 200gr vinyl. Both LP's are superb. I prefer the stripped down versions on "The Freedom Sessions" the best. Also, Peter Gabriel's first solo LP "the car". Also on 200gr.....nice...
How about those new Warner Bros. reissues on 180g remastered by Steve Hoffmann from the original masters? They retail at $24.98 which strikes me as reasonable.

Releases include "Moondance," James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James" and "Mud Slide Slim," "Tres Hombres," "Blue" (Joni Mitchell), "Rumours," Ry Cooder's "Jazz," Sinatra & Ellington's "Francis A. and Edward K.," and "Rickie Lee Jones" self-titled. Some are available now and some are available for pre-order.
